I wont be here for the next three weeks. so if someone could take care of things like if it goes ahead. a poll for who wants to be the leader and so on and who wants to help out. perhaps end this vote in 2 weeks, or 3. then i will be back to help out.

P.S. You should read the post SAU - SA? first as there are the pros and cons of clubs...

I think you'll find if the club side of things happens, it will be the beginning of the end.......

I have been envolved in a few cars clubs, and to be honest, I got tired of them really quickly

The best thing i found about the clubs was catching up with friends, and meeting new people, the rest got boring really quick and it always falls back onto the same people to organize things etc

The reason I like SAU is you can show up to a dyno day etc and no one gives a rats ass if you have paid your fee's or what events you have/haven't attended

Just my 2c, but I'd put money on the fact that starting a club will be the end of it all

Im with Chris.

If you want to be in a club that bad Kikuchi, join another club like SVD first and see what goes on. Not being a prick, just thought u might like to see what actually goes on...

Just seems weird that someone who doesnt own a car yet,(no-offence), and joined less than a month ago wants to start a major reshuffle of the sau section. More to the point show me 1 other reason that a sau club should be formed (cams doesnt count - if you want it that bad, clubs already exist like svd i think which has cams affiliation). Its more like lets just form a club to say that u are part of one.

Despite having been told by a few long timers (who have seen many come and go) its really not worth the effort. People here like the way things go now, without any pressure to turn up on cruises, or dyno days as mentioned.

No offence directed at anyone, just i see it the way chris does.

The main beneift, as some have mentioned is CAMS membership.

If this is why you want to start a club, then I'd suggest joining V-Max or speaking to the Sporting Car Club and going down that route.

if you want to enter Autosalon and go to car shows etc, maybe a club is for you

If starting SAU-SA on the basis of obtaining a CAMS membership is the main reason allot of you are thinking of doing this, I'd think twice.

The other thing to think about is the image of what the club will be.

Without sounding too blunt, as a member of a club, your behaviour on the roads will be reflected upon all its members. If you are a caught doing stupid shit, everyone in that club will be bundled into that image, from the cops view anyway.

Look a NS, there image, in the cops eyes anyway, is that of a hoon club. You only have to look at the number of defects there members have got to see that. Same with that commonwhore club that was on the front page of the paper

SVD avoided allot of attention, mainly due to its members being a bit older, and those who did break rules, generally did so on other car club cruises. There where younger members, myself included, but at the time I was a member, these cars where quite expensive, so quite a few younger drivers where unable to afford such cars.

As we all know, the average price has come down by over 50% since some of us have had our cars, allowing them to be affordable as first cars.

To be perfectly honest, a club with younger members, especially p-platers, is going to attract allot of attention. I know most people who frequent here, thats the last thing they want.

I guess thats whats made SAU SA what it is today really, the fact that there are no stickers, no attention, just a bunch of like-minded car enthusiasts who enjoy talking cars and stumbling along to the annual/once in a while dyno day, cruise or BBQ

Form a club and this will be gone, and with it allot of people who enjoy it now for what it is, without all the shit that comes with being part of a car club

Just my opinions really

Chris

^^^^^Like he said, one person would f*** it up for everyone. Especially the people at the head who would be seen as accountable for the groups actions.

For example, say you're on a cruise, someone does a burnout and gets pulled up for "hoon" behavior, the people organising the event could be prosicuted under the hoon law, something about organising a hoon event i think.

As it is now, we're just meeting up, accountable for ourselves individually.

i just thought it would be a good idea. nothing will be changed and the only thing that will be different is cams affiliation. no heirachy. onli 1 or 2 ppl who organize the funds and thats it. everything else the club members decides. if you want to discuss anything. the other post would be a more suitable place.

for 1 i wont be joining the club any time soon until i do get a car.

2 the original post was me wondering why we dont have a club

then seeing the number of people who were interested

i made this post

if i wanted to join a club badly, i would have gone to join another club. i wanted to go through with this as it would be special for the skylines enthusiasts on sau. joining another club would have been easier if i just wanted to join a car club to show off rather then go through the trouble of going through with this.

if you feel that a club is bad for you. vote No. every vote counts. voice ur opioning in the other post and persaude the other users to vote no.

if you say that sau-sa is what it is today because of the pure enthusiasts. then wats the difference if we form a club exclusive to SAU members that have been on atleast 3 months.

i say this once again. this is a poll. if you dont want a club. vote no.

if you want to be a club so bad why dont you get some shirts or jackets to make yourself look a little more like a club. Im sure if your chasing CAMS you can get into another club to do so.

Not taking a shot either

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
