a potential official SAU event???

VIC-NSW-QLD

bringing the states together

this is the idea,

the drive to melb is about 8hours,

so people from syd drive 4 hours (with 2 hours then a break) and melb people drive 4 also.

and meet in the middle for a bbq or something.

it could be done the same for QLD

it would be the 1st time something like this would be done between state forum.

i think its a realistic idea, a sensible drive.

but obviously to hard to organise for a particular weekend everyone is available. so thats why i thought a set date would be good.

anyways lets hear opinions.

How about SAU'ers from each state travel to other states and battle it out at a nominated track! :P

then people would have to stay the night, and not many people would want to go.

this way you can leave depart at 8am drive get at destination at 12pm with break stop. and still be able to chill all day till like 4-5pm and get home round 8pm

If it's a cruise then yes, some mid-point would be ideal to get as many people coming. Still, Mid way between Syd and Brissy is still far. An overnight trip would be ideal because you don't want people doozing off at the wheel and 8 hours one way is boring.

To battle it out at a track you WILL have to stay overnight because you'll be so buggered after the day you'll want to sleep and you don't want to get out on the track half a sleep. A long weekend trip would be perfect for something like this. I'd like a track outing at other tracks in VIC and QLD for a change.

A few mates of mine have done Syd to Brissy and it's 14 hours one way.

Syd and Meb is like 9 hours one way. Possible meeting points are Albury, or exactly half way is Gundagai, but not much there.

These times are all based on sticking to the speed limit.

LOL! That would be prefect but then we'll be accused of being biased and lazy.

I think NSW and ACT should happen again. For those old enough to remember the days of SDU, it happened and NSW went to ACT then went out to Batemans Bay I think....

anyone who wants to meet more liners should come check out us country folk at the Laurel Hill Convertion centre, there is a thread about it in the national events section,(im sure someone will post a link) its open to anyone!!

    • 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!
