Yeah in the end cruises go no where, competition is where it is. Does SAU WA have what it takes to become a competing club? Except for the people that already do, id hope so. Myself however im not skilled enough to be a passable circuit racer. An import drag racing scene is something i would like to help establish, but it needs to be a national thing, or ANDRA

We already have meets, group buys, get good prices from dealers that post here etc etc, how is paying money into a group going to make this better. I dont think lining the pockets of insurance companies and auditors is worth it just so we can say "oh look we are an offical club"

this is the major hurdle that has stopped us everytime

people see these deals find there cheap supplier and are quite happy turning up for the odd cruise all for free.

there are pros and cons for both sides its up to us as a whole to decide if its worth the time to set up and what direction we want for a club. Will it be broad ranged so ricers and racers can commune together or will one faction be seen as an outcast etc.

with the cams affiliation u need to be an incorperated body or they want look at u. also your constitution has to be accepted by cams.

cams allows u to run your own events eg we could have a SAU hillclimb or motorkhana.

we can issue level 2 licences and also help people train to become accreditted motorsport officals. CAMS covers most of our motorsport needs and can help on the social side as being CAMS affiliated provided either 20million or 200million PLI as part of the deal for cruise or club events what ever they may be.

u don't have to do it every other weekend

the nissan car club mainly 4wd ie patrol oriented has one motorkhana a year and afew offroad rallys and thats it.

anyways i seem to have chucked the info out.

CAMS and the Ministry of Fair Trading send out info packs filled with all the info you need.

yeah the DOCEP one was the pack i had b4

they send out all the forms, a skeleton constitution etc

then with the cams affiliation pack u get another example constitution and u just take the best bits of both like NSW did and your most of the way there with the paper work.

Hi peeps,

just thought I'd throw in my $0.02.

I was part of the team that set up the NSW club. We decided early on that what we wanted was a fully fledged club that included social, competition, non-competition, training, etc., events.

To do any of these you need insurance and CAMS is very cost effective insurance. For the competition events you also need licenses, so CAMS once again was necessary. There is also the benefit of having your PLI for club meetings (i.e. monthly meetings, social nights etc.) included in the annual fee (no extra cost).

As it stands today cruises, or any time the club organises a drive, require PLI. Seems crazy I know but we live in strange times. CAMS is seeking clarification on this with their insurers, but don't hold your breath.

Now to get CAMS affiliation you need to jump through a few hoops. Getting approval from Nissan Oz to use the Skyline name is one thing, writing the Club Rules and Constitution is another.

Look through some other clubs' rules and pick out what you want. CAMS supply a basic framework which I built on for the NSW Rules. Cut and paste ours if you like. Just make sure they suit YOU is the main thing.

Good Luck and see you at the Skyline Nationals in 200X. :(

    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
