This thread probably should be more about people's general thoughts and things rather than any specific organisation though.

Any further suggestions ppl want to put forward??

$30 seems a good figure? that extra $10 multiplied by say 50 members is an extra $500 for the initital formation.

I'd definitely pay $30 for an initial club membership....

Id like an official sau wet t shirt contest :thumbsup:

No seriously....I think there should be 2 basic membership structures- a social one which entitles you to ricey stickers and the priviledge of coming to meets/cruises, and an track membership which has the full on CAMS stuff....right now Id be up for just a social membership, but when I get a track worthy car at the end of the year Ill be up for the track membership

everyones say counts it doesnt matter if ur new or not... the thoughts of those that are just coming here are probably just as, if not more important than the regulars.

welcome.

i will gegt full but i dstill think we need a social membership for the 'post whores' who dont ownsick cars (ie. darky) dso then they can come bowling etc bnut i think the social side of things should be handled by the general people and not the 'admins' dso to speak

I vote for the full membership with the CAMS affiliation etc. The rtack day is a great option to have even if we only do it a couple of times a year. I like the idea of BBQs etc. after a cruise so as we can all get together and chat and get to know each other. I'm also willing to help out where ever possible.

I like the idea of both social and full.

Have the 2 options gives people the choice of wether or not they want to go out and do stuff, of use the club as a source of information for everything skyline related.

I started off coming here to find out more about skylines, but after a while i went on cruises and put faces to names.

Basically, I enjoy the cruises and attend when I can... the forums are excellent and I've been dieing for a track day!

I understand that there will be people that aren't in the same position as me, but CAMS affiliation would be great (though I understand costly).

I've never really givin it any thought until now... but this something that really needs looked into!

Although selling my skyline and buy a Civic with NEONS does sound appealing...

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
