there is always ways around it though, if it is showcasing the club there shouldnt be a problem with being able to ride in someone elses car... but then again yes its a hard thing to put a strict rule on.... there will always be exceptions...

I feel that if you are an active member on this forum then the Thursday night cruises are cool for different cars. People like PhatMirage, Evo etc contribute to these forums and shouldn't be left out because at this moment in time they don't own a Skyline.

Big Skyline events should be a no go for non-skylines. I have an objection to people inviting their mates along who drive "whatever" on a Thursday who don't participate here. And don't forget it is nice to see how your car trounces most other cars on the road as well

agreed, exceptions are always gonna exist, i dont really think its a problem at the moment personally, maybe if it does become a problem do something about it but until then im having fun and i think most of your regular thursday night guys enjoy it, if u didnt u wouldnt come obviously.

"If it aint broke, dont fix it"

not all of them yet i dont think but a few, i mean really u guys seen the look on my face when someone mentions nething remotely sounding like mountain, or empty carpark it makes me all warm and fuzzy.

well i think just making it strictly "skylines only" is a bit of a wank, as well there are plenty of people on here that are perfectly able to keep up and I don't think you'd have problems with. PhatMirage is a good example and good bloke and was more than welcome last night and his car was more than able to give anybody a run (even though he's now pissed because he read this thread). If you have a performance vehicle with the emphasis on performance and have spent money in doing that, you should be able to come along. Some variety makes things interesting -- we all know how a skyline travels.

And somebody who doesn't know the limits of their own vehicle are probably going to be worse than somebody is arguably in a "slower car" but which has better handling and they know the exact limits of their car so its a bit of a stupid and wanky argument IMHO.

I can understand that we don't want cheap ass rice boxes who'll fly off the first corner and/or pose a danger to the skylines (which is what we are here for), and/or dickheads that may cause trouble, but if they're not any of those categories I can't see the problem at all.

This is also "skylines australia", and not every skyline was produced after 1993 either.. so excluding these because in your eyes they are "shitboxes" just gives an overly elitist, egotistical and wanky attitude. One of the reasons I like SAU is because these things aren't that present here, so don't make it like that.

If people subscribe to the same ethos of enjoying their car for the performance rather than just the looks, they should be able to come.

Rock on, I'm with you on this one (as a none Skyline owner myself I feel I should come too) but I have only one problem with the Mirage - HE BLOODY CUT ME OFF!!! Other than that he seems pretty cool, although I wonder how on Earth he fits in the damn thing...

Yeah PhatMirage kept up with me on the way home, and I gave it a bit to keep up with strutto, so that little thing can hold it's own.

Why cant we be freinds? Why cant we be freinds?Why cant we be freinds?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • 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.
