Hi everyone, i was just wondering how many vic members are part of the club that dont own skylines just because i own an mr2. Im a member of other clubs but want to join a club that welcomes other cars other than mr2's. The reason for my question is because myself and a group of mates with different makes of cars were interested in joining a club.

That is the current system, so you are stuck with a non turbo :glare:

ok thanks, like i thought. Looks like im gonna have to make do with the 4age for the next 4 years or so. Really unfortunate though, a stupid system for a stupid public who believes in it. :laugh: All the system changes is what cars people drive rather than the peoples mentality regarding unsafe driving. :mad:

So true, 100kph into a tree in a Skyline, WRX, Camry or Falcon is going to end up the same way.

The change of laws was the number 1 reason why I'm now driving a corolla. I hate the laws just as much if not more than you do.

I want to join SAUvic, but not sure what I can get out of it owning a Toyota. I'll go on a cruise and probably get left behind with my HUGE 1.3ltr.

At last count, about 40% of our members own something other than a skyline. This includes many 180sx's, S15s, S14s, WRXs, EVOs, Datsuns, various Mazda's, Holden's, a couple of BMWs and about 10 Toyota's :ermm:

Adam/Rob - Alot of our events don't require a fast car/skyline anyway. You can always spectate, help out or jump in someone else's car for a cruise.. plenty of people do that already.

Grape grazing in Feb is a good example.. obviously you wouldn't want to be driving home, so there's an SAU bus :)

I reckon the chances of getting caught for driving r32 during the sau cruises is pretty slim.

If i was a cop and saw a horde of skyline cruisers, id go after all the 300kw+ skylines :ermm:

Yep as others have said, definately don't need a skyline. This club is more about enjoying the car you have safely and in the right environment regardless of marque.

Unless you plan on battling for the top 3 at events, you also don't need a fast car. Cruises with SAU VIC are just that, not a high speed run. Sometimes a twisty route is taken before getting some lunch and heading back. As an example, the weekend before last, a few of us did around the bay and having a few hundred kw or one hundred made no difference.

A number of social events take place outside of cars such as karting, pub meets etc so no need for a skyline or a fast car.

I was the first intruder into the club that didn't own a skyline or any other Nissan badged car when I first paid up. Don't worry about it too much, as long as you have an appreciation of the cars, then you'll be fine.

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
