I only joined SAU a couple of months ago :( when i had just bought my Skyline, but i had surfed it before that and knew it was top stuff.

Only after a few days i realised how awesome this network of enthusiasts is. I have learnt enough in this time to converse with Skyline owners of 5 years! And the majority of dudes & gals on here actually give a stuff about basic questions and are relatively patient with n00bs.

I have been on a couple of cruises organised on these forums and have really become an 'active' member of the import scene, as far as possible in such a short time period anyhow.

I want to thank all the guys who initiated Skylines Australia :D and to all its contributors who have literally turned a bunch of forum postings into a massive, organic, evolving body of knowledge.

I have been able to look after my car without needing to rely on busy mechanics, which means i save $$$ and i get a variety of opinions on here. A mechanic only gives you his opinion, and it usually involves giving him more money.

On SAU members comments are posted purely to help each other and share our experiences.

With some editing, SAU could definitely become an authentic worldwide authority on owning a Skyline (even performance cars in general) and should be published in a variety of forms to maintain its longevity- it shouldn't become marketed and commodified (it would lose its user-contributor freedom) but could be made into a hard copy of five years of the developing import scene in Oz, and subscribers would be the first in line to benefit from this.

I hope to get my kids into SAU. Keep it going strong! :)

and let me tell you a little story of how friendly the community was back then. you went and met a guy over the internet who took you for a spin in his car. along the way a skyline drives next to you. you look at each other and pull up at the next car park to talk for an hour. skylines were rare, expensive and importing one was f'ing hard but finding a friend was easy.

sidewaysmambo and i drive along brighton and meet ceral_jacques

Nice :)

Look at the community we now have :D

Been on the forum for a little while and never read this but...

much much bigger now... well done guys :(.. these forums are full of good information and great people to answer questions that we are troubled about..

And then I changed my name to DR GTR after owning a R33 GTR. Had the TeamWestside club as you can see from the pics. We had cruises and meetups every weekend for about two years. Best times.

Oh boy. Times have changed though. I wish the new guys here got to experience those golden years we had.

Remember Gang wars too? Thats was awesome. Took us through many work hours.

NorthSide and Westside hand gang signs. haha.

Thanks to all the OG's and thanks to SAU.

Btw that group pic you see was one of our hangouts at Cabramatta. Thats only half of the group. The other shy half didnt want to take pics. That was a great night. After that we went to Eastern Creek Go Carts.

We had regulars like Andrew(Merli) and Tosh and Nick(Blitz) and many others come from the northside.

When we were younger and had times on our hands and when the law didnt clamp down too hard on our cars.

There were even a few rough non skyline owners in that crew too Minh, but some of us converted over after seeing the light... or at least 32's in pieces for the better part of a year!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
