Edited by Darkon

It was a great night and I thank everyone for coming.

Some outcomes from the night

• It is clear that there is no desire to start a separate club just for the ACT, for reasons of excessive paperwork and there are so many other clubs serving similar interests.

• There was a strong desire to be affiliated with another club for insurance purposes

• SAU NSW was the preferred affiliated club, but others were discussed

• Skylines have an image problem of young idiotic hoons, need to portray a club without idiots and possibly more mature in nature. (the people attending showed a maturity that a club needs and it was well received by the two guests (with GTR) from the Canberra Street Rides club)

• There was a strong desire from most at the meeting to be responsible for at least one event a year per person

• Having about 6 motoring events a year was proposed

• Having another 6 social or non-motoring events making a monthly event was proposed

• Joining in on another clubs events (where invited) was suggested as a way to hold events with minimum effort

• Several businesses have already expressed support if the club forms

• Paintball is back on the events list (I am to organise)

• Events must be open to all members of the club

• Where possible a premium is charged to non members to attend to encourage joining.

There were many other suggestions and lots of talk on maintenance of GTR's and a general fun atmosphere.

Action items

Create a thread on the ACT events section to generate a proposed events list and volunteer to organise the event for us.

The possible events list above will be used to demonstrate that we have enough willing people to organise events to discuss with SAU NSW etc.

Discuss in more detail with SAU NSW about a possible affiliation

    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
    • Righto,  enough of ADHD Anonymous! 🤣🤣 Rear end is completely stripped out apart from coil overs that will take 5 minutes.  Fingers crossed it doesn't look like that for too long!   Cleaning up some bits as I go so they can go straight back on. It amazes me how good stuff looks just with a good hard scrub! That will be it for a couple of weeks. I've got ot a bit of surgery Friday that will put me out of action for a few weeks. Hopefully the motivation is still there when I'm ready to get back into it!
    • The povo spec CA18S one, yeah. All turbos had 16x6.5 5 stud and 4pot brakes.
