SAU WA Car Club

[chaos]

true hipsi but i think your gonna have to cater for other members on the forums who dont own lines like the 180, silvia, wrx, *cough* holden *cough* owners etc

[GTS-t VSPEC]

HIPSI, Some of the most active members don't own Skylines, and aslong as it's a form of Jap Import then they'll be more than welcome.

R33 Impul, We will be looking for donations, anything will be appreciated.

Mat, We'll be looking into CAMS affiliation once the Incorporation is complete.

[sileighty]

so how would a sil80 powered by a rb20det fit in?

[gen180]

Personally I think that all members should own a skyline. It is Skylines WA after all. Maybe non offical club meetings/cruises etc, could include other makes.

Not to shut others out or anything.

I hope this Doesn't Happen as I for one and dad (bully) Love going on Skylines australia cruises. we Attend quite a lot of meets and SAU is the only Car club apart from rice (our own rocko based group) that we cruise with due to the friendly nature to all import owners. Of course its always going to be skyline orientated but i'd hate to be rejected

[N I B]

I think that Non Skyline owners will be OK but thats up to the club members but sofar only one person has been against it.I would like to see it kept to Jap cars tho but what ever happens i will support it.

minutes now posted in the minutes thread.

[wannabe]

I am interested in throwing a feew dollars at a membership.. Seems like its a good cause.

[JH32]

I agree with gen180 and Paul ..

there are a few members here who are active participants in the club but don't own Skylines, but I also agree with Steve in that it should be a Jap car club if we're going to accept other types of cars.

I mean after all it is Skylines Australia, and we're already pushing the boundaries that the name implies. If someone wants to join who owns another type of car, well there are plenty of clubs out there for that sort of thing.

[zanda]

In terms of active membership, the benefits of being a member will necessarily be geared towards imports anyway, making membership less attractive for non-imports...

[Driver]

Memberships are a good idea.

Ill be more of an active member when i get my car

[HIPSI]

HIPSI, Some of the most active members don't own Skylines, and aslong as it's a form of Jap Import then they'll be more than welcome.

Ok fair enough im not trying to leave people out but wats the point of calling it a Skyline club if owners of other cars can be members? I keep saying this because there is no dedicated skyline club in WA and when the idea came up on the forum thats wat i though it would be. If you wish to include other makes maybe a change of name?????

[HIPSI]

yeah i've been hanging out for a dedicated skyline club. As one of the most imported model of car im suprised there isn't one. I agree with Jimih if you wish to include other makes as members then maybe a change of name???

[tomj]

No - because the core base will be Skylines - it has after all come from the SAU fourms that this club will exsist - hence the name must be something affiliated with Skylines

for things like general imports , antilag or similar is the go. Though i know we arnt all imports either as we are performance based.

[fane]

SAUWA is fine...

As long as its not a torana or something like that then i'll welcome it...

As tomj said performance is where we are based...not all our cars are imports... eg. R31s and shit like that...

I say if it has an edge like a datto with an SR then we should welcome it

my 2 cents

[PSIKO]

Wy don't you have an 'affiliated membership' as per Commodore Car Club of WA?

In this, any non Commodore is allowed to join, however for track events where they compete against others, the affiliated members aren't allowed to join in?

The affiliated members pay less, since they are less 'active' however still get to join in on cruises and the like

I think the main core of members should be Skylines, and the rest as an affiliated membership where they are less proactive, as described above

[tomj]

I thinks thats gay

"welcome to the club but your not really a member"

pfft to that

my 2 cents

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I think the majority of members would be happy with Skylines and Jap Imports, plus any conversion using a Jap Engine.

[Sneeza]

I agree Paul - we have non-skyline members who are sometimes more active than some members who do own skylines. The RICE guys have always been willing to help out (eg the skills day) and not all of them own Lines. They also make a presence at many of our cruises and are well known within the SAU. We have never excluded them or other import enthusiasts before and we shouldnt start excluding them now.

I owned a 180sx when I first joined at I was welcomed to cruises etc, the friendly nature of SAU was attractive and I dont think we should lose this as a club.

[gtrken]

I don't think you should limit it to any vehicle.

As this is a social club as well then what difference does it make?

The Nissan car club has commodores in it and the Mini car club has Nissans in it , so what?

At the end of the day , it is the person , not the car we are needing to make a club work and I know some top people driving some fairly average cars.

The average person would not normally consider being in a Skyline club if they haven't got one , unless they are passionate about them or enjoy the existing members company.

Don't forget , there needs to be a trial period with ALL members where the committee reserves the right to say you are a tosser and boot them out

My .02c ( cos the business has the rest...

Cheers

What the old bloke said above........

And to the few who say "it should be Skylines only" - pull your heads out of your arse. Some of us have been around since day 1 and even before when we all used to hang on Skylines Downunder. We all have had Skylines at some stage and still appricaite them. Why should we be excluded when we have contribute to the forum, events, etc for years - and some of the whinging twats have just joined (2 months one of of you).
