The 2013/14 SAU QLD Annual General Meeting and Committee Election will be held on Tuesday, the 27th of August. We will be arriving at 6:30pm and the formalities will begin at 7pm sharp. At this meeting we will be discussing the changes that have happened over the last 6 months as well as looking at what is planned for the future. All current Committee members will step down on 27/08/2013. You can not nominate yourself, a peer will nominate you and another will second the motion. All Committee positions are up for voting and nomination. However it will only be the Executive Committee who gets voted in on the night of the AGM by the existing member base. The Executive committee will then pick the general committee as they see fit from the members who are nominated here. It is wholly the duty of the Executive Committee to pick, add, delete, and change the General Committee as they see fit. Nominations can only be made by financial members of SAU QLD Please note that the General Committee does not need to be nominated here to be selected... However please use this thread as a good opportunity to make yourself known to the new Executive Committee so as they can pick their General Committee quickly. If you would like to be involved on the Committee, please nominate yourself. If you think someone else would be great in a Committee role - please nominate them. For a nomination to be valid it must be seconded by a current Club Member and the person must accept the nomination. Don't be scared - this is a great way to get more involved with your club. The Committee is currently structured as such: Executive Committee roles: President Vice President Secretary Secretary - Memberships Treasurer Again, this is a great way to be a part of your club.

All items are located in QLD - Beenleigh - 4207 Contact (8am-5pm business hours): 3807 1588 - Ask for Jake. After hours: Private message me on here. Pick up: Will depend on time of day. Postage: Will post items at buyers expense (after payment has cleared or proof is sent). Item: GReddy (copy) manifold + Throttlebody + HKS style fuel rail + bolts and bits Reason for sale: Ending up buying genuine Description/Condition: This item is brand new NEVER been used/fitted to the car. That being said, when I initially purchased the manifold I was less than satisfied with the condition of the cast and port job so I spent some time squaring ports, de-dagging, filing and painting it. The result is a much nicer job than I first received. There is one section on the manifold (see pictures) that didn't allow the paint (VHT Matte black exhaust) to dry correctly as there was some slight defect in the casting. This does not effect the performance and is merely a visual difference. Price: $450 PLEASE NOTE: No throttle body or intake manifold gasket are/were included. Item: Stainless Steel R33 Turbo Dump Pipe (R33 Stock turbo application) Reason for sale: No longer running stock turbo Description/Condition: Was on the car when I purchased it (4yrs ago) and put on by the previous owner. Supported 215rwkw from stock turbo set up. Beautiful sound, plenty of flow, plumbed back wastegate pipe. Just recently got it polished back to a shiny condition. Price: $300 PLEASE NOTE: No gasket/bolts included. Item: Silver HPC coated RB25Det Tappet Covers (with gaskets still in) Reason for sale: Went with a different colour scheme Description/Condition: Got these coated roughly 2.5yrs ago and were on the car for close to 2yrs. HPC coating has minor surface scratches in some areas - nothing that has damaged the coating itself. Perfect for keeping under bonnet temperatures down. Gaskets are NOT rock hard and could be used again. Will come with stock oil filler cap if desired. Price: $150 Item: Apexi Power Intake for R33 Reason for sale: No longer fits set up Description/Condition: Apexi filter is in a good condition - slight staining but no restriction of flow through element. Comes with afm-to-pod gasket and mounting bracket. Price: $35 PLEASE NOTE: AFM is NOT included. Item: Drift 3" POD filter Reason for sale: No longer fits set up Description/Condition: Only used for half a year (if that). Took it off and fitted Apexi Power Intake. For some reason it has decided to rust a tiny bit on the metal casing. No water or liquid was spilt on it - a mystery as to why it went that way in storage. Turn it downwards and you can't notice it. PrIce: $10 PLEASE NOTE: Does NOT come with a mounting flange - POD Only. Item: VR/VS Commodore Altezza Style Tail Lights Reason for sale: Don't have a commodore anymore Description/Condition: These are in near perfect condition. I say near perfect because the outer rubber liner is a little weathered in a couple of spots - other than that, nothing wrong. Lenses are mint, no cracking or scratches. Price: $60

