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.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
