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?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
