hey guys,

Im just saying hello and would like to introduce myself.

My name is ivan and i have just recently purchased the car i have been dreaming about since high school! My 1996 skyline r33 GTR V-spec. although only a few days old now, i think the car is absolutly fantastic and i think alot of people who think they r just jap crap dont no wot the r missing out on!

Ne way, ive wanted to join a car club, but i wanted it have people who would understand my car as well and help me with it. although i dont understand so well the technical side of cars, im slowly learning and begining to understand.

Hope we can one day all meet and exchange ideas/experiances.

reguards,

Ivan

Depends on where you guys live - bewst option is to look in your relevant state and keep an eye out for upcoming cruises etc.

i think the next major cruise is the Great Ocean Road cruise which i think is in feb next year....dont quote me on it...but early next year i beleive.

Just a note - the SAU Vic Great Ocean Road Cruise will be open to members ONLY.

Welcome aboard Ivan. Sounds like u are living the dream of half the people on here owning what sounds to be a schmik 33 GTR!! Congrats!

P.S. Man not that i really care (being in NSW) but whats is the deal with that last post regarding the Ocean Rd cruise being MEMBERS ONLY...... :D:)

I'm sorry but is that a kind of image you want to set for SAU.....start differentiating bewteen fello members....PFFT i say to that. It's a public road and we should embrace members as equals....who in gods name gives someone the right to determine who can & CANNOT participate in an event. Crusies are about fellow skyline owners getting together and enjoying the experience, NOT be- littling / excluding Non Members!!!!

Understandably Financial members can be looked upon differently when certain ' benefits' are available, but not for a goddamn F&*King cruise!!!!!

Im sorry but this is a joke!!!

Way to go to embrace the SAU 'Community' :)

Dezz mentioned earlier the Great Ocean Road Cruise to be held in Feb.

The above mentioned cruise is an official club cruise organised by SAU Vic Committee - and as such will be only open to financial members of Skylines Australia Victoria.

Plus, CAMS Insurance will only cover the club (public liability) if all drivers are members.

lol seems fair to me. drastically reduces the chances of dick heads tagging along and ruining the cruise by being absolute wankers, and showing us what their car can do, which is no more than the slowest of cars on the cruise can do anyway.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
