All 350z and 370z should be eligable as they are nissans with VQ engines :)

Is this a Skyline cruise for charity or a VQ cruise for charity?

There is a shot load of cars that qualify under the Nissan and VQ rule...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan engine

In the past it's always been about Skylines with a few exceptions to allow GTR (r35) and other Nissan with the RB engine or RB transplant, but allowing the VQ and Nissan could make this just a Nissan cruise for charity...

Can the exec please review the rules and maybe raise it at a meeting?

Where exactly is the difference? The RB rule allowed for a lot of modified Nissan's (RB Powered S chassis and Datsun's for example) as well as other models of Nissan (Laurel, Cefiro, Stagea) to attend. The current V36 Skyline uses a VQ engine, as does the current M35 Stagea, As do the A32 and A33 Cefiro's, the Y33 Leopard (and we've allowed the Y31 along for a few years...) and the J31 Teana (the new name for the Laurel) and so on. It seems odd that you were ok with these exceptions for older RB powered cars but not for newer cars that share the current Skyline powerplant. We either had to make a long ass list of cars that were allowed or make one small rule change to accommodate the changing face of Nissan. Yes this opens the cruise up to more cars, but do you really want to turn away people if they are willing to attend, be well behaved and donate to charity?

Or to flip it around, if the RB had been used in as many cars as the VQ currently is, would you have a problem with making exceptions for all of those cars as well?

Yep, this is Skylines Australia not commodore, zed, Silvia, Volo, prius Australia forum.. If I wanted to go on a cruise or be in a club with a billion different makes and models I would go to them clubs...

As an owner of a Stagea that turned up last year for the SCC I just want to chime in and say this was an excellent event for my introduction to the club.

If the rules were revised back to a more restricted list of Skylines only it would greatly reduce the number of people that turn up to help the charity organisations.

If someone wanted to come along in an ADM Infiniti G37, would you reject them?

Or an M35 Stagea?

Stop being a smartass Tony, i'm simply asking for the exce team to rethink the rules and putting my thoughts forward. My thought is to keep it Skylines only or as close to skyline blood only. We are not the only group that does charity cruises in QLD so why follow the sheep...

With other people chiming in about how nice it was to join maybe even remove the rules? i'm just putting my opinion forward like they are.

As i said above Can the exec please review the rules and maybe raise it at a meeting?

There is a meeting this Wednesday that anyone can attend and put forwards their suggestions, why don't you turn upto it and put this forward since you feel so strongly about it?

Mate, was just asking the same questions that were asked at the exec meeting where this was decided.

It was a much debated topic amongst the execs with the concesus being that we should open it up. This would allow Nissan's newer Skyline bretheren in without much fuss and by this I'm talking about the G37 and M35 which wouldn't otherwise fit in the 2/3 rule.

Being for charity, if we have a few extra cars join and help the cause, isn't that an overall win?

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
