a sack load of cash bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

ahahahaha..................bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....

jk hehehe

presidential positions and vice pres are usually for organising events such as track days, dyno's, meets, etc. also if a member has an idea for a meet such as a cruise, they would usually go through the president or vice and get them to tell everyone bout it.

then there's treasurer's who are just in it for the money,.......bahahahahhaahhahhhahahahahahahahahahahahaha......so they take care of the membership payments and could also collect money for hiring out tracks and stuff.

then theres other people who i cant think of atm

guys.. the club has been set up as a non profit organisation.. we have to be supply all account details to any member and be auditable at any point.. Any withdrawls from club account needs at least 2 of Pranks, Myself's, Red900s or Onarun's signatures to withdrawl doshish..

all we get out of our positions is giving up so many hours running these forums, replying to these messages.. reading boring department of fair trading rules.. brain dead cams registrations forums.. organising crap.. and yes we do it for free in our own time.. while juggling full time jobs (part time uni in my case) and gf's..

We do it for the love of the club and bring a place to meet for u guys.. simple as that :)

now in saying that.. i have no life and i love u guys :)

Hi Guys,

As Paul said, it takes a lot of our time at the moment and will continue to do so, we get nothing in return except the satisfaction of starting something like this (and it is very satisfying to see how far this has come so far).

I tried to get "prank tax" through the board of admins whereas i get $10 from every membership fee, but they weren't too keen on the idea.

Keep these questions coming and lets try to keep these replys semi serious!!

Christian

I was Club Secretary and Treasurer of the (now defunct) NSW SVD owners club and I can tell you, even with about 40 regular members, it is a very hard and thankless job.

Well down to the people who have stood up and taken the position, I don't envy you, but you have my respect and support.

Yeah, I set up the SVD yahoogroups mailing list and tried to get as many people to use it as possible. For a while there it was looking pretty promising, but a lack of enthusiasm by most members saw it (and the club) slowly turn into just a group of mates who went for cruises etc. We tried a couple of times to get a full website happening, but it just never enventuated, and that's why you have my full support for this venture as I know how hard they are to keep up and running and keep people interested.

I really only visit two Forums regulary - Performance Forums and now now Skylines Australia.

PS, once the club is all up and running, I'll have a chat to you about getting the club some sponsor contacts for discounts etc that were very helpful with the SVD club.

Cheers

Jason

    • 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).
