hey guys

i am a member of sdu and i have been for a while

i joined on the tail end of a good era when like mined people who loved their cars especialy skylines used to just meet up and hang out. we would help each other out through previous experiances.

then something happend. i am not sure exactly when or why but the club execs changed and so did the direction of the club. at this point there were over 200 members. 18 months later there is only 80 or so. it was attempted to run the club like a business and this is where i belive it failed. people lost the passion for the club. but you guys are right someone wanted to make this the best and biggest club in NZ and they failed.

i joined cause i liked the idea of a skyline community and i love tinkering with cars.

i personaly have joined another club not because of spite but because i wanted to expand my horizons and like i said i just love cars.

i can see why people tried to clean up the forums because they are the public face of SDU and that face was getting put through mud.

i personaly hope that the club can change back to its rots and be an enthusiasts club. this is hard because there is a lot of work that needs to be done and usualy it is volunteer work and nobody seems to want to do it.

i also hope that immature shit stirrers grow up and learn to respect other and their property.

And you are posting that here because??? :?

I'm assuming this is Bizkit, dude we have nothing against individual people at SDU but we Aussies feel a bit jipped that we had more forum members and still couldn't join the club.

I think you'll find just by looking at the size of the Aus Forum, we aren't all red-neck mullet wearing yobbos and we have valid information to give out. But we are also social people hence the reason, I think so anyway, why the "big split" happened.

You can keep your 'information source", if I need something I'll know where to look, but don't come here feeling sorry for SDU.

BUT if you are here to have fun be merry come on in!

hmmm don't know what to say. but seems like some ppl got greedy. so they took the general forum away. you can do that stuff here :)

i don't see the problem. there where rulez they weren't followed so they enforced them. u gotta live with the consequences of your actions.

i'm ready for u squizz blast away.

I don't feel jipped Squizz. Why would I want to join a club whose rules are not accepted in Aus. Unless all you wanted was to join so you can receive a T-shirt and a sticker.

Me, I want more out of a club. Like racetrack meets for eg. No way will CAMS let you set rubber on a track because you are a member of a club that's overseas. (at least I think not :? )

Oh and ummm, re-read Bizkit's post. I don't think he was sympathising, just stating the obvious.

    • I will check this as well, and get back to you.
    • IACV, (Intake Air Control Valve)?? Sorry, what is a BOV?  and I believe it is a stock ECU/MAF.  So, by removing it, just unplug it or take it out completely?
    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.
