One of the downfalls of the SVD club was that there were not enough people at the end who were prepared to be pro-active and get things organised. If you want a cruz then be prepared to plan a meet point and route, then post details with a bit of notice for people and plenty will come.

You have to understand that this is a hectic time of year for most people with family and work commitments, january will be better and right thru till rainy season....

Too few people prepared to pitch in and the club will die... as in SVD.

I suggest you start thinking bout a meet point!? There was also a recent thread about ideas of things to do as a group... check it out.

Yer thats fair enough and totally understand that but being a newbie here and a bit younger than most (21) if i was to say anything or try and set something up i couldnt see people taken me seriously. But i will for sure be at anything that is organised and will try and support this any way we can.

that i imagine would be a common missconception sure your a "noob" doesnt mean you

1) dont know how to read a street directory

2) cant look @ creating a thread stateing well thought out ideas with dates times (NO MEETING POINTS)

3) use copy and paste when people say i would like a PM

4) make a text document where pasting aforemention names for later referance when u need to mass PM everyone

ie:

Topic Title: Cruise to Lobethal

Topic Description: 25/12/2006

Hi guys Bob here i would like to see a show of hands who would like to come to a cruise on the 25/12/2006 to lobethal

there is a nice bakery there where we can get lunch and a park for the kids with plenty of parking

/end

something like this note the bakery bit is made up you might only know of a car park or oval see how easy it can be topic description doesnt have to include date might wish to say 'meet and greet'

i hope this gives you and others some ideas on how easy it is and please dont forget if you get stuck there are many members here willing to help

EDIT

age is of no relevance if you come across mature and willing to try, a thread title that wouldnt get looked @ is

Topic Title: Blasting Through the Hills

Topic Description: first one there wins

this 1) would not be taken seriously and 2) will get deleted as we do not promoted speeding through the hills or Anzac drag way

Gonna ask, apart from the 2 here that are still around(PSI and INFMS), are there any registered car clubs in SA? Seems some Insurance companies look upon club membership favorably.

(clicky) Sporting Car Club of SA & their V-Max section caters for imports.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
