Does anyone know of any perth based car events over the easter long weekend my partner is draging me out of kalgoolie.

Think there's one JDM meet up next weekend and cruise on Easter weekend , will keep you posted

Not dead - just different people looking for different things.

Being a "older" owner / hoon ;) I'm a little more particular.

There's a few of us on here who have been around since day 1 - going back to Skylines DownUnder days - circa 1999/2000.

I went to the Mustang car show at Wesley college a couple Sundays ago - with some beautiful Shelbys and Mustangs neatly parked up on the grass with plenty of people/families browsing around - talking with friendly owners. I would like to be involved in something quality like that. A well organised GTR/Skyline club - specific to us (not general JDM - just GTR/Skyline).

Have a yearly show and shine day - which we could use to collect toys / colouring in books / etc for kids at PMH.

I would like to see the group / club doing positive things.

Occasional track days, a nice hills run / coastal cruise here and there under a quality banner - something well run.

Not interested in hanging with keyboard warriors with shit buckets who's only interest is to go lapping or crappy cruises where everyone gets stickered.

Something alittle more "exclusive" - I would be happy to put my money and time into something like this.

I find myself just taking my GTR out on my own these days - with my boys strapped in enjoying life!

Keen to get something going if others who are like minded are interested...........

I'm on SAU everyday - love it - don't bother with any other forums anymore - just don't find much to do/read in WA section.

Well said Dan,

I got mine in 02 but took a few years to find this gold mine. Love the idea of the skyline only part as I have much less interest in other makes.

Yearly show sounds good, unfortunately last show I went to (rising Sunday) heaps of people got stickered.

Few of us Wt regulars used to catch up for dinners or meet at events. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Unfortunately most are gone now,I'm trying to reach out to a few oldies to meet up again soon.

Happy to travel to Perth for decent events, even just watching.

Hope to see more people in the future and resurrect our club a bit.

I'll let myself out :P

But seriously, your post sounds like it's on the money, that's definitely what SAUWA should be about. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll get myself another 34...

Thanks for sharing Elle. We are doing a Skyline maintenence day and meet and great. Hoists to work on your cars, BBQ and much more. If you want to get some jobs done on your cars, or an inspection please put your name down on the topic, we need participation for this to happen in the JDM scene.

We should fix that

would it be possible to have a facebook SAU that only posts events, meets, show etc (closed group)..... that are posted on the forum ( like a reblogger ) to extend a reach out to the JDM outer market

Just an idea

btw

i would love to go to show and shine as aside a cruise or track day as i would be embarrassed i dont have anything to go cruising in, apart jdm 4wd lol

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
