Does SAU VIC ever have DIY days? Haven't seen any posted recently, I know in other car clubs they tend to do them more regularly.

Define "DIY Days", do you mean getting together and having a few tutorials on how to do certain tasks with cars? Oil / Plug / Filter Change, how to test if your bushes are worn and may need replacement, general car maintenance checklists etc?

More everyone working on their cars for the day.

Not sure if it's as common for Skylines (probably because there are less issues haha), but with the FTO club we use to do them every few months where we worked on our cars with basic maintenance, upgrading parts, helping others fix their cars etc.

lol

the Mrs golf, within 18 months of a brand new car.

- DSG shudders and clunks under acceleration

- car rolls back if started on incline - if incline steep enough, car unable to move

- VW recall - without car for 2 weeks - issues half fixed, car still rolls but doesn't get stuck and now shudders on decel instead

- Started running on 3 cyl due to ignition lead placed within 2 cm of turbo hotside - common fault, clearly "planned obsolescence"

- car sounds like oil is empty when in low revs.... not confidence inspiring

Sounds about right.. Horrible cars all round

Makes me sad had considered an r8 in the future not so likely now

I do this every few months, have 2-3 blokes around and we all work on our cars and have a bbq :) Lots of swearing and knuckle scraping fun :)

I could potentially see problems doing this with SAUVIC in an official capacity, insurance issues if we're doing it at a workshop etc :/

I'll put the call out for wastelanders next time I'm going to have a car weekend though :D

Ironic numberplates on a car for sale where scams are common?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
