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 ;)

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
