Hi Guy's,

I have recently found out that one of my close mates has cancer. Today I have come up with and idea that could be great for Skylines Australia, which will give the public a vision that we are not all hulligans.

My idea for the fundraiser could include a sausage sizzle with can's of drink and the public can get up close to the skylines and any other nice cars that wish to come along, the more the merry'r.

I have yet to call the council about this idea, I would just like to hear what you guy's think about the issue, and please feel free to give any ideas and suggestions....

I'd like to then give 50% of the $$$ to a cancer foundation and the other 50% to my mates family.

Thanks

Mark

:P

Sounds like a good idea. $10 entry or something? would that cover everything adequately. Could even get a sponsor or two to donate food or drinks or something?

(my car is pretty boring so I'll have to do circus tricks to entertain the masses.. either that or some burnouts :P )

Damn good idea, shame I'm too far away otherwise I'd be in it for sure.

Just as a thought, I'm note sure how serious SAU wants to get with things like this (fund raising etc.) But if you've got plenty of cars entering sometimes the local TV stations have a small segmant (30sec - 1 min) where they advertise non profit org's and fund raising events.

Doesn't cost anything, you just need to give at least 2 weeks notice (and maybe a bit of sweet talking :( ).

I think the Sydney people have Tim the weather man that does it, and us Canberra people have the Community File on Ten.

Like I said, just a thought cause I personaly think supporting organisations like the Cancer Foundation is an great idea.

Cheers

watch horus bowl: LOL classic! hehehehe.. I'd pay to see that again!

If something like this was to go ahead, it will require a fair bit of planning and organisation but I think it will work well both as a fundraiser, raising the profile of SAU as a good bunch of people, and good day out. Some sort of venue needs to be organised, some form of advertising or word out there has to be done, and even some possible sponsorship if it can be arranged.

I think it would have merit with other imports in there as well, to give both more interest than just Skylines and get a few more people involved than just us.

Hey... If i had some notice i coulld organise for some members of my car club to be there... plus I can advertise a bit if you'd like?

Would just need some more information....

And maybe I could get our clubs main sponsor (Go Fast Bits) to maybe supply some stuff?

But some info is needed :D

Cheers!

Hey, Makaveli that is a really good idea man, I have a cousin that is just getting over the horrible shit. He lived in the country and had to travel down to melb every so often for tests and shit. Now he is left with a scar in the middle of his back and will have that for the rest of his life. I have known some great guys, well kids anyways, who have passed on due to cancer. If I can help at all, lemme know mate.

Hey guys its great to hear such great enthusiasm and ideas, keep em coming.

I think a day set for cars and food will attrack many people.

Here are some of my ideas so far:

-Could be $5 per head and $2 for kids under 15.

-Hot Dogs and cans of soft drink can be sold.

-Maybe ask companies like Auto Barn to sponsor the event with prizes which can later be drawn in a raffel.

-Make and distribute leaflets giving details of the event

-Get friends to tell their friends and their friends will tell their friends etc...

-I'll get it posted in my mates newsletter at his school.

-Will have to get food and drink etc, hopefully donated.

-Find the best location for the event.

-Get as many cars as possible from lines to supra's to anything sweet that locals will enjoy a peep at.

In the coming week or so im gona talk to the council for advice and further ideas.

:D

Peace

thats a great idea man..as you all know my dad died from cancer related death 2 weeks ago...a suggestion that...whatever stuff that is bought etc.. for the day ie:sausages,drinks etc....when sold, whatever profit is made gets 100% donated to anti cancer council, i am sure that the council will make an appearance or make themselves known,

j-spec was interested in gettin involved in stuff like that... basically they sed they'd support by providing food and drinks, in exchange for a good word... contact em if you want a sponsor.

I'll try to convince em to bring their authentic R33 Kakimoto widebody along too for people to drool over.

Oh and I'll provide the world's slowest skyline :O

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