Hey all, Just wanted to document something out of the ordinary that happened yesterday just before closing up at work. I had pulled my car out of the workshop and parked it in one of our bays so I could start bringing in other vehicles and wrapping up. About 30mins-45mins later a police twin cab D-MAX pulled up out the front of my workshop - single female driver. She was in the car for a bit but I noticed her looking around and then get out and open up the back tray of her vehicle. I thought nothing of it... That was until the boys from the shop next to me informed me today that she got out a camera and started photographing my car. She was out the front for no longer than 15-20mins then as we walked outside to leave she did a U-turn and drove away. To my recollection I have no reason to be of interest to police especially seeing as my car has just come out of the workshop after 7-8months in the build and I have a clean drivers record. It was driven twice that day, once to the autoelectricians then once back - no cops in sight, following me or pulling me over. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or something similar? It's playing on my mind as with the new hooning laws, I'm wondering if they're documenting imports and adding them to a database on their systems.

This is a rare car, the babyzilla. All the makings of a GTR, but with an RB20DET. Think of it as a GTR on a Beer budget. Still relatively stock, only slight modifcations. Upgraded to R33 turbo Red devil front mount intercooler Turbo smart BOV Turbo Smart adjustable boost controller Turbo Timer 18" Wheels Panasonic MP3 stereo 15" subwoofer This has been a great car, have owned for 8 years, sad to see go, however, have upgraded to an R34 GTR. $10000 ono inc safety certificate photos : http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-1989-14831389

On my way to work this morning I got hit with some school traffic and decided to find an alternate route, and I found a cracker of a road (even if it is only a short one). The road was a bit wet this morning from some light showers overnight, and with some multiple surfaces it creates some unexpected surprises. Please note that this review is taken within legal road limits. I do not encourage 'hooning' or performing illegal acts on public roads. Please respect the road rules at all times and take note of advised speeds (marked in yellow) before making your own judgement. Protheroe Rd - Forgan Rd, Cashmere (Speed Limit: 80kph) When heading from Protheroe Road, the first left hander (40kph) is slightly banked and has an open rough asphalt surface. The apex of the corner doesn't have much grip when wet, so be careful not to hit it too quickly. As the road opens you get a nice high speed winding section up to the top of the hill before a set of blind esses (50kph) dropping down a 16% grade. The esses tighten and open up again, but be careful not to tackle too quickly as there is a solid concrete gutter on the outside that's going to make a mess of your rims if you come over the crest with too much speed. As you arrive at the end of the road keep to the inside line - the road narrows over a blind crest with loose gravel on the side of the road. If you have any good cruise roads please share them. I'll endeavour to keep updating this first post with your favourite roads to make it easy for everyone to find them.

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the site. I've been in love with Skylines since I was around 13 years old, specifically R32's. I owned a R32 GTS-T about 6 years ago and just two weeks ago I finally became the owner of a fairly clean R32 GTR. I'm up in Cairns and haven't seen too many GTR's getting around so if anyone is in the area and keen to catch up hit me up. Cheers, Ash

[QLD] FS 18x9.5+12 x4 Black Volk TE37s (Genuine) Hi All, My new wheels have arrived at customs in Sydney so I've decided that the TE's are now for sale. Rims were originally anodized bronze and have been repainted black. They have been used for about 2000km's since being refinished. Few little marks on the paint from tire fitting but absolutely no guttering or dings. I still have some of the original rays stickers from the barrels but anyone that knows me or has read my threads on here would know I don't buy fake shit. Come with brand new black alloy Project Kics valves fitted and 3 of the original Rays valves in black. Also have 4 brand new unopened Rays TE37 sticker kits in blue which I haven't fitted as I may keep the wheels and color change if I can't get a decent price for them. Falken FK452 225/40/ZR18 tyres have been fitted all round and are still probably around 95%. They've also only done around 2000kms. I've posted up pics of them fitted on my S14 but if any serious buyers want detailed pics I can arrange this on the weekend. Import monster has a bare set of these in bronze with some of the stickers missing and a few marks through the anodizing on the lips for $3000 and I have seen other bare sets privately for sale in used condition for $2500 (Even some sets of 17s in same width and offsets) My set includes: Brand new Genuine Rays TE37 sticker kits x 4 still in packet which cost me $100 Project Kics new black aluminium valves fitted which cost around another $100 3x original black aluminium Rays valves (one has been misplaced) Near new Falken FK452 225/40ZR18 fitted all round (top of the range Falken road tyre) which cost me $1000 fitted and balanced. Price is $3000 pickup from Brisbane or Sunshine Coast in QLD. Transport may be arranged at buyers expense if I don't have a local buyer. If you want any more photos please PM me or post here. I'll give out my phone number to serious buyers once they have PM'd/posted.

