Hello :wavey:

Ok i have an idea for a big event for the SAUWA club, its kind of a trading serect/skills day, i bet most of yous dont understand what i mean so i will explain; a day where we hire out a park or use a workshop (sst ect) and have ahole heap of members (the more people the better) come and down and share there skills with out memebers. We could also have a few people bring tools, so if people want to install parts ect we could all join in and help.

I will also try to get a few shops down, so maybe we can have some parts ect on sale or something like that, if it is at a workshop that may be hard, but then again we could have a dyno comp also on the day.

AFter all the trading ect we could have a nice BBQ then a night cruise to finish on the night.

I know im not a person who does the event ect, but i will be more than happy to get it all done (ring the places ect ect) as i really wanna do this.

Now i dont think that the day will work unless we have alot of people coming down maybe around 40 or 50cars would be perfect (i would say no more than 70 depending on the place where we hold it). If i get like 30 or 40 people for it then i will set a date (late april or maybe later) and get everything all fix up for us.

I have no idea about planing a cruise so maybe, someone can help me out there (more than happy 2 print out the maps ect)

Any input would be nice :)

Thankyou Mike

ok just found the old thread and i through i add what it said in here:

Skills Swapping, Sun 21 Sep 2003?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To confirm what has been discussed in the general WA section about a skill swapping day, I will just give a brief overview of the aim of the day.

A day where members can meet in an open space and we basically help each other with some of the simple things mechanically, or electrical, cosmetic, whatever you can think of, on our cars. A chance to do all of those little things you have been putting off.

Everyone bring their tools, their skills, hopefully we will find a place with BBQ facilities. Bring beer.

Some of our mechanically minded members have offered their services, and will show people how to do simple things such as fluid changes, break pad changes and some simple stereo fitting, speakers etc. YOU WILL REPAY THEM BY PROVIDING THEM WITH BEER, or a token payment (a fraction of what you would have paid someone else to do it).

Please post here if you have a relevant skill to add to the day, or if you have something you would like some help with. Hopefully we will all learn something.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- if we plan on cruise better easy on the drink :)

- People are welcome to sell stuff (i think this is a good idea, as people can buy them install on the day)

the main idea was to have a "welcome mikey to sauwa club" cruise but then thinking about it, i through not many people would turn up :) so i better make it more appealing for the rest of the members as some have a problem with me hehehe :) (just jokinn :rofl:)

Mike - that is a great idea. Feel free to speak to dan and myself about it if you want to go ahead. It may also be a good opportunity to raise some funds for the club!

Can I suggest maybe putting up a poll to get an general idea to see if this event will attract any interest??

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
