All of them... I want to do all of them!!!!

Remind me to take you for a hot lap this time Carlo!

Interested parties: Majanal (21/6/03) Kel Duncan Silver Red Roy (deposit 19/6/03) Akira Prank Carlo (deposit 20/6/03) Benm Mr R32 M-Spec Merli R33Deviat Bonkers Jaz Man (deposit 24/6/03) Tex (deposit 26/6/03) Kinks (50/50) Ftaz (Just coming for the beer... but I bet he'll drive!) Talej (Come on mate, you know you want to!) OZ GTR97V might drop in in the arvo. that is 15 people that definatly want to come and 3 that are possibles... I only have 15 spots guys and the longer we leave it the harder it will be to get any extras. Deposits needed asap guys to secure those spots.

Hey I like the sound of that! Need more deposits guys... I only have 4.

Yeah, settle on a design and let me know funky, I will get it run past them... from what I have been told it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use the GTR badge or name. (Which so far you arn't thinking of) As for the logo I like the one for the back... but change SKYLINESAUSTRALIA to SAU and stick it on the front! as for the back well I'm not really sure... I had thought the URL for advertising but some feel that this is geeky. my $0.02.

Sorry B-man... Can I offer you a beer and we can call it water over the bridge? Sorry but I don't agree that shirt is good... it just won't do... Merli, mate you have really just gone out and done it now... IT IS NOT LONG SLEVE!!!! :bahaha: :uh-huh: :bahaha: :uh-huh: Sorry, I'm sure that carlo had that one covered... I just felt like beening a dumb arse! I think that it is a great idea to have the tracks on the back (here is 20c pete)... I was a bit sceptical at first... but good idea from pete... make it with all the aus track on it if possible, not only does it give us a check list... but it also gives it scope to be available to all the clubs when they finally get up and running. (off shoot of B-mans comment) Good design Merli... I like the SAU logo with lights and Team Track Day under. Carlo, How hard is it to have these made up for "Team Drag" and possibly "The Cruise Crew"? I know that the drag guys might need to come up with a different back... and it could be difficult for the cruise guys to put all the different cruise routes on there...

Just got clarification on the name issue... As long as there is no link to the club (ie. the Club is not selling them) then you don't need get Nissans approval. As SAU-VIC doesn't exsist then I don't see it being a problem. If however you would like me to clear it past them I'm sure that that can be arranged once you have a final design made up. OH and don't forget that I would like some of these when they are made! Cheers, Dan.

Of course you can come... hey maybe we can start a Team Track Day Supporters club!!! LOL :bahaha: :bahaha:

That could be an idea... we could do a run of 100 and get a few sponsors to chip in maybe? I think keep the slogan pretty simple... don't want to go and confuse me... doh... I mean people. Remember that we want everyone that is not involved with Team Track Day to know who we are and what we are about. my $0.02

is it still $35??? and all you need is to be able to write.

Nah I'm home man... sorry to you though as I'm now up to my 4th beer... was hoping that fatz was gonna share some cyber scotch tonight... but apparently he is on the real thing!

AND... why is everyone editing posts... this is not fair... I miss all the fun because I have to work late!

well you gotta admit it was a good laugh... and I needed that after my day... I say thanks guys for cheering me up!!! But XCUZME, how bout this one... I'll take you for a run round the track if you take me for a quick lap down the quarter? hang on... am I missing the point??? oh thats right... it is ALL motorsport... Damn I hope I get a bite!!!! Hey Fatz... pass the scotch baby!!!