Item: 4 x TE37 18x9.5 +12 wheels with Falken FK452 225/40/18 tyres. PCD is 5x114.3. Condition: Very good, no kerbing/guttering, a few knicks from use and tyre fitting/wheel balancing. Have been powdercoated black over the bronze anodizing by previous owner. Tyres have done 2000km of normal driving. (No skidding and no track time) Location: Sunshine Coast, QLD. Price: $2750 pickup or buyer pays transport costs. Due to countless previous timewasters please read the following before contacting me. While I would like to free up some extra cash, I've just applied the genuine decals and quite happy with how they look on my car now so if I can't get what I consider to be a fair price for the wheels I'll keep them. Please don't contact me saying you bought your last set for $2200 so you'll give me that much, it really doesn't interest me. If you want another colour, buy another colour, there are other sets for sale. If there's a set that some guy on another forum has for $500 cheaper, buy his then, I don't really need to hear about it. I'll entertain offers close to asking price for pickup only. Pics: This is what the wheels owe me for those that are interested. $2500 for bare rims w/o valves/decals or tyres. $1000 for tyres fitted and balanced. (Review here http://www.1010tires...s/Falken/FK-452) $100 for Project Kics black valves. $100 for Genuine Volk decals. Contact via PM or reply in thread. I'll give phone number to serious buyers as I'm a bit sick of $2000 cash sms's. Thanks Jamie

Hey all, I'm selling my Skyline after 4 years, to get myself into a better financial situation (no sob story about going overseas here). It's Burgundy/Wine Red with 80800~ KM's on the clock. 1 owner since Import. Granny spec., so you won't have any prior modifications (read: Headaches) to sort out, except for a front Strut Brace. Which also means that this car is a blank canvas if you want to do any of your own mod's, as it has less KM's then a lot of other R33's out there. Excellent condition mechanically, and has had recent repairs/maintenance as listed below: Work Completed: Sway Bar Mount Bushes Tappet Gasket Seals Coolant and Brake fluid flushed and replaced Gearbox and Diff., oil flushed and replaced. Front Light Bulbs (Low Beam) All back light bulbs (Brakes, Indicators, Reverse) Full Timing Belt Kit All Power Steering and Air Con Belts Replaced Oil Filter and Fully Synthetic Oil Fuel Filter Front Brakes replaced (Back brakes are still good for a while) Clutch replaced December 2011 Flywheel Machined and replaced more recently (13/06/12) Power Steering Hoses replaced (These were the only thing needing to be repaired/replaced to get roadworthy certificate) Battery replaced in the past year with Long Life Gel Cell 2 brand new front tyres (back tyres were replaced within the last 6 months, extremely grippy KU36 Kumho's) Full Wheel Alignment and Balance Drivers Door U Lock replaced Drivers Side Power window motor replaced Drivers side door controls replaced External Automatic Aerial replaced and working. So what else? It's GREAT! Super reliable. Steering is responsive, power is great for stock well maintained machine. It accelerates well and stops well with the new brakes, and it turns solidly. Inside has been kept as immaculate as I can (I never eat or drink in my car) although there are some small scratches where people have gotten in and out. Has only ever been run with Premium Octane as long as I've had it. Panels are straight, but roof and rear wing has noticeable fading and deterioration of paint (see pictures). Bonnet slightly worn in parts, as well as the right mirror and a small de-lamination on the passenger door, plus wearing/opening marks on drivers door edging. FANTASTIC mechanical order, needs a little TLC on the paint, but with recent maintenance it will serve you without a hiccup for quite a while. I have a Gumtree Ad and a CarSales ad. Rego 702KUP if you want to search CarSales for it to see pictures. No time wasters, or negative comments, and no overseas "buyers" either, I won't respond via email, but I will answer PM's from this site. Phone: 0401969868 Car is located at Wavell Heights, Brisbane North. Price is now $8500, for SkylinesAU members. The car is being sold with a Roadworthy (already have one) so you don't have to worry about any safety repairs before transferring the rego.
