hey s13drifter,

Still a bit of work to do to get SAU up and running....looking at next month probably.

As for an ACT chapter...well this was discussed...and it's not totally out of the question. What we're doing (for now) is combining NSW/ACT.

We'll see how many ACT ppl actually become official members of the club. If we get the numbers...we can maybe look at forming our own chapter.

We would need several ppl serious about forming a committee....a President, two Vice Presidents, a treasurer & a secretary at the minimum. These ppl would need to be dedicated and available to help & put a bit of work in :cheers:

So, for now we will join up with the NSW guys and organise our own events and stuff in the ACT. If any of you guys have any ideas or want to organise stuff here...then go for it! Just cos we're part of the NSW chapter doesn't mean we have to wait for NSW to have a dyno day or whatever.

How many of us do we need to form our own chapter

Was looked at several years ago but fell down in a few areas

1. NSW president at the time did not want it, told us to go ahead and form our own club.

2. There was little interest in forming a separate formal club and doing the required paperwork each year etc.

Considering most tracks are in NSW and the NSW club currently do a good job ofrunning track days etc, there's little reason to form a club to run these events.

If you want to have a cruise, just post it up, you don't need to be part of a club

We already have meets on Fridays, though somewhere warm and with food would be good.

ACT has a banner and a shade tent for car shows already, participation has been a bit low recently. Those organising such events in Canberra have tended to doit once and never do it again, considering the non-constructive feedback from some people who don't even turn up, I don't blame them.

However considering the importance of the territory and growing numbers of skyline owners, I'd like to see a chapter, formal or informal. Considering the growing power of SAU having a presence in the territory where the high level decisions are made could be beneficial if SAU look at taking a proactive long term approach to improving issues for skylines. In the short term maybe meet up at a club a couple times a year to discuss and pass feedback through someone like Shell who can then take it to the NSW meetings.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
