And look, the boot... even my 12" sub is coming with me.. Plenty of room still back there to stuff my clothes and things in. Its amazing what you can fit in a 33!!

Anyhow, I may as well use this thread to wish everybody a final goodbye to VIC SAU. The last year or so I've owned my 33, and over that time each of the events I've attended has been great. Its what owning a skyline is all about. I've got to make some good friends, and learned so so much about skylines and turbos in general. You're all legends! Hope to catch up if I'm in Melb, or if you're up at the GC or Brissie..i'll be glad to show you around.

Best of luck organiser people for the official SAU club in future (you know who you are!). Anybody else who has a keen drive, I urge you to come along to as many meets as you can and put your name forward if you want to help the future running of the club. Just about everybody i have met in SAU has been a top bloke - and that what makes SAU so great!

And for those "lurkers" who frequent this forum (i know you're there) :), don't be shy, post a thread, post a reply, come along to an event, don't be scared! We don't bite! It takes a going to a few events to get to know everybody, but the results are well worth it. We've all been the noobs at some stage. Its true there hasn't been a whole lot of official events going on recently, but each one that has occurred and I have attended, they have been awesome. This will hopefully change over the summer, and more and more will be happening, so keep an eye up and sign up ! (should be just a few weeks away now!)

So well, guess its time to finally turn this ol' computer thingo off and get her into the 33.. and tomorrow I hit the road! and for Noof: ROCK!!

:headspin:

p.s. Smooth and Kamikazee, see you guys sometime soon!

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
