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.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Fourth gear grind

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
