The old WA chapter seems to be getting some wind in the sails again.

Please vote in the poll and ask any questions u may have.

I'll answer them the best i can and please no whoring.

ps: to be feasable we would need 30+ paying members in the first year. This cost would be about $85 per person in the first year and $35 after that.

For 50+ paying members in the first year. This cost would be about $70 per person in the first year and $25 after that.

anything less than 30 paying members isn't financially feasable or worth the time and effort.

Well i think Skyzer 1st of all said something about members pack being a shirt, cap and sticker? could be wrong but i thought i read that... is that right?

Well if so then thats worth a bit already and the SAU sticker remember lads always adds and extra 5 rear wheel horsepower.

In theory we get more then 30 ppl on some of our cruises so i reckon we will make it. Do we need to register and get an ABN and do all that kinda crap? i havent been keeping up to date with the goinings on over east. Will we need insurance for the club? whos gonna do all this, oh dont get me wrong im glad to help where i can, maybe we should start appointing reps for SAUWAC (skylines australia west aussie chapter) :)

I think some discounts apply to insurance and that and some workshops or performance stores may be willing to do the same. Plus it means if u guys are paying u may wanna actually turn up to track days etc so they should be cheaper too

Would you HAVE to own a Skyline to join the club, or will other import cars be accepted ?

Just thought I'd ask since there are a few people on the boards who don't actually own a Skyline, but enjoy the chats and would probably also join the club.

I know that this would detract from it being a Skylines WA club, but it may help increase the member numbers.

Yeh too true :P IMHO we should have 'lines only for club represetation eg. MC team must be purely 'lines unless ppl want a B team. As u said there are alot of us including myself who would join but dont nessacarrily have a 'line. Never know i may have 1 soon :D

Yeah, that's fair enough - for events it should be 'lines only.

For all the other stuff (cruises, bbq's, booze-ups) everyone should be allowed to join in.

Since I haven't got a 'line yet either... Go the B Team !!! :uh-huh:

I don't think we should limit it to just Skylines, any Jap import or other car enthusiast should be welcome, unless they drive an Excel or Lancer, haha.

In competitions and Auto salons then only those cars that would respresent the club well should be allowed in, we want a performance based club, not another ricer.

See'ya:burnout:

i'll check into it admin can do it but mods can't. as far as i'm aware.

initial joining fee pays for the administration and setting up of an incorperated club.

Yes this means a business name and ABN. Yes we need public liability insurance, but this is provided by CAMS to all CAMS affiliated car clubs, its cheaper to get the insurance this way than through a broker or insurance company plus u get the bonous associated with being CAMS affiliated.

CAMS affiliation gives the club the ability to provide CAMS licenses, CAMS training for people who wish to become motorsport officals, 20-200 million Public Liability cover. We can hold our motorsport events, CAMS affiliated clubs also get discounts at some insurance providers and car part shops.

Also when u join we would provide a club t-shirt, cap, sticker and membership card (these things would need to be worked out).

Being recogonised as an incorperated club would allow us to approach companies to get club member discounts for mods and rice, for insurance etc. We could enter events as one club.

Yes you could join if you didn't own a skyline, as in the constatution thats in use by NSW and VIC (which we would adopt) its a skyline enthusiats club and all imports are welcome.

At events like a MC event the No:1 team would need to be all skylines any other teams any member and there vehicle can take a spot. At car shows all members would be welcome, might have main display with skylines and others surrounding etc.

When i remember the other stuff i'll post it.

Skyzerr,

I think that a performance based club, with a similar vane to the WA Sporting Car Club, except primarily for Import Vehicles. I think that there are many area in which we could see ourselves entering, including Auto-salons, dyno-shootouts, drags, Motorkhana's etc, which would make us unique in WA. There is some room for a bit of rice, but a club based on hard street-driven import vehicles is my idea.

Please feel free to suggest other approaches.

if only skylines are allowed to participate in the team 'games' (which of course is justifiable since it's a Skylines Club lol), then I can't see any point in non-skylines being associate members and paying the full whack

the memebrs pack I don't exactly need haha, no offence, but if there were to be discounts as part of being a member (and some form of proof to show the shop you are a member) then that'd be the only benefit us non-skylines have

but then again I understand it's a skylines club and I'm don't own a skyline, so I didn't vote on this one

personal feeling: the club is great the way it is :)

nothing too heavy, nothing too complicated

I just thought by the title that that's what the idea was intending to do

and with the nonskylines

I kinda stopped reading after boostzor said "IMHO we should have 'lines only for club represetation eg. MC team must be purely 'lines unless ppl want a B team."

:)

next time I'll be patient and read the whole thread to save face :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