Wow... it really amazes me every time I look at threads like this one... want a turbo upgrade - help, want to buy a r33 GTR - help. you have to read through 4 pages of comments like "your stupid, who in there right mind would do that, you have no idea" etc. like blitz and a few others have done and said, "I think that a cheaper car with less power is possibly a better idea and this is why cheaper insurance, not as dangerous" etc. don't just criticise, be constructive in your criticism also. To have have my $0.02c, If you have a budget of $60k (which your going to spend all of) then a GTR would be probably one of the better options (as compared to a rear drive turbo, and before you jump on me I do know how ATTESSA works) in my opinion... espically seening as Devilish Angel is not that interested in mods and racing (I'm going on what she is saying and giving her the benifit of the doubt) they are a nice well balanced car with plenty of mod cons to help out like ABS and the like. The safety refinement is much higher also than your 1989 nissan pulsar. While a GTS-25t (or GT-T) is a similar car it is rear wheel drive and in my opinion a more dificult car to drive espically in the wet. Now things that need to be considered are the following (some have been mentioned earlier): 1. Insurance, this is the most important to know roughly what your going to be paying. So far we have seen rough quotes from NRMA ranging from $13,000 to $38,000, so Devlish I would start to ring some insurance companies now as you'll possibly get a lot of "no thanks" and "the cost of your car quotes". Try Just cars (131326), Young and Cool (4751 8844 or 1300 307 066), and Famous (www.famousinsurance.com.au) as I think these would probably be your best bet. I would suggest having comprehensive insurance as if you crash your car or it gets stolen then bad luck you loose you car. If you hit someone else then you pay for them too. (think worst case and ferrari or something) 2. Talk to few of the guys that own them on running costs (OZ GTR97V, fatz, Blitz, Prank to name a few). Oil, filters and the biggest is tyres. From my time spent on the track tyres make a HUGE difference to the way a car handles and performs (which transfers to the street). I just put some Continental Conti Sport 2 tyres on my rear which are excelent in all conditions and last a while and it cost me $465 a tyre. I'm hoping to get 6-8 months out of them. 3. Do a driver trainging course as these I'm sure are excerlent value for getting yourself out of sticky situations. The best advice I ever had was from someone that is not a driving instructor or a race driver and that was to drive defensivly and try to not need those skills which you have learnt. If you need to see what a car can do then come out the Eastern Creek and take it for a few laps with the Team Track Day crew or on a wednesday night with the Team Drag crew and see what is like up close but in a controlled and safeish environment. I'm sure that if you have time between studying and looking for your car that if you want to come to a track day (the next one is on the 24th July) we will send you out in a few cars to see what they are capable of... just remember that these guys drive like grandmas on the road and have also been driving for quite a while. Just because it is done on the track doesn't mean that you can SAFELY do it on the road... there are HEAPS more variables on the road. 4. Don't forget to factor Rego, that will cost approx $800 at least I would think. 5. Think about where you will be driving it and what you will be doing with it, where it will be parked etc... GTR's are a big target to many people for many different reasons. Espically with "P" plates. 6. Take on board the advice that is given here, good or bad. Remember that the people on here have a wealth of experience and knowledge to offer you. Just sometime our jealousy gets the better of us... and yes I am VERY jealous! Hope this helps, sorry for the length.

Cheeky...very cheeky! Hey Carlo, is it possible to have the team photo earlier in the day??? all that driving is thirsty work!

Funky, Yeah I did think about that after I posted that... I'll look into it for you... stay tuned. Dan.

BenZor, Course you can, the club is for enthusiasts... but if you come on cruises you must travel 5 kms behind us... park up the road at meeting pleaces... just joking... anybody is most welcome and you may join in all our club activities!!! Just download the membership for in my sig (below) and follow the instructions there! Welcome to the club, Dan.

They sound about as organised as us!

Funky, If the caps and beanies are going to be in any way linked to the club then you will need to get permission from Nissan Australia to use anything that is Nissan or Skyline etc. This was a condition of us being able to use the "Skyline" in Skylines Australia. Hope this helps. Dan.

Have to down grad to a 50/50 now... money issues.

Did it have alarms etc? What about insurance etc? I'll set up a road side vigil.. it aint crossing the mountains with out going past me! Dan. EDIT: Have SMSed all SAU numbers that I have.

That has just spoiled a good day.
