I think a Nissan swap meet rather than Skyline-specific would work better. Remember a lot of mods/upgrades/parts work cross-platform so you are really limiting potential buyers by only inviting SAU Members. Advertise it on and organise it with say NS, MelbS15, JDMST, R31SkylineClub, etc. as well and I dare say it'd be a bigger success.

I've spoken to my dad about doing such a thing and he said he'd be ok with SAU members taking a few spots at the Springvale Rotary Sunday Market. The next one is tomorrow, so it's a bit short on notice. It's always held on the second sunday of the month, in the car park across the road from Sandown train station. The other side of the tracks to the raceway.

The deal would be that it's $10.oo for whoever is selling stuff. (If you come to look it's a gold coin). You park your car on your spot and sell out of your boot. Or if you've got a trailer full of stuff you pop that on your spot and park your car off to the side. You're free to bring whatever tables you like to display stuff.

From the clubs point of view we really don't need to do anything apart from advertise. All the public liability stuff is in the hands of Springvale Rotary. I'll try and get dad to come along to the next SAU meeting and have a chat about maybe getting this thing off the ground. At the moment I can only see advantages for us hoping on a bandwagon that's already on the move. The only thing is that Rotary usually meet on the same night as SAU. We leave mum home alone. :whistling:

I've been to Bendigo and Ballarat swap meets more times than I can remember. The idea of going to a swap meet is to buy parts that are rare or cheap. If you had a swap meet and everything was the same price as the forum it negates the whole idea. I bought a pair of lmgt4 17x9.5 that fitted my gtst for $300 for example. People have to be willing to discount their parts for a quick sale if its ever going to work.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
