SAU Community

Recommended Posts

Most of the issue is like most forums, they go dead because the masses made the leap over to facebook for all the trolling and bullshit.

Forums to most are a thing of the past.

Personally I love forums because of the useful information you have access to, but whats the point in forums nowadays when you can

jump on fb and ask the same question that's been asked a million times and get given an answer without actually searching for it.

^^ I agree. And the biggest issue with SAU forums is that EVERY reasonable question to be asked, has been asked and answered. As a library resource SAU is unbeatable, but as for day to day organising cruises/meets etc, then FB is far more useful and has considerably more reach.

The BIG problem with cruises, is that the person that organises the cruise is responsible for ALL the activities that happen on that cruise - even by randoms. The cops have come down very hard on cruises, hence why you rarely see them anymore.

^^^ that's true, although being part of the R31 club in recent years, they have continued to keep up a yearly cruise which has gone off without a hitch...
with everyone transitioning over to facebook all the baggage that used to jump in on cruises seems to have declined...

I think organising a cruise a few weeks to a month in advance on the forums would net a reasonable result. and personally I think smaller groups 10 - 20or so cars is a good number for cruises...

I myself would organise a cruise but I don't get out enough to know many good driving roads, aswell as being a fairly new member/poster around here, but definitely behind the SA Cruise movement I'm 100% behind it. C'mon SA Boys get on it!!!

cruses are a massive thing at the mkment, my FB is full of cruses constantly.

even if we had a meet up and chit chat somewhere nice and even just a short cruise to somewhere else nice on a sunday, nothing hugely fancy

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
