Yeah in the end cruises go no where, competition is where it is. Does SAU WA have what it takes to become a competing club? Except for the people that already do, id hope so. Myself however im not skilled enough to be a passable circuit racer. An import drag racing scene is something i would like to help establish, but it needs to be a national thing, or ANDRA

We already have meets, group buys, get good prices from dealers that post here etc etc, how is paying money into a group going to make this better. I dont think lining the pockets of insurance companies and auditors is worth it just so we can say "oh look we are an offical club"

this is the major hurdle that has stopped us everytime

people see these deals find there cheap supplier and are quite happy turning up for the odd cruise all for free.

there are pros and cons for both sides its up to us as a whole to decide if its worth the time to set up and what direction we want for a club. Will it be broad ranged so ricers and racers can commune together or will one faction be seen as an outcast etc.

with the cams affiliation u need to be an incorperated body or they want look at u. also your constitution has to be accepted by cams.

cams allows u to run your own events eg we could have a SAU hillclimb or motorkhana.

we can issue level 2 licences and also help people train to become accreditted motorsport officals. CAMS covers most of our motorsport needs and can help on the social side as being CAMS affiliated provided either 20million or 200million PLI as part of the deal for cruise or club events what ever they may be.

u don't have to do it every other weekend

the nissan car club mainly 4wd ie patrol oriented has one motorkhana a year and afew offroad rallys and thats it.

anyways i seem to have chucked the info out.

CAMS and the Ministry of Fair Trading send out info packs filled with all the info you need.

yeah the DOCEP one was the pack i had b4

they send out all the forms, a skeleton constitution etc

then with the cams affiliation pack u get another example constitution and u just take the best bits of both like NSW did and your most of the way there with the paper work.

Hi peeps,

just thought I'd throw in my $0.02.

I was part of the team that set up the NSW club. We decided early on that what we wanted was a fully fledged club that included social, competition, non-competition, training, etc., events.

To do any of these you need insurance and CAMS is very cost effective insurance. For the competition events you also need licenses, so CAMS once again was necessary. There is also the benefit of having your PLI for club meetings (i.e. monthly meetings, social nights etc.) included in the annual fee (no extra cost).

As it stands today cruises, or any time the club organises a drive, require PLI. Seems crazy I know but we live in strange times. CAMS is seeking clarification on this with their insurers, but don't hold your breath.

Now to get CAMS affiliation you need to jump through a few hoops. Getting approval from Nissan Oz to use the Skyline name is one thing, writing the Club Rules and Constitution is another.

Look through some other clubs' rules and pick out what you want. CAMS supply a basic framework which I built on for the NSW Rules. Cut and paste ours if you like. Just make sure they suit YOU is the main thing.

Good Luck and see you at the Skyline Nationals in 200X. :(

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
