Hey guys,

I'm in a little car group which just started off as a bunch of mates from high school which has evolved into a group of about 40+ enthusiasts with cars ranging from skylines to supras to silvias to hondas and so on.

Each one of my close mates is in another more specific car group such as Supra Club Victoria and S-Chassis Club.

Just wanted to know if there was any skyline dedicated groups or clubs that have regular meets and/or cruises. I've been looking for a while and can't seem to find any at all.

If you are in a club and are looking to expend with new members then look me up on facebook or message me here.

If not, then maybe a few would like to get together a start a small local skyline enthusiast club.

Let me know!

Thanks.

Matt.

Good thinking, it's so hard to find a dedicated Skyline club, I mean there is only: Skylines Australia, SkylineOwners, R31 Skyline Club, Classic Skylines Australia and various GT/GTR based clubs. It's almost as if there was nothing out there!

Seriously though, we are running a whole lot of events this year, some open to anybody and some exclusive to members. If you want access to the best events, sign up as a member today! :D

LOL SAU Vic doesn't hold too many cruises but we do have monthly garage meets and various other events throughout the year. There are a few other branches of Skyline clubs in Melbourne, usually just started by a bunch of mates like you and your friends. It's much easier that way to organise things and there's no bureaucracy involved (such as having only paid members cruise due to insurance/CAMS issues). I know of a few GTR-only clubs in Melbourne but if you're after something more general, try JDMST. They have quite a few carpark meets and cruises.

Lol really?

We've already had this year GOR, go karts day, Marysville, dyno day, and coming up lakes entrance cruise, and its only may.

AND.. There are HEAPSSS more Events coming up soon!

Aaron there's only been GOR cruise and the Coffee and Cakes cruise. 2 cruises in 5 months. Last time I knew anythng go-karts day and dyno day weren't cruises. HOWEVER, I did mention that various other events were run throughout the year :)

Two cruises in five months are actually quite a bit for one club, especially with the cams insurance stuf we have to go through! My personal opinion, is that anymore than that and people just simply won't turn up, for the 400km that they might put on their car in a day..

My opinion anyway! As you said though, it's not just cruises we do HEAPS of other fun shit.

Coming up is a duck meet! ;)

Very true, though I've only been on the committee for like two months and now that the Dyno Day is long gone, I will aim to run monthly cruises and events. So there will be plenty of cool stuff coming up :)

Come along to the Lakes Entrance cruise next weekend, for a relatively boring run, it has more interest than I expected haha

Basicly a reply to all of the above posts;

I know i'm in SAU Vic. But it's not really "skyline dedicated". Everyone has a passion for one, etc. but what i was looking for it something alot SMALLER within SAU. A group i could call up and say 'hey let's hang out and talk shit about cars' and be able to meet them in 10 minutes sorta thing.

noone has really grasped what i wanted to achieve here, but thanks for the input!

Oh, everyone is generally like that. You can post up in the events section Last minute cruises or meets, and people will rock up..

Last week we wanted some food so a few of us got together and did just that

and one of our members even bought 24 cans of condensed milk.

This kind of thing happens all the time. Go along to meets and make friends with people; get their numbers and organise last minute cruises on nights when you're bored.

That's what I did a few years ago. Had only been to one SAU Vic meet and not long after I found myself doing unofficial/private mountain runs with some of the regulars in groups of 5-10 cars every weekend. Bit old for that now :(

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
