Well i like this page very informative and if people have any sence will understand what happen on the SDU forum, and accept it. Being sister clubs (same as affiliated to) is a must in my books. There is so much to learn from each other. I think it would be good if that quote from razor was on the SDU forum somewhere for all to see, if it isn't already. We are well on the way to getting this thing going, but theres still alot to do. To do it right we have to be methodical and check all avenues. I think we should start updating the people on the SDU forum regularly so they can see where we are up to. From what i can tell its still atleast 2 months minimum from being finished.

Thank you to the nz crew for coming on here and telling us whats what and showing support, cheers fella's.

I had been visiting SDU since I had my turbo pulsar from about june/july last year. I did notice the diminishing state of the General Forum, but I rarely posted in there anyway so it wasn't something I missed (or complained about when it was removed).

I appreciate SDU and will remain to visit the site and forums. I owe a lot of knowledge to those forums (and a helluva lot of friendships). They have made me recognise the community which Skyline drivers have. I would never have waved at another SKyline driver if i had never been to the forums, now i almost fall out of the window trying to get their attention.

The Australian Skyline club is moving along slowly, but surely. There are a few people from each state who are working [u:a2f47a70c2]very[/u:a2f47a70c2] hard to get it up and running, with CAMS affiliation and sponsors etc, it will be a good day when we can finally say that the club has been formed.

Being a sister club with SDU is a fantastic idea and I can see no reason why this shouldn't occur, RazorGTR i think it was you that said you were coming to Sydney? I will be sure to show you how a NOZILR drives. :mrgreen: !! perhaps we can organise a track day when you are here to get all the Sydney and ACT 'lines together.

Anyway, I will and have been working hard at this and wont stop until everybody is happy with the results. Including SDU, it would be a shame to lose the relationship which I personally have aquired with SDU.

Ciao y'all!

Christian.

btw, URINE and IMABUM smell.

Actually that was Lee coming over, though one day I aim to make the treck over. I have come this far and always wanted to see Australia.

Cheers for the kind comments guys. Lets hope we all can work together and in the future provide a wealth of quality information that would even make the Japs take notice. I know there are tuners here and in Australia that know enough to make these cars sing. We just need to keep the crap out that way everyone wins in the end :(

Speed has a bit of a different angle on the whole car scene which I think is fresh and hip. They don't have [u:9a8aee0b54]just[/u:9a8aee0b54] cars. Yeah, their shots are good but I like the writing style. Kicks a***. Is the second issue out? If not, do you know when.

How would you get them on board ryan? Do you have contacts or something?

I've been off the net for a while and have only read parts of this thread so I'll start by saying sorry if this has all been said before. Here's my $0.02.

I think affiliated state chapters of a club called, for example:

Skylines Australia, NSW

Skylines Australia, WA

etc.

Then the stickers etc. can either say the state or not. One website with regional forums etc.

If we have a national club we are going to end up with regions/states anyway. I have no clue from a legal/requirements point of view which is better to set up. I would think it would have to be Incorporated in at least one state anyway.

The various Porsche clubs are a good example. They are separate entities which all communicate and get together for nationals etc.

Personally I have no problem with SDU as a name, although SAU is good as well.

Either way an open line of communication between us and the Kiwis would be a good thing to keep. Just because they shut down their forums (which they are entirley in their rights to do) doesn't mean we should sever the ties.

I have the odd bit of spare time available so I'm happy to help in setting up the NSW club.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
