Hello Everyone....

After a bit of talking in the SAU NEWCASTLE thread we have decided to have a meet and greet, and maybe go for a quick cruise somewhere if people are interested on the day etc.

Date / Time:

Sunday 8th July 2012 / 12.00 Noon

Location:

Mattara

333 Charlestown Road

Charlestown NSW

meetup in the large carpark behind the pub off Tallarra Street.. low car friendly carpark and plenty of room!

http://www.mattara.com.au/

Plan:

basically turn up, meet/talk and look at each others cars, then head into the pub overlooking the carpark i believe and have a beer and some food if you want, if not can head off from there. After a drink or two and a feed, we may decide to go for a quick cruise around somewhere, if it happens and were we go can be decided on the day pending interest. We hope the location suits, we tried to cater for as many as possible deciding on a pretty central location.

This is not for just SAU members or skyline owners, anyone is more than welcome to come in any car they want, Just please dont turn up and act like a tosser (we all know the rules im sure).

Also if any Sydney people are keen for the drive, also very welcome!

Any questions, post up here and im sure we can sort them out.

Hope to see you all there.

This is not an official SAU-NSW cruise, but regardless, on this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.There will be

NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

Cheers,

Anthony

Hey Jarrad & Anthony - it was good to meet you two last week.

I'm heading to Perth that arvo, but i should be able to drop in for an hour or so before i head off.

Good to meet you to mate, hopefully you have time to drop in and catchup again.

This is true... I will make an attempt to get up there :)

Yea mate, we will most likely be around there till about 2pm or something.. no rush really.

Ooh you made the thread :D I'll be there guys!!

Nice one mate, fingers crossed your car will be there to!

Really looking forward to this, BEST thing is there is a very good chance the car will be with me as it is half tuned and running well so far!

JEM had someone do the screamer etc, so i am not sure mate.... The 3" Exhaust is just going back on for now as it is quiet.... Its causing lag and also probably issues with power BUT its quiet so itll have to do for now!

Only problem is having 2 tunes....

On the cruise thing, I have 3 mates coming too... Probably only one of them will bring their cars as one is probably written off due to a loser and the other.... Well it's probably not smart to have on the street lol

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
