Farewell.......well For A Year Anyway!


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Just wanted to write a quick thread to say goodbye to those I missed at the last meet. Over the last couple of years I have been lucky enough to get suitable work in my industry here in Melbourne, but as of next week I'm relocating with my family to Perth for around a year.

About 5 years ago I imported my skyline, and being extremely passionate about owning it as well as wanting to meet like minded people, I joined SAU. Since being a member when SAU Vic was properly setup over a year ago, I have met a great bunch of people who are not only passionate about their cars but reject the 'usual' sterotype that other clubs tend to attract. Knowing that this club is based on such a great group of people I'm sure the following year will see it grow even more and I look forward to seeing some new faces on the vic tracks in '07 ;)

I will try an hop on the forums as much as I can while away to catch up with everyone but without knowing how Perth will be setup, I’m not sure how often that will be. So until Natalie, Zack and myself see you again in '07 I'd like to thank you all for your friendships and I'll look forward to returning to the Vic tracks after gaining some experience in WA (all I'll be thinking in Perth "...gotta get back to the island.....gotta get back to the island..." :blink:

Take care,

-Ant

Best of luck over there mate. We are looking at Perth next year for a long weekend so will look you guys up. Big shock you are going mate but keep in touch and will definately see you over the next year at some point. ;)

Good luck over in Perth Ant.

Don't stay in the sun too long and watch out for dem crazy WA Sandgropers. I hear they bite!!

Keep in touch. Hey!! Post up a journal when you can. It'd be great to see some photos of you terrorising Perth! :huh:

Thanks for all your wishs guys & gals.

Nark....Will def catch up when back in Melb but until then enjoy married/engaged life and look after Josie :mrt:

West...enjoy the tracks in '06 and hopefully I'll be a little faster when I come back as I'm looking at doing some track time in WA :huh:

Saff.....Looks like we might have a spare room in Perth depending on the exact acomm arrangements so let us know when you are thinking of heading over!

Dezz....hehehe that would be pretty cool and yes I might as well get the WA tag......never know in a few years I might have the whole set :(

Matt...thanks mate - keep tracking the R34 and look forward to seeing it in a year or so with even more mods!

Saff.....Looks like we might have a spare room in Perth depending on the exact acomm arrangements so let us know when you are thinking of heading over!

Thanks mate. Looking to use up lots of frequent flyers next year so Perth is on the cards. Gold Coast in Feb and UK in May so most likely later in the year around Sept time I would have thought.

Thanks for the offer and all the best to all 3 of you B)

Greg...thanks mate and say goodbye to your old man for me.

Bec...Thanks heaps for making my dinner last night and I feel very special considering u missed drinks for me :huh: A big cheers to Al for organizing on very short notice - with those skills he should be the social coord for SAU!!

Leewah....Cheers mate. Actually I'm more concerned about Blaize moving back to Perth and leading me astray than the Sandgropers biting!!! Its all good and maybe we can start a WA team wang group while we are there. I'll be sure to post the pics of any damage we cause to Perth :(

Ant - Best of luck champ. Best wishes to Nat and Zack too.

Don't get settled over there, as I'm gonna need someone to run door handles with :)

Keep the car off the walls and the Family safe.

Cheers

Scott

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
