firstly, sorry for stepping on other peoples ground (QLD) but i just wanted to give my 2 cents...

being a 'nissan enthusiast' I can understand the importance of keeping skyline cruises as skyline cruises. If i had a skyline and went on a cruise with u guys, I must admit that i would be happier to see just skylines than every tom, penis and harry there....

there are a number of reasons i spend most of my internet time on sau even tho i dont own a skyline. i feel a lot of the information available to the public on here is very uselful and doesnt just relate to skylines only. i mean, i bought my BOV from another member on sau so it has come in handy for me.

skylines are one of the most popular imports on our roads (if not the) and therefore there is a lot more interest in this forum as opposed to others. sau should hold its head up high (i know its not possible but just feel me here ok? :D ) as there are a large number of non-skyline owners that have an interest in this forum and therefore feel that they want to meet other members... where better a place than a cruise? obviously the barinas and commowhores can be looked down upon but at the end of the day, whether they be lines, silvias or 180's, most of us have fast nissans and they are all a joy to see... i rekon keep em coming (within reason)...

a few miscellaneous nissans is alright. you don't get too many others at a meet anyway. squizz is not affected by this as he has been around for a while, used to have an R32 etc.

charades etc, no.

This is not performanceforums, or boostcruising, this is SKYLINESaustralia.

a while? A WHILE?!?!?!

i agree, i think skyline cruiz = skyline cars, but do u kinda feel a bit bad that maybe some of the dues with the other cars that come along look up to us skyline drivers, and respect us, hence the reason why they are involved, the thursday night meets should have a little bit of acceptence for some other cars( like a ratio of 30 skylines to 3 non skylines).........lol, just making suggestions. the thursday night meets are for a friendly meet between enthuisiastic mates isnt it, however the big saturday night cruiz is a different story, we are on show case to a large number of people, so to see odd cars out amongst a heap of lines, might be beside the whole point of such a cruiz.

Why do we have to have a blanket rule for ALL cruises? We can discuss this at our next meeting Slip/Gary/Birty/Abu53, but here's what I suggest:

* Cruises where we aim for a large majority of Skylines but allow specifc cars (eg other Nissans, or imports or whatever)

* Cruises which are strictly Skylines only. I'm a fan of just about anything that goes, stops, steers and looks the goods, but as has already been stated, this community is all about Skylines. You can look at this as a reward for those that already own a Skyline, and incentive to buy one for those that don't :thumbsup:

* We could also have invitation-only cruises/events, to reward loyal members, or members who've made a valuable contribution

* Obviously, if someone has previously proven themselves to be a dickhead, at an SAU event or elsewhere, they will NOT be welcome. We want to keep these cruises incident-free and legal.

Anyway, this is just off the top of my head and is just meant for discussion. Feel free to poke holes in my post :D

That's what I was thinking. We're a model-specific car club, and we should deviate as little as possible from the cars we are so enthusiastic about. That's Skylines, just in case anyone was wondering :D

If we allow any vehicle to tag along on our cruises, we lose our identity as a club - instead of seeing a Skyline club, people will see a whole stack of miscellaneous cars going the same direction. Not what we want.

If/when we have cruises that aren't strictly Skylines only, we want cars that sort of 'fit in' - I'm not trying to sound snobby here (hey I used to drive a lowered VC Commodore with pursuit rims and a whole stack of different shades of red on it, I know all about shìtty cars :thumbsup:) but we want to be indentifiable as a distinct group. Falcons, Commies, Barinas et al already have their own niche clubs - if they really want to come along on a Skyline cruise, there are usually plenty of spare Skyline seats and obliging drivers :D And what better place to tee up one of these seats than the SAU forums?

    • 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.
