OK I've had enough. This issue has been brought up across a few threads, and it doesn't seem to be going away in any sort of hurry. What sort of vehicles should be allowed to come out on SAU Qld cruises? This has nothing to do with who is on the forums at all, as it clearly states that the forums are open to all motor vehicle enthusiasts. I have nothing against the people who drive these cars, but lets face it, this is a skyline site, and what’s the point of having a “skyline” cruise when other cars outnumber the skylines?

If you turned up to a Holden commodore car club meet in a Barina, or perhaps a turbo astra jumping up and down saying “can I cruise with ya, eh, eh?” would you expect them to welcome you with open arms? I don’t think so. They would probably tell you to f*@k right off. What do the rest of you think? Where do we draw the line? And who gets to decide and enforce this?

Well, you beat me to it! Was going to post the same thread...

I think we should alow a handfull ie no more than 2-3 cars other than skylines to come along... With the following stipulations...

-The person must be an active and known member of the forums. ie no-one off the street.

-Must drive a car deemed to be up to scratch.

-Must be a person everyone is happy to have come along.

I will be happy to be the judge and jury on this issue when it arises, as I would be fair and looking at the greater interests of the group.

I think a secret PM vote should be undertaken before anyone new comes or recieves info for a meet. We have grown alot now and need to keep the same feel with our meets, read as: NO DICKHEADS. If we get too big or have even ONE wanker come along its bad news for the rest of us and we loose what we have built so far...

Agreed?

I agree 100% James...

Nissan Imports are fine in moderation IMHO... EG: Cefiros, 180SX's, Silvias, etc...

But Barinas, Commodores, Lancers etc. are NOT welcome in my mind... By all means come to the meeting spot in your Hyundai, but try and organise a ride in a Skyline rather than tagging along in your POS...

I agree other import nissans are welcome to come

But these other cars tagging along are sorta getting annoying, there are other websites for these guys to goto cruises for any make/model cars.

Heres two websites for you guys

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
