Ok guys wanted to send out an invite to all the sensible skyline owners who would like to join a meet/dinner at Deago’s this Wednesday the 10th of April the address is 44 Bryants rd Loganholme. It’s going to be and has been a regular event for guys and gals to come together and talk crap and swap ideas and of course admire each other’s cars.

I’m posting this in the hope of getting a few good numbers as we are at 10 to 15 cars now but have room for more, so if you don’t own an import but have a bike or something feel free as long as it has some WOW factor and as long as you understand that the only way this works is if we control the right foot on and off the streets entering and exiting the car park and show respect to all other patrons of the unit complex so no skids or racing or drifting. Once you leave the area we don’t care what you do just not around us please (We don’t want this to be like downshift). There are several video cameras as well as all of the other guys and gals there who WILL send your details to the local cop shop and you will be named and shamed on the internet.....

Now the good news is the dinner at Deago’s is Mexican and most meals can be had for around $20 we are regulars. There is a bar open but please DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE soft drink is on offer at normal prices.

Times will be 6pm if you plan to eat or 8pm if you just want to look at the cars on offer.

Please write up if you would like to eat with us, so I can let the owner know the numbers of seats to hold, you have the option of eating on your own table i.e. with your family but if thats the case you will need to contact them to make a booking or you can eat with us at a bigger table, it’s all up to you just let me know.

I myself will be there in my Grey R33 Gtst at 6pm and would love to meet you guys so please come say hello to another skyline owner. This is as stated a meet for all car lovers alike

Hi Chris,

Excellent initiative mate. Love the effort that you're putting in.

We tend to have dinners on a weekly basis (usually in a more central area).

Due to the Toowoomba cruise, there hasn't been one this week or last week.

Should be able to make it out tomorrow night with a few guys.

Cheers,

Thanks mate, the only reason I ask is I've seen a lot of skylines towards the Logan hypo area and thought it would be a good way to get to know some other skyline or car lovers, we will have about 15 to 20 cars making the trip at this stage but the more the better.... ;)

We had a really good time, about 10 cars of different types a Honda jazz with 180kw turbo engine was a stand out and the TRD import corolla with 6k audio gear was good too. What's this German club? Where is it?

      R32 Nostalgia

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
