Does SAU VIC ever have DIY days? Haven't seen any posted recently, I know in other car clubs they tend to do them more regularly.

Define "DIY Days", do you mean getting together and having a few tutorials on how to do certain tasks with cars? Oil / Plug / Filter Change, how to test if your bushes are worn and may need replacement, general car maintenance checklists etc?

More everyone working on their cars for the day.

Not sure if it's as common for Skylines (probably because there are less issues haha), but with the FTO club we use to do them every few months where we worked on our cars with basic maintenance, upgrading parts, helping others fix their cars etc.

lol

the Mrs golf, within 18 months of a brand new car.

- DSG shudders and clunks under acceleration

- car rolls back if started on incline - if incline steep enough, car unable to move

- VW recall - without car for 2 weeks - issues half fixed, car still rolls but doesn't get stuck and now shudders on decel instead

- Started running on 3 cyl due to ignition lead placed within 2 cm of turbo hotside - common fault, clearly "planned obsolescence"

- car sounds like oil is empty when in low revs.... not confidence inspiring

Sounds about right.. Horrible cars all round

Makes me sad had considered an r8 in the future not so likely now

I do this every few months, have 2-3 blokes around and we all work on our cars and have a bbq :) Lots of swearing and knuckle scraping fun :)

I could potentially see problems doing this with SAUVIC in an official capacity, insurance issues if we're doing it at a workshop etc :/

I'll put the call out for wastelanders next time I'm going to have a car weekend though :D

Ironic numberplates on a car for sale where scams are common?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
