As there is a list of states in the Forum index

New South Wales

Victoria

Western Australia

Queensland

Nothern Territory

South Australia

Australia Capital Territory

Tasmania

Then under each of those states, there is currently a sub-forum called 'Events'.

Another suggested Sub-Forum that could be added is - Your Skyline Project

This allowing each member from each state to post the details of their car in this sub-forum and detailing what they are doing to their skyline as they go along with upgrading bits and pieces of it.

e.g. -

Their first post would be a complete description/specification list of what is currently in their skyline.

Then the second post would be "I've now upgraded my turbo from the old one to this new one, blahh blahh blahh"

and they can just keep adding to the list.

As well as progressing with upgrading their thread, they can also add pics incase their body kits change or interior changes, etc etc.

This, however is just an idea to get more people into posting more details about their skylines on here.

each state's layout is controlled by the individual state club, so the structure of the WA section has a for sale subsection for perthies only, and the VIC section has a downloads section for our newsletters and publications etc. If you want to add a buildup subsection in the states you have to lobby all the state clubs to implement it, its not something we (admins) would want to just impose on all the states.

Ahh, sounds fair then. It was just a suggestion that I thought I would put forward as it would then allow people to become a bit more interactive with the site as keeping their skyline profile up to date is somewhat a enjoyable thing to some.

After all, on boostcruising, people are constantly posting new pics of their cars after they wash them

:P

lol yeah true, would be good to see what everyone's up to, which is why the SAU member blog was implemented, but on a forum wide scale instead of state by state. Hopefully its able to be put to good use by the members, and we can develop it better.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
