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.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
