If you want to join a club so you can do CAMS stuff, then come on down to the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club. Its built primarily around the Z cars, but there are many newer members with more modern cars - heck, we even have a member with an Astra :lol: and a past president has a Audi RS4 pocket-rocket.

Our next meeting is next Wednesday (Nov 6) at Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn. Meetings (supposed to) start around 8:15, but many people come earlier (around 6:30 - 7) for dinner in the bistro. If you join now, you get next year as well (we have a calendar-year membership).

Its just gone up to $55 (up from $50), and there's a once-off $10 joining fee. I think you'll be able to download an application at

www.ndsoc.com.au

For that, you get a magazine every month, and access to another source of technical knowledge. On top of that is a $89 CAMS L2S licence, which you would need even if SAV affiliated with CAMS.

We mainly do 'speed events' (sprints / hillclimbs) with the MSCA (Marque Sports Car Association), in fact we have a day coming up at Calder on Nov 10 (1/4 drags in the morning, sprint in the afternoon). Also, just last Saturday, we ran a driver training day at Sandown. And on Dec 1 (?) we are having a show-and-shine at Southbank. Around every Anzac Day, we go for a drive down the GOR to Apollo Bay, then up to Lavers Hill. And lots more stuff.

And you'll be entitled to enter events being run by other clubs eg Phillip Island sprints run by PIARC.

This is exactly what I envisaged for the Victorian Skylines Australia Club. Social meets, drag meets, track days, show and shines, etc but it seems like it's all come to a grinding halt in the last month or two.

R31 Skyline Chick: The club is setup in terms of incorporation but the rest is still pending. If I wasn't living interstate I'd volunteer to rego the ABN, open a bank account and set up a PO Box because once these little things are done the club can take memberships. And like meggala said, once we hit 30 or 40 members (that won't take long judging by the enthusiasm shown above) we'll get CAMS affiliation and then run some great events and meets.

At the moment we seem to be going through the motions and not going anywere, I think we need to bight the bullet and register the club. Over the time I have seen that people dont want to pay the money for a cams license and that has influenced them in becoming a member. I believe there should be two types of membership, financial & Licensed. The financial keeps our numbers up and allows people who wish to come to meets and cruises to do so , but are unable to paticipate in events were CAMS license are required at least they are given options. The only other option I see for club memebers at the moment to run special track events is to join clubs like the Datsun club or SVD wich think is a bit self defeative. We have the committee so why dont we start taking memberships. I would be willing to pay my money just to get somthing happening and then when we hit the magic number pay for my cams license .

r31 heaven your right the cams license is an issue I think we might do with out it for a while until we have 40 + member plus most of us dont have experiance in running event etc ok a Deca day or some thing is fine but no track days etc Blind elk has said to me and others that we are welcome to his clob the nissan datsun sporting assocaition ( I think) they have ben established for years and run around 10 events a year. I'll get some answers by the end of this coming week the club name is registered in vic we need an abn as well. but you r right we should jsut start member ship and take it from there.

nay way more later. I've been busy the last coupel of weeks so I haven't had much time to put into it.

cheers

It looks like we are going to have a good turn out at the drags on the 24th so we may all want to have a chat to all, and see what their thoughts are. For the first year just to get thing rolling if the membership fee is only ten dollars, just to get the financial members and to pay for any paper that will be generated for the year and get some form of sticker so it gives a sort of belonging, as the R31 Club has. Just some more suggestions, its a start.

Saturday I'm working at the Spring racing carnival :)

IF we can organise to get a few heads together to talk shop, then I'd like to put in an appearance on behalf of the R31 crew.

:D

(I'm also not too bad in the 'ideas' department :( )

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
