Hey there, was looking at the old unused/surplus misc Skyline stuff that is piling up in my shed. Really need to sell it methinks.

Tried to get motivated in taking pics, posting up the ads, etc, etc, - then there's the dealing with the punters out there..... ARRRGH - I CBF'ed!! It would be much simpler if I could sell the bits in one go at a swap meet - so here's the thought:

Would there be any interest to run an SAU Swap meet?

Could this be an SAU club event?

I'm sure there are heaps of SAU'ers (and non SAU'ers) that have heaps of spares lying around waiting to be sold, and lots of other enthusiasts waiting for those bargains to come up. We could probably run a show and shine and BBQ at the same time - depends on level of interest and venue....

I remember back in the day over on the AE86DC forums, they ran a swap meet and there was HEAPS of interest but when it actually came down to it, no one bought anything lol

Many people brought along parts, from small add on mods, wheels to heads.

Sounded like a great idea to begin with but it was a pretty big fail. It may be different with the SAU community and I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a go, but thought I'd throw in my experience.

I like this idea... ...You're more than welcome to bring it up at the next general meeting...

My Dad runs a market for the Springvale Rotary Club so having a venue wouldn't be a problem... ...But the S'n'S integration is also a good idea...

I've actually been talking to someone about just the same thing as he has heaps of parts lying around he wants to sell (SAU-Vic sponsor).

Could be an option where everyone comes down for a day or something?

People bring whatever and chuck on a BBQ etc.

We would need some foot traffic too - people to buy our gear.

Otherwise it is stall holders buying other stall holder's stuff. You would probably end up in a similar situation as adam raised above.

At least if we did the BBQ thing, sponsors get involved and do the show 'n' shine it would bring some other benefits.

Is it possible to advertise/promote elsewhere?

Well I don't think it could be a traditional style of swap meet in regards to foot traffic.

It would have to be targeted. I mean the workshop I'm talking about almost has enough parts to just do it alone haha, so there would be plenty of stuff.

Then I've got a bucket load of odd bits & pieces as well as I'm sure lots of others would as well.

Could certainly tie in a BBQ etc. End of the day the only people interested would be Skyline owners anyway so the only form of promotion for traffic is SAU etc.

Worst case it fails, best case it's a lot of fun :)

I was more thinking of putting the word out via other mediums/forums where Nissan owners lurk.

Like? :D

I think just with Skyline owners there would be enough to kick this off. It might work, it might fail hence not getting too ahead of oneself initially

Valid point (getting ahead of onself...).

I assume the 'Like" refers to FB.... which I stay away from.

SO, how do we get this show on the road?? sounds like we have some interest - probably should get on to this before winter sets in.

Haha no... Like as in, what other mediums to contact/inform people its on?

Will report back over the weekend once I've spoken to a few people and see what can be done

Do we have any affiliations/relationships with other forums? Maybe some sponsors who are across a few forums can 'own' and promote this??

Alternatively we can give it a go ourselves and see how we go.

Aside from that ... nadda....

I know lots of other clubs, admins etc.

Problem is a swap meet for cars needs to either be small-ish - and skyline only.

Or super-size and have every make model you can think of.

I reckon a SAU one would perhaps be a better start point than not

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
