SAU Community

Recommended Posts

OP started this thread on 1 May ... I think this is pretty indicative that perhaps more active members should be approached and should be given a moderator status to help assist things like this (and before anyone asks - for obvious reasons, being I rarely post and prefer to read, I'm not putting my hand up)

Even the WA workshop thread, that I posted a while back and people replied with the latest info on the garages, wasn't used to update the pinned consolidated workshop thread. The WA section isn't a high traffic forum and only takes about 5 mins to read everything and respond to these sorts of queries.

Come down on July 7th... as I said we can all chat about the status of SAUWA and possible ways to help fix it's problems!

You gona put your hand up?

Sorry, No, as I don't hop on the forum as frequent anymore and I don't drive a Skyline so there is no urge of me to organise events if I can't participate in it.

sometimes it's better to let go and teach the younger generation how to run the WA Section so the club can move forward.

Ps. No hating on the club, it's a legit statement coming from me and a few of the old SAU members who used to hop on here and troll one another.

I used to put on cruises, however was never allowed to advertise them as "sau cruises".

I'm genuinely interested in seeing both the site, and club running back up again (as I still have a skyline). Let me know if you need mods or committee members - maybe the site does need some fresh new faces/people who are interested.. Bla bla bla

Dan - I'm still waiting for my stickers (that fit into the r34 quarter window) :P

Gone from one of the biggest forums to a nothing, Did we all move away from Skylines?

I still have a Few but the Import Image became very dodgy.

apart from r35s most of the skylines we own are getting old now. . people move on to newer things

Well as Dan is clearly not watching this topic, I assume you've clicked the link in his sig and emailed him?

4 people interested so far, one of which is an SAUNSW member and one is the event's organiser (me). Way to put your money where your mouths are WA ;)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
