Hi Everybody.

So I will be hiring out a workshop and 2 hoists for a large portion of the day - 6 Hours.

We will be incorporating this into a social get together and group meet, BBQ and Drinks,

basically put on a nice show for us.

The whole point of this event is to meet other enthusiasts, and have 2 Hoists for 6 Hours, to be able to get various

things done on our cars, from small things like general inspection, oil/fluid changes, boost controllers, intercooler upgrade, etc

to changing parts over while being to give each-other a hand. This is a great way to expand your knowledge and

repair your car or simply just meet and chat.

I will have Skyline R32, R33, R34 Skyline engine service documents on hand for quick reference.

Basic information :

- Location in Malaga starting around 9AM, will be on a Sunday.

- BBQ and Drinks will be available at $2.50/dog and $1.5/can

- 2 Hoists to share, floorspace available, 200pc toolkit, impact guns

- Photos/videos of cars.

To make this work we need participation and also help from other guys here as these things do cost money and time to organize, we would be sharing time on the hoist depending on job required, if you want to work on your car the prices will be :

- 4 People at $65 each for the day includes all tool hire, oil disposal

- 6 People at $45 each for the day inclues all tool hire, oil dispoal

I will be probably limiting the number of cars to work on to around 6 so we all get decent time and space but I may be flexible.

To come and meet and greet is free ofcourse.

Everybody is free to lend a hand to everybody.

In order to get numbers, please reply and mention whether you would be coming along for just meet and greet, or if you want to have your car in the shop, please mention too and the type of work required and also hoist use if required.

Thanks.

I have not set a date yet but it would be a good time in advance as we need to get interest first.

Oil change would be pretty straight forward so long as you know the correct quantity and type, I have a basic transfer/suction pump which is good for this.

Excellent I like cake, will really be nice to have desert so that is very awesome of you.

I am trying to make this a good value for money experience and because of that we do need members assistance as I can't do everything myself.

If anybody has some fold out chairs they can bring along it would help.

T_Revz when I confirm the date I will take into account people who are shift workers.

If you guys have friends with Skylines who are not here please get them on here

get the hype going and word out

Great work in organising an event! I'm very keen to join (depending on date) , not needing anything done on mine but more than happy to help on others (no idea re sequential tho)

I'll need a date to confirm as I'm a shift worker, and I'd only be a spectator or help others

Same as Trev, happy to come and talk shit as I have access to hoists and tools at work. But keen to meet some new peeps.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
