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.

      Volk TE37SL 9.5J +22 / 10J +20

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
