Like every President before him, you deal with the situations that arise at the time. Sadly it's generally a thankless job plagued by backbenchers with little idea of the effort levels required.

No doubt about it. I'm sure I am only one of the many 'whingers' you have put up with over the years and I'm sure it's not easy.

However take a step back and look from our perspective. If we are not given the option to be listened and ideas genuinely considered then why should we strive for a position against the nay-sayers?

The clique I mentioned (whether you accept it or not) has moved on and many new faces are running the club now. Quite a contrast to the same people swapping seats for the past 5yrs. And in order to grow, the club needs to be more open which it is becoming.

I look forward to the new overlords :)

I'm a Westie brah soo nuna not so obvious lol

haha ye I thought you'd at least have a bit of an idea though :)

As per the Club Constitution, everyone has the option to write a formal letter addressed to the club. Same as all the questions raised @ AGMs & GMs are addressed as well. No-one does though. They just complain after decisions are made because they'd rather play a reactive role in their club rather than a proactive one

So I the cops towed my car to Spot on Panels and i had a look today, broken weather shield on passenger side, some graffiti on the pillars inside which i also found a marker in the boot, bits of bumps and scratches around the car, ignition barrel totally screwed, emptied glove box and the stuff in the boot and found my coin compartment totally ripped out and chucked on the floor....

Anyone know how much roughly premium goes up for insurance after claim?

as a rough guide, use the online caculator that most insurance comapnies have.

put in your details prior get quote

put in same details but tick one claim, see cost.

won;t be %100 accurate but close enough

Look like quite a bit of entertainment here last night.

Will need to organise some time of UFC Cage Fight for the Show N Shine

Lol. If you we're really open to club member opinions you would acknowledge informal comments made on the forum and encourage the person to submit their opinion through the best means to get it reviewed. Not play the power card and if that falls through say no one submits officially.

As you said, a proactive approach to handling opinions will get a much better result than a reactive one ;)

Dw Ash, I still love you, always love a good debate <3

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
