Really sad news to hear!! 

I’ve scheduled a post on our SAU FB and Insta for later this morning, which I hope will do him justice!! I tried fitting in some quotes from you all into the post, but stupid FB and Insta have a character limit… 

Neil meant a great deal to many people… I remember emailing with him early in my tenure in the committee to get him his (at the time) new Life Member card… he was pretty chuffed - I could tell he loved SAU and it would be from the memories made with all of you… 

Rest in Peace Neil!! You’ll be dearly missed!!

This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.

 Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.

 He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.

 Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

Damn...

My only interaction with Neil was my shitbox spraying petrol all over him during an SMSP East track day (I was in front of his Radical during an out lap, with a full tank, petrol was spraying out of the overflow valve). He was super chill about it. But that left a lasting impression on me.

Rest in peace mate.

Hey guys
I don't visit the forums anymore so not even sure how I found this thread but here it is, what a shock. 
I'm so glad Neil and Mel got out of Sydney and had some relaxing fun time before this happened. 
Neil is a great bloke and will be sadly missed.

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.
