All 350z and 370z should be eligable as they are nissans with VQ engines :)

Is this a Skyline cruise for charity or a VQ cruise for charity?

There is a shot load of cars that qualify under the Nissan and VQ rule...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan engine

In the past it's always been about Skylines with a few exceptions to allow GTR (r35) and other Nissan with the RB engine or RB transplant, but allowing the VQ and Nissan could make this just a Nissan cruise for charity...

Can the exec please review the rules and maybe raise it at a meeting?

Where exactly is the difference? The RB rule allowed for a lot of modified Nissan's (RB Powered S chassis and Datsun's for example) as well as other models of Nissan (Laurel, Cefiro, Stagea) to attend. The current V36 Skyline uses a VQ engine, as does the current M35 Stagea, As do the A32 and A33 Cefiro's, the Y33 Leopard (and we've allowed the Y31 along for a few years...) and the J31 Teana (the new name for the Laurel) and so on. It seems odd that you were ok with these exceptions for older RB powered cars but not for newer cars that share the current Skyline powerplant. We either had to make a long ass list of cars that were allowed or make one small rule change to accommodate the changing face of Nissan. Yes this opens the cruise up to more cars, but do you really want to turn away people if they are willing to attend, be well behaved and donate to charity?

Or to flip it around, if the RB had been used in as many cars as the VQ currently is, would you have a problem with making exceptions for all of those cars as well?

Yep, this is Skylines Australia not commodore, zed, Silvia, Volo, prius Australia forum.. If I wanted to go on a cruise or be in a club with a billion different makes and models I would go to them clubs...

As an owner of a Stagea that turned up last year for the SCC I just want to chime in and say this was an excellent event for my introduction to the club.

If the rules were revised back to a more restricted list of Skylines only it would greatly reduce the number of people that turn up to help the charity organisations.

If someone wanted to come along in an ADM Infiniti G37, would you reject them?

Or an M35 Stagea?

Stop being a smartass Tony, i'm simply asking for the exce team to rethink the rules and putting my thoughts forward. My thought is to keep it Skylines only or as close to skyline blood only. We are not the only group that does charity cruises in QLD so why follow the sheep...

With other people chiming in about how nice it was to join maybe even remove the rules? i'm just putting my opinion forward like they are.

As i said above Can the exec please review the rules and maybe raise it at a meeting?

There is a meeting this Wednesday that anyone can attend and put forwards their suggestions, why don't you turn upto it and put this forward since you feel so strongly about it?

Mate, was just asking the same questions that were asked at the exec meeting where this was decided.

It was a much debated topic amongst the execs with the concesus being that we should open it up. This would allow Nissan's newer Skyline bretheren in without much fuss and by this I'm talking about the G37 and M35 which wouldn't otherwise fit in the 2/3 rule.

Being for charity, if we have a few extra cars join and help the cause, isn't that an overall win?

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
