In case some of you have been living under a rock :P the SAU Nats are being held in Victoria on the 28th-30th October.

On the Friday, the NSW guys are leaving Sydney bright and early and we're going to meet up with them at the big service centre near Yass to do the road trip.

This is just a call out to anyone who perhaps didn't know about it, or was thinking of coming, to feel free to join us!

Me, Tats, Pat (and Nic), Richard (& son), and Robert are all confirmed and heading from the ACT. There is quite a lot of Sydney guys, so it should be an awesome convoy down the highway!

I have copied and pasted some details from Eric's thread below. Link to whole thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/376794-sau-nationals-road-trip-super-cruise/

SAU Nationals Road Trip

This is just an unoffical SAU cruise where we can enjoy the trip together and make a long trip much more enjoyable. The whole trip takes about 8 hours without stops so we will need to meet up early and leave strictly on time.

I've given about 15 minutes of buffer for each of the stops. The idea is that if you REALLY want a certain type of fuel or have to pee, then stop and meet us at the next location. As long as you are quick and don't dilly dally you should be fine. We have two longer breaks - for meeting up in Yass and then a quick lunch & Pit stop in Albury.

What to bring:

Be sure to be prepared for a solid 8 hours of driving. Have brekkie before we meet up and have your sunscreen on - nothing worse than truck driver tan!

If you have a CB bring it along so we can chat along the way.

THE PLAN:

Sydney Meeting Point:

Starting Location: Pheasants Nest Mobile

Starting Time: Meet up @ 6:30 for a 7 AM SHARP! departure.

We WILL leave right at 7 am so don't miss the bus.

Remember we are on a strict schedule to meet up with the Canberra people at meeting point #2.

Canberra Convoy Catch-up:

Starting Location: Caltex Truck Stop @ Yass off Hume Hwy

Meet up Time: Meet up @ 10:15 AM for a 10:45 departure.

Fast Fuel & Lunch stop in Albury:

Arrival Time in Albury: 1:45

Activity: Fuel stop of choice and grab fast food lunch

Meeting Point: Aquatic Centre

Departure time: 2:30 SHARP! Don't be tardy!

Arrival in Shepparton: 4:40 pm

Now check into your hotel, have a quick tidy up and meet up for the pre-SAU Nats festivities!

For those of you wanting to actually enter the event, SAU NSW have 10 "allocated" spots for the Winton trackday and I believe only 3 spots are taken. If you are keen, get in now, because the VIC guys have filled their spots and have a list of reserves who will be allocated our spots if we haven't filled them!

I have entered the Show and Shine... there is no real drama about missing out on a spot there however :thumbsup:

It's gonna be awesome!!! I'm looking forward to the cruise down there. The NSW lads have a few things planned like a nice cruise video.

I'm not entering anything as of yet. def not the track day as it'll be my first and more importantly my car's first, i wouldn't want to have it f**k out so far away...

Me and Nic are heading off to melbourne on the monday so we won't be convoying back with everyone.

Haha it's Shepparton, there's probably somewhere you could set up your swag :laugh:

We're all over town... Tirana is the main one (where we always stay for DECA) but it's full... some of us are staying at the Quest, and the Central Shepp Apartments.

Keen for a bit of a cruise and "reintegration" into the SAU society haha - hopefully have the GTR back by then, although she is looking a bit worse for wear in the body department :(

Where are you staying Richard? If we can get the same place we can booze on till early hours of the morning :cheers:

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
