After reading your fb page perhaps renaming it without generalizing on the n/a emphasis would perhaps be more suitable. Possibly "supra Silvia skyline soarer pulsar club with out turbos" or something similar.

Who cares.

so is this an import club or just a NA jap club? i checked out on FB and u haev ppl coming that are in imprezers n shiz

From the looks of it, it's a club for people with the slowest variants of Japanese cars.

I would say its for the younger generation that are not able to drive turbo cars, i can drive a turbo now but im to tall to fit into anything besides a V, S15 R33 R34 my head is in the roof of the car and my legs are touching the handbrake and steering wheel.

ive started up the forum for the melbourne n/a club if anyone's interested :) sign up !

Probably. They seem to make about as much sense as your average teenager.

They talk about wanting "Jap imports", which is normally code for grey imports, but they've got so many Australian-delivered cars.

They talk about being into "normally aspirated cars" but limit it to 4's and 6's with "no V8s", which rules out stuff like the Soarer & Celsior, which are far more "Jap import" than a Celica and still meet the NA requirements.

They say they don't want people with "brash natures", but one of the member cars is a NA JZA80 with the same Bomex front bar as the eye-searing F&F car.

But my original point is that their list of "suggested cars" are the pissweak versions of the vehicle. Their list comprises mostly of the slow-as-f**k NA variants of cars where you'd only actually want the FI ones, and they've opted for the Australian-delivered SSS Pulsar over the grey import VZR-N1. Not one car in their list is the halo model.

At the same time they've ignored the genuinely exciting NA cars that top their range, like Type-Rs or old BMWs. An E36 328i (which is P-plate legal) isn't going for that much these days. They do have a MX-5 member (and I rate the NA ones over the FI ones just from the purity of spirit) but they seem to be the exception, rather than the rule.

i can drive a turbo now but im to tall to fit into anything besides a V, S15 R33 R34 my head is in the roof of the car and my legs are touching the handbrake and steering wheel.

To be fair, the 350GT is the top-spec of its range. So my comment doesn't really apply to you.

What about going non-Nissan? Would you fit in Z30 Soarer? Or a JX90/100 Chaser? The JZA80 was built for the US market as well.

I havent tried the Chaser, but TBH im more of a 2 door man not that big on the 4 door cars, im going to look at some imports this weekend so ill probably sit in a chaser and a supra again, also gona look at evo 8 onwards also but i would much prefer a coupe over the sedan. I was not a huge fan of the soarer tbh.

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
