Cool thread and history. :) I guess I didn’t quite make the old school list 😢 but I was briefly an SDU member and I certainly feel old... I think I joined sau in 2002, maybe late in the year. 

i’m passing through to give thanks to our son of rajab and creator Prank. He built (and kept running) this place. I learned so much here and met so many great people, many of which are close friends to this day. Thanks Prank. ❤️

For those wondering I do still have a GTR and like all good ones it spends most of its time in the garage...

I see my good buddy blitz has checked in above. He’s been a close friend now for more than 15 years, we have shared so many good times. Shonen has remained one of my close friends, plus he had the raddest 34GTT forever ago. brisby and I have caused mischief all over the world together and he still has the worlds best 32 GTST.

I’ll probably forget some names but there’s a whole cast of friends I made here in Duncan, Kel, fatz, 31silhouette, bobbyporsche, merli, dan, dif, shell, Dave, tosh, steveN1, russ, mark, stretch and more. 

Thanks again PranK. :)

OMG Richard! @Beer BaronYou're definitely an old schooler, 100%.

Its really good to see you post. It's been a really long time!

I really hope things are well. Good to hear you still have your GTR.

I'm an '03, was in SDU but one day when reading the Aussie section saw the reference to SAU....so joined.

I think I was the first person to sell Skyline stuff on SAU with a part of the proceeds of the sale going to SAU.  I actually asked if it was ok to do that and got the thumbs up.  Sold probably 5-10 items with at least 10% going to SAU, and in some cases 100% going to them.  This trend has died a bit now [and I have stuff all to sell atm], but I'll rat my shed and see if I can kick it off again!  I know I have a s/s dump pipe somewhere 🤔

I remember that well. It was much appreciated.!!

Wow. Decided to check in on old Sau. Thoughts of owning a gtr again .Holy crap the prices .. 😄

Remember the mass defection from SDU too, as one of the original members back then. 

I had an email from Iron Chef that I just deleted back from 2015 when looking at importing a R34 GTR. They were all about 40-60k. Absolutely pooping that I never bought one. 💥

Oh wow! I wonder if his cousin has it atm. I really miss Nick, he was one of the nicest and most genuine people I've met in my life. Never complained and was always more worried about everyone else than himself. 😞

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
