a club is going to need someone that can spell, use grammar, and also be a nice person in general.

as for the people saying 'good to get the ball rolling', im pretty sure the sausa ball has been rolling for a long time, it just hasnt taken anyone out along the way.

no worries, and everyone i pass on the way out ill tell not to join any sau club :)

This type of BS is not not needed!! :P

Yes I know he has been given a holiday but you guys really need to start ignoring BS more..No comment and ignoring speaks louder!!!

I learnt the hard way that argueing on the forum is GHEY!! It means nothing and just put potential people off!!

Dont comment just report!!!! then the great threads like this one dont TURN TO SH#T!!!

Great ideas with Logos guys!! Looks like its coming along and has good people ready and willing to get involved!! ;)

Start thiking about the things you want the club to be for you..i.e shows, track,social, driver training, dyno comps, cruises, roadtrips and intergrating with others clubs events!! All things that can be brought to the meeting..

So exciting!! It's looking great Kel!! :P

Thanx babe im really excited about this

So im thinking that because i have started the ball rolling i appoint myself as organiser only sort of like a chair person for the moment so that means i will be heading the meetings for now and collecting information off you all at meetings and take notes of the meetings as well, until such time we have a VOTED in president and so on.

if anyone objects to this please say now or if you just have a say on the situation!!

honestly i cant be bothered reading past the first page..

yes i dont have a skyline.. but i have taken part in starting a car club in sa, as well has been part of a large one that went under many years back. so take my advice or leave it.

first of all dont contradict urself. if u just want skylines, excellent. only except skylines, if u start making exceptions with stageas and ceffy's, where do u draw the line. rb silvias? before u know it u have achieved nothing and will be back to sau.

audience; excluding cars is a risk. look at sau and ns.com. yes its oriented around those models, but anyone can come and go. it will always have the skyline/silvia theme. but that doesnt stop people. if u exclude people. u limit how the club will grow. it will increase in size initially and then plateau, simily coz there isnt the numbers in sa to maintain such a specific club. i mean look at the sa section of sau atm. its one of the smallest 'clubs' in sa. and u want to future divide it into segments??

idiots are everywhere. yes u will get them in ur club. as skylines arnt idiot proof, as some of u may wish it is the case.

dont emphasise on a name, really doesnt mean much, just have nothing gay. personally i hate SAUSA, similar to PGA-SA. so basically ur club will be called SKYLINES AUSTRALIA SOUTH AUSTRALIA. its redundant.

end of the day, u could have the perfect name, perfect set of cars, perfect cruises, not bitching.. but it all comes down to politics. if an admin/mod goes emo and ditches the club at a bad time. or like what is happening now. a group wana go off and start their own thing. it will fail

honestly, u dont realise how much money and time u will incur. hosting fee. then purchasing a forum board, bi-annual renewal. banners, mechandise, advertising. then u have to spend months setting up the forums initially, hosting, settings. and everyday checking, moderating the site. time is money, so u will need to apoint mod teams. its not a easy task.

basically, its much easier and simpler to just join a club that already exists. all the hard work already done. and after all its adelaide. the car scene is scattered. u wont pull the numbers to keep it going. believe, ive been there.

however if ur prepared to put in the hard yards.. and have a edge so peope actually wana join and not leave. ie, GOOD crusies, none of this poser shit. then go for it. hell i havnt even gotten around to closing the club engage domain yet. could re-vamp that if u wanted to..

-> stevep

despite a few point written were not one we all wanted to hear, but its just reality and steves got some good points.

descisions need to be made about numerous things and need to be 'dead set' rather than 'flexible'

however, with all the good feedback from most SAU members, it looks like this club might just be worthwhile!

(edit) perhaps at the meeting, find some willing volunteers with different skills/professions/experience to put it all together?

Those who are interested in motorsport you can't beat Nissan Datsun Car Club (NDCCSA). $50 single or family membership is damn cheap CAMS affiliated, might be worth trying to structure the membership fees around NDCCSA.

http://www.nissandatsuncarclubsa.com/

May be worth while looking in to becoming affiliated with MSCA as its an invaluable addition to a car club. Makes for a great day racing against some exotics, great fun handing it to a dodge viper!! ;)

http://www.mscasa.com/

http://www.mscasa.com/results/2009/results_round1.html

Some very quick cars out there.

IMO no affiliation with MSCA = loose. :P

--- Hope all goes well with the car club. The biggest issue is the liability side of things on cruises etc. Be careful make sure you cover yo ass if its more of a social club than motorsport.

hrmmm NDCCSA seems good! i might join them so does this mean my SAU sticker comes off if it does turn into a club? :)

If its gonna be anything, it will most likely be SAU:SA (Skylines Australia : South Australia), to fall in line with the other clubs on the SAU forum.

OT, but why are you apologising to Ruby in your sig?

An incident that happened earlier. I've since blocked his PMs, so he hasn't been able to contact me.

Nice to see you're man enough to apologise on the forums. I hadn't noticed your sig until Damo pointed it out.

You're one of the rare few to apologise :(

      Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg

      RB gearbox options

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.

      VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
