As most of you know we now have the best banner of any car club.

At this stage I must take particular time to thank Tarmac and SiNista32 for their very generous donations, without their support we would not be having a banner.

I'd also like to thank Michele for her fund raising efforts and lastly a big thank you to all those who attended and purchased drinks etc at events.

We have a bit over $100 left in the kitty and I'm calling for interest in what everyone would like purchased next.

I'll start the ball rolling and say a marquee or a pair of marquee (often cheaper and easier to set up two smaller ones then one larger one) We thank Mick for generously allowing us the use of the Federal Tent, however we can't rely on Micks goodwill forever and having shade is so important at events.

But thats just my idea, what other suggestions do people have?

I think it would take too long for us to save up for a track day... unless someone is prepared to put in some serious fundraising efforts!!!!

I agree re: the marquees/gazebo's from experience, 2x 3m gazebo's are much easier to manage than 1x 6m and there are times when a 3m is simply enough. Its more within budget i.e. one at a time. I think mine are called Oztrial deluxe gazebo or something to that effect.

We could also start looking at auctions (DOLA/EBAY) for second-hand engine hoist for loan or low value hire - perhaps with a deposit for its return.

I suggest we use what we have left to get the ball rolling for further fundraising ie buy sausages and drinks for our next sausage sizzle or better still, does anyone know how to get the foot in the door for a bunnings bbq?

for bunnings just call them and ask to talk to the person in charge of that i dont know of any cost

Youre also welcome for the banner design John...:P

Perhaps we should start charging admission to our spot at shows... Like $2 per person for the privaledge of looking at our lovely Skylines at Marques in the Park or Shannons Wheels car show? :P

hahahaha, bunnings was free back home if it was a non profit organisation, so if we are doing to improve the club for all members then it should be free,

Does someone know someone who knows someone to get us booked in? I heard its hard to get in and you have to have insurance. That shouldn't be too hard to get though.

Insurance? To sell hotdogs? :thumbsup:

Just incase someone gets food poisoning?

Or chokes, or slips over, or gets burnt, or gets allergic to the sauce, or grazes their knee or gets an itchy nipple. You've gotta be covered.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
