hey guys

i am a member of sdu and i have been for a while

i joined on the tail end of a good era when like mined people who loved their cars especialy skylines used to just meet up and hang out. we would help each other out through previous experiances.

then something happend. i am not sure exactly when or why but the club execs changed and so did the direction of the club. at this point there were over 200 members. 18 months later there is only 80 or so. it was attempted to run the club like a business and this is where i belive it failed. people lost the passion for the club. but you guys are right someone wanted to make this the best and biggest club in NZ and they failed.

i joined cause i liked the idea of a skyline community and i love tinkering with cars.

i personaly have joined another club not because of spite but because i wanted to expand my horizons and like i said i just love cars.

i can see why people tried to clean up the forums because they are the public face of SDU and that face was getting put through mud.

i personaly hope that the club can change back to its rots and be an enthusiasts club. this is hard because there is a lot of work that needs to be done and usualy it is volunteer work and nobody seems to want to do it.

i also hope that immature shit stirrers grow up and learn to respect other and their property.

And you are posting that here because??? :?

I'm assuming this is Bizkit, dude we have nothing against individual people at SDU but we Aussies feel a bit jipped that we had more forum members and still couldn't join the club.

I think you'll find just by looking at the size of the Aus Forum, we aren't all red-neck mullet wearing yobbos and we have valid information to give out. But we are also social people hence the reason, I think so anyway, why the "big split" happened.

You can keep your 'information source", if I need something I'll know where to look, but don't come here feeling sorry for SDU.

BUT if you are here to have fun be merry come on in!

hmmm don't know what to say. but seems like some ppl got greedy. so they took the general forum away. you can do that stuff here :)

i don't see the problem. there where rulez they weren't followed so they enforced them. u gotta live with the consequences of your actions.

i'm ready for u squizz blast away.

I don't feel jipped Squizz. Why would I want to join a club whose rules are not accepted in Aus. Unless all you wanted was to join so you can receive a T-shirt and a sticker.

Me, I want more out of a club. Like racetrack meets for eg. No way will CAMS let you set rubber on a track because you are a member of a club that's overseas. (at least I think not :? )

Oh and ummm, re-read Bizkit's post. I don't think he was sympathising, just stating the obvious.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
