I dont think we should have any type of holden period. This just being me and not liking them at all. I think with other cars it should depend on what were doing on the cruise ie. mountain run or just normal cruising on back roads etc thus the faster cars dont get stuck behind someone who cant simply keep up.

I was planning on having a field day with this thread, but I wont.

Short and sweet IMHO –

Nothing Australia full stop. (Except aussie spec skylines)

Only a hand full of none import Nissan cars invited. Example; Supra’s Porsche’s etc.

Cars that are none Nissan (that are invite only), should ONLY be a performance import, or some form of a euro sports car.

Your $250 daily driver is not welcome, if your nice import is off the road, don’t come to a cruise.

People who are rednecks should also be not welcome IMHO. I don’t associate with rednecks in my own time, and I don’t wish to associate with them in a car club.

My $2 for now.

Ok then, Ska looks like your organising next week's cruise cause I'm certanily not comming. I would say some other stuff too but I really don't see the point. *closes SAU window* :wavey:

Boo Hoo...

God damn... Add your point of view... You might be suprised what sort of discussion it provokes... I know of quite a few active members who want you to stay...

I'm against it to be honest... I think you would be better suited to qldstreetcars or boostcruising IMHO...

Strutto is right, add your view. This is a forum, where opinions and views are posted.

Even the name of the club makes it blatantly obvious we are a model-specific community. FFS if we organise an event as part of Skylines Australia, is it that unreasonable to expect a large majority of participants to be driving Skylines?

If someone tried to bring a Falcon to an organised meeting of a Commodore club, or an Excel to a Street Machine meetup, they would more than likely be told to go their own way (perhaps not in those words). I think the fact that we, as a community, are even discussing this shows the open-mindedness of the group as a whole.

Im an active member "i think" Phatmirage in my opinion and others that are enthusiasts should be aloud to, yes there is a point and yes maybe not on the huge skyline cruises but thursday night meets whats the problem? I have nothing but respect for Phatmirage in particular as this guy has to be able to drive to be able to keep with us on some of the runs we have done and that car surprised me, it goes awesome. Just my 2 cents i suppose wether that counts or not i dont know, but personally were performance car enthusiats and all share a common passion.

Exactly - I think the best solution lies in not trying to make blanket rules to suit every situation (speed limits anyone?), as a few people, myself included, have mentioned a few times previously. Some cruises will be Skylines only - if it ain't a 'line, it ain't coming. Other cruises would certainly be more lenient. I suppose how we treat a particular cruise would depend on whether it's purely a social thing or whether there is a bit of showcasing the club happening too. What's the point in having a Skyline club if you don't need a Skyline for some events?

But yer, I'm stuffed, going to sleep now :P Behave kids :)

You may want to re-think that one. What about finical members once it’s up and running? They may have sold there skyline/buying another or even wish to drive another import he/she may own. I think saying to finical members “piss off” your not coming to a skyline only cruise if they wish not to take there skyline, or may not even have one for above reasons is a bit silly.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
