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.

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...

:P

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.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      So, after talking to Tyson at Auto Tech Engineering about my "cunning plan", he suggested to "not piss money away on stuff that the car probably doesn't need" (the max IAT at the end of the 1/4 ever only seen around 30°C, which is in no way a issue, and as such, for what I use the car for I really don't need colder IAT anyway The whole point of the "upgrades" that I thought about doing was that my IAT started creeping up from 25°C to 30°C when cruising, then drop back down, then raise back up, rinsing and repeating, it has never done that before, so after talking to FI interchillers they assumed that it was the Bosch pump starting to fail, and if I was going to replace the pump....... I would do my usual thing of "while where in there" But, Tyson said he has seen similar things happen to IAT with failing or leaking AC compressors on other cars with interchillers, and as the AC compressor is 22 years old it is probably well on the way out anyway, and if a electric water pump fails it stays failed and doesn't just speed up and slow dow, but if a AC compressor starts to fail or is leaking, it will fluctuate and give a typical result to the IAT He said he could test the compressor and see how it is functioning and pressure test the whole system, but, as I do, I've just got them to order a new compressor to install to start with, and do a AC service and see if that fixes the issue That way, if it is the compressor, I wouldn't be spending lots of coin on something that wasn't the issue, and not actually needed, as the stage 2 kit, and pump, comes in at around $2k in parts alone, not including the plumbing and other parts that will be required or labour  And apparently the Bosch pump I have is really reliable and well up to task for the flow/pressure requirements that I need to keep my intercooler and massive amounts of boost heat (7 psi LOL) under control giving a nice and cold IAT A big shout out to Tyson for this, not many people will talk a idiot out of wasting money on car modifications, and the saved car budget funding can be wasted elsewhere on things that I may, or may not, need, like a nice new leather SS interior with red stitching......maybe I can convince the Minister for War and Finances into a nice trip down to Victoria for a week away to see the sights (I'll explain that I will need a hire car once we're down there so we don't have to worry about the Commodore being parked up on the streets at night, and it just so happens there's a joint that I can store it during that time) $1680 for all of the interior trims, + installation cost (I'll ask for a quote to install the trim if the new compressor fixes the issue)   https://leatherseats.com.au/products/leather-seats-trim-skins-kit-to-fit-vt-vx-vy-ser1-ss-green-black-diy-install

      Google tells me that's a Japanese Rat Snake... 2m long? Man I think Australia has traumatised me to think all snakes are dangerous unless they're pythons. Also... "16 years later..." is that a record on SAU @PranK?

      Yep, I really miss mine. I dont, however, miss it's understeer. Hard to find a genuine 'Sport' model these days. That sounds awesome! Good fun and great result!  I'd love to do a 1/4 in mine now that its reasonably healthy with the tune. I last did a run in my white GTR, I think it was a 12.3 and I can't remember the mph and I think the little E90 might be quicker.

      FWIW, I made 372kW on a Mainline dyno, with a stock motor (bar head studs & usual bolt ons) on E85 (pretty timid timing in the mid range) and it blew up after a year of track use. Probably got like 5~6 Wakefield track days and 1x skid pan somewhere in between.
