Before Xmas, like way before as I am sure alot of ppl are going away on holidays and don't want to miss out on having there say about the future running of the club, and as for a resturant I don't think that is wise, as I am sure there will be some "raised voices" and why do want to pay to go to a meeting, I suggest someones house with a big yard, and make it a BBQ insted.

:P Good call Ben. Yeah I'm good with any day/night.

I know Gary was going to try to organise something like this for late November?

I think a casual dinner setting is a great idea. A busy restaurant may not like having someone stand up and talk about club stuff at a level in which everyone can hear properly, so might be easier to just have a meeting somewhere where there is sufficient room, kind of private (so we don't disturb other people), and easy to get to.

I would think that a quick run down of the journey up to now by the current exec's would be great, good to show all the members just how much effort went into that time. Also a run down of what issues the club has at the moment and what other things need to be addressed in the future.

It would be really good to have a list of responsibilities for all the exec's and committee members, that way when members do want to contact any of them, they can always go to the right one, rather than having either the buck passed around or getting lost in the system, NOT that this happens at all at the moment! I personally am actually curious to know what is actually involved in carrying out the roles of one of these positions.

Then open up the floor for nominations and voting followed by discussion on direction and suggestions and the motioning/seconding of actions to be taken, as I am sure there are a lot of good people with great suggestions.

From there the new exec's then can go away and have another meeting after that to make a plan of attack for ways to achieve the direction in which the club has decided on going and start to make things happening.

I don't want to sound like too much of a Nazi, but I really think that this should be open to anyone to attend, but the chair to only recognise members of the club for nominations/voting/motioning/etc. That way all those who aren't members yet can get a further insight into what is happening with the club and maybe want to make that step into becoming a member.

Just my two cents worth (ex GST) :)

I agree...

I also reckon the option to pay / join on the night and then be involved in the voting, etc would be a good idea... A bit of incentive for those that want their say but haven't joined...

nup,

I don't agree,

join on your own time.

This should be a Club Meeting only.

And should be organised by the current Club President.

this will be a club meeting, but will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. Gary said that.

but when time comes to nominate and vote only financial members will have the right. What if 50 members came who were ready to pay then and there?? thats the cams license in the bag. If they wanna join on the day let them, they have every right to. and for the president organising this?? hahahaha slip hasnt been on for a whilel last time i checked. This has to be done soon, get the new execs and commitee members in and get this thing going.

Why should the power and future direction of the club be decided by those who have all the money? I thought democracy was for all.

So you wouldnt mind if I invited 100 of my mates along, non of which are members, get one to nominate me and then all vote for me?

Hey that really is not too bad an idea, only problem is I dont have that many freinds, although I reckon I could get 100 people to vote me in, if paid the right amount :rolleyes:

JK, but that is exactly my point, then any old bastard off the street with heaps of people voting for him could potentially run the club, I am sorry but I do not want that to happen.

As a paying member I have the right to a say in what happens in the club, I right I do not think should be extended to the general public.

If you want a say, join, only costs like $50 (without the t-shirt) how hard is that?

nup,

I don't agree,

join on your own time.

This should be a Club Meeting only.

And should be organised by the current Club President.

Sorry Mud I dissagree, why not let people attend the meeting, let them see what is going on and be totally open, but they just do not have a say on nominations or voting or anything to do with the club.

Just like parlement, we can go and sit and watch the polies in Canberra, but that doesnt mean we are alowed to make up laws.

If people want to join there and then I would love to encourage them to do so! But they must be members before they can have the right to participate in club votes and the like.

no no no,

you miss understood.

My thoughts

* Anyone can attend.

* It is a meeting only not a membership drive, no joining up on the night (waste of time).

* Only paid members can vote.

* Should be organised and chaired by current president

Sounds good, still think people should be able to join if they wish so before the meeting starts, but yeah it is up to the execs I guess.

And slip does not have access to the internet so how is he supposed to organise this? Chaired yes it is his responcability to do so, but organise, he might need a hand, which is why I think this thread was started for?

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
