Just got an e-mail asking if I want to go to a meet and join up. Just wanted to know if any one knows anything about them, or is a memeber already, or wants to come along to the meet (it kinda sounds like fun).

So anyone already a member?

The Webpage is at http://www.importscene.com.au/webcontent11.htm

This was the e-mail

Team Import Scene will be having a HUGE launch day on Sunday the 15th June 2003 for our newly formed club - there will be a Show and Shine, SPL Competition, Sound Quality Competition, Dyno Challenge, Photo Shoots (the Import Scene models posing on YOUR ride!), TOCA Race Driver Gran Turismo 3 Midnight Club 2 Competitions, Rocket Launches, Tech Presentations, Spot Prizes and giveaways, BBQ and a closing cruise..... now thats a club launch!! :D

The cost for the day will be $25!! which also gets you a years membership (entry level) with Perths Premiere Japanese Import Club - Team Import Scene....

We are in NO WAY trying to take members away from other clubs, but rather bring all the low volume Japanese imports together.... while still being apart of your car specific club. So, if you own a jap import (300zx, Supra, Soarer, 180sx, Silvia, 200sx, FTO, RX7 etc etc etc) why not join up and get together with some other hot imports!

This is no half arsed attempt at creating yet another club in Perth! We have commercial backing, which means we have the funds and support to give our members what they want!! hell, just look at the official launch day..... could we have anymore things to do??? :D

Sorry for the long post, thanks.

Greg.

I don't see Skylines in there, sounds like another Rice Boy club IMHO, I think I'll give it a miss:D

hehe the term Show n Shine always makes me laugh gives me visions of :whackit: which i think is rather appropriate

Aint have no skanky arse ****s on my car posing on my ride - they can go buy their own ride to pose on! :D

it is riceboys

the guy that owns the neon overloaded soarer seems to have something to do with it.

should ask all sorts of nasty questions, like

is it an incorporated club? if not why a membership fee?, what do we get for being a member? whats ur ABN? is there public liability insurance for the club?

I saw that soarer racing at motorplex with its PINK and BLUE neons lighting the whole race track up. It was truly disgusting and an embarressment to all the imports. Especially when every trev out there were laughing there asses off next to me.

Neons should stick to excels and civics.

that is all.

:werd:

really guys you have no right making any comments like that. If they like neons etc thats what they like and not even your comments will change that. Also i do notice that a fair few of you guys do have neons and suff on your car so really it isnt just limited to excels and sh1t is it. i have an excel do i have neons..... no. I had a look at their page last night and their club does seem ok. Its for imports only, not aussie cars, excels,non evo lancers etc I just think of it as another presence in WA supporting the imports.

Just remember that you guys arent the only fans of imports in WA and instead of making them feel bad about it and not want to be in the Import "scene" any more why dont you just give them a bit of support. make a few useful posts on their page (eg. if they dont know what a BOV is dont bag em out just tell em. god paul has been answering stupid questions like this on these forums for ages)

And R32-GTS who gives a crap if the "TREVS" were having a laugh at his neons. Almost every single "HERO" commodore/falcon driver in rocko has neons. Besides that the guy in his soarer probably ran a faster time then the "TREVS" and made them piss so yet another win for the imports. I hate to tell you but one persons choices for their car does not reflect in any way on peoples opinion of YOUR car.

And finally about FNF. If they want to aspire to make their cars like the cars from that movie so be it. FFS take a look at JUDGED's car. That whole argument about the stickers saying "WHAT RICERS" etc. well i hate to tell you but for such a RICE car i think i have only seen 4-5 people on this forum who could beat JUDGED. A 12 without NOS isnt to shabby hey. To finish off because im becoming incoherrant i will quote a saying thrown about by everyone here but obviously not really meant

EACH TO THEIR OWN!!!!!1

I doubt a soarer will scare many trevs, Meh its a car club , car clubs in general suck, because they are just their to further individual aspirations in the end. But let them have it, let them have cruises, amd plan ours in the opposite direction, btw the cops are out in anti cruise force lately :)

I only posted the e-mail to see if anyone had some info on the club, not to diss it at all. I thought some of the stuff they were doing sounded like a bit of fun and was hopeing some one here was involved in the creation of the club.

Some of the stuff they are offering is pretty good value, $60 (at the opening) gets you a shirt and cap, stickers, entry to all events (Dynos etc), Invite to the VIP party and 10% discount from their sponsers.

Not sure wether I will join or not, i have been trying to get in contact with the president of the club, but I don't think anyone should be dissing them, we should either support them or....... make them our arch rivals.... ohhh that would be great, we could race them and diss them, create a rivalry. Nah that sounds like too much work, lets just support them.

Anyways.

hahah have a ***ing loop out PSIKER just coz u love the neons.

u a member of rollaboyz ??

:shake: :shake:

1. as a matter if fact i am not a huge fan of neons, i dont own any i dont want any

2. i am not a member of Rollaboys.

only reason i made my comments is because i deemed yours (and others) to be unfair. All you guys had to say was. That doesnt sound like something id do, then leave it at that.

Last time i looked a skyline was an import. and due to the fact that there isnt a actual SAU club as such dont you think this would be an ideal place to try to get members to form your new import club.

P.S - Paul is right, everyone is entitled to their opinion be it good or bad. Therefore i am not taking any comments as a personal attack but am just trying to see it from their side for once. If i was the president of that club and i read this i would honestly develop a bad opinion of most skyline drivers. Which is a shame really because the majority out there are top guys and girls.

Damn that site is ricey.. and does anyone even know if they will turn up.. it might be a complete scam! I mean, if they get 100 people, with $25 each.. thats alot of cash, for making a dodgy site and bank account.. neither of which, is hard AT ALL.. I wouldnt trust them..

I wonder what the percentage of the having neons would be.. its how they pull their chics..

SAY NO TO RICE!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
