Hi guys, I'm looking to join a skyline club. I've had my Black R33 skyline for other 12 months now and i always see a lot of skyline's coming into Shepparton, like the weekend just gone.

I'm totally new to car events and computer nerd by trade and could do with a friendly club to help learn ropes and more about my car.

The skyline nats are this weekend With any luck I’ll get myself entered, I think i spoke to someone a while ago at a bbq that was down at local park here in Shepparton, would be nice to join up and maybe meet some people over the weekend.

Hey David,

I think you may have spoken to me at the BBQ, in the park. If i remember correctly it was a FEW months ago (if not last year) and probably on the Sunday morning/lunch time. If that is the case, you took your time joining :).

Well hope to see ya around and participating at our events. Would be good to have a local guide us round the town's hot spots, after Taco Bells, on the Saturday night. ;)

Sweet thanks, will pm you soon.

Ok I will be posting this else where for everyone.

I work for local newspaper here in shep and Country new Auto is like a sub publication we do. I'm wanting to ask any members if they would be willing to come out to newspaper on Friday some time and get there picture taken with there car's and even perhaps answer a few questions for an article about the event. I will also be taking photos over the weekend for a spread that may run in following week’s paper. Might be a good bit of promotion for the club.

Thanks again.

'Cars Weekly' by any chance?

No Country News, There part of like a rival rag. where much bigger than that. Country news isn't just Shepparton, it's sent to benalla,seymour,echuca,cobram and many more.

Anyone know if Cars Weekly are doing anything?, they sometimes have good looking chick model with some of there cars.

Anyone know of any of Shepparton members? i see other skylines here but don't know there drivers.

'patche' was a member, but he's only here to sell his car I believe. (wants $10k!). "ITURNER" aka Dave was here, but he since sold his nice looking 33 and only has his 34 left. Which is also for sale. The only other member I can think of is NUTR33, but to be honest I am not sure if he is even still around in Shepparton.

As far as I am aware there aren't any (that I have seen) SAU Skyline owners in Shepparton. Members that is.

    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
    • That is a dead f**king short of B+ to ground. Scary.
    • 10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
