Hey guys have been here for a few weeks now, thought I would come here and say hello because the wasteland looks like some fun and I didn't want to be too much of a random. My names Bill, live in the Hurstville area Sydney, looking at becoming an SAU NSW member as I want to get more involved in the car community, I love skylines always have, always will and everyone from SAU is nothing but friendly and seem like an awesome bunch of blokes. Interested in participating in some track days and things like that. Had a few fair lemon daily's in my driving career only two things worth noting are a Honda prelude (barely- not a Honda fan-boy) and a non turbo r33 gtst back in my late teens.

The prelude was nice and had nice creature comforts however I wouldn't enjoy the FWD, I loved the Skyline as you would imagine. I have a lemon Mitsubishi Magna as a daily which is on its way out and is also due for rego, I'll be getting something cheap with some rego to get around for now, almost at the end of my saving goal to buy a weekender.

Other then cars, I'm not into too much as a hobby anymore, was never into the clubbing or the going out scene, more of a hang out with friends grab something to eat and relax type of guy.

Was into bodybuilding for about 5 years quiet seriously, dont go too often anymore, enjoy some fifa on PlayStation so if anyone wants a game pm me.

Thats about it, happy to be here, if anyone has any questions let me know!

Cheers, Bill

Welcome.

definitely join the club.

as a cams affiliated club, you can get your license and enter motorsport events.

great bunch of people.

either way, hope to see you on some cruises.

Cheers on the replies guys( and girls) , definitely going to join up, anyone have a link and the easiest way to go a bout becoming a member? Is it possible to become a member even if one doesnt own a skyline at the moment?

Have no pics on the set up, nothing fancy, dont have a skyline at the moment and probably wont for a while. I was going to get an r32 GTR but with the age and maintanence on them i've decided to go for an evo for now, (dont shoot me) still really want to become a member and participate and become more involved in the whole motorsport events and cruise scene, surely there are a few NSW members that have evo's and different types of cars other then skylines?

Don't get me wrong skyline will always be my favorite and if I had enough I would love to get mint series 3 r33 GTR or an r34, just dont have the funds for it at the moment, later on in life when I am set up a little better I'll definitely be going in that direction..

Before someone says why dont you go and become a member of an evo club, simply because an r34 GTR was my dream car growing up and I have always loved everything Nissan.

I have been browsing these forums for so long and cant help but notice how friendly and helpful everyone is, just seems like an awesome crowd to hang around and I feel a lot more comfortable in this community.

      Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable

      RB25DET Neo Rebuild

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.

      R33 GTST Sh*tbox to Polished T*rd

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
