S A U - Act Cruise To The 2013 Nationals In S.a ?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

If your not a Mushroom you would know by now that the SAU Nationals 2013 is being held in South Australia this year.

It's a bit of a trip but reward yourself and take some well earned time off work and make the Journey.

I encourage you all to consider as these are AWESOME events. Much fun during the days and shenanigans in the evenings.

A number of us ACT peeps represented @ Shepparton Vic in 2011 and Goulbourn NSW in 2012.

Best opportunity to meet the rest of the Skyline community and have some unforgettable times.

This year the organisers have done great and organised BULK accommodation. Meaning everyone can stay at the one venue.

Yes I'll be going and I'll be driving the GTR.

Bit of a Nostalga trip also. Haven't been to S.A for about 25yrs.

Grew up in a number of places in SA from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Smithfield plains to Inverbrackie up in the Hills. (Army brat)

Got my first tatt on Hindley street near Rundle Mall ! (ye old eagle - lol).

I'm going to go for a beer at Eagle on the Hill too. Never be the same as the original.

I remember the Dukebox and Astroids/PACman/Frogger table game, bucket of hot chips and a fire engine :)

Small stone pub and had to duck to get through the doorways. Awesome old pub.

Even tried tipping the soccer bus over on Devils Elbow when single lane and it turned in on itself.

No, a bit far out. Just seeking ACT interest at the moment.

Also want to see when NSW crew may cruise past and see if it suits.

Will plan with Kyle and any others and see how we lock in with each others thinking.

Accommodation will be the first thing locked in/down.

I hate the Hay plains so much I can't even tell you how many times I've done that freaking trip.

I wish I could go and have the GTR in my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Adelaide) however too close to my US trip in November.

Look forward to seeing pics and footage, will be an epic convoy!

I can take your car for you!!!

I too have done hay plains one to many times (every year for the past 21 years)

not sure if ill drive or tow yet. will see what happens. if i tow it gives the advantage of having more space + if (when) someone breaks something/has a problem we could shuffle their car onto the trailer. something to think about i spose

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
