Well if there was actually a club, it could be promoted. I spent a year telling ever line owner I met about the club or soon to be club.

After having to meet the same people and having to tell them there is no club yet again and again. I gave up, I felt like an idiot.

I have since joined 3 clubs one of which cost $150, but its money well spent.

Of the 3 clubs I am a member they have regular meets, cruises dinners etc, all well attended and organized.

In the end I just lost faith in there ever would be a club set up here.

Even when I tried to help/offer it was NO we have it sorted, felt like there was a little elite group and I was not invited.

Its great to see the other states are way ahead and I wish them the best.

As for me I will still enjoy what I love most and that's my imports, cruising and the club scene,

Good luck to ever is in charge these days and I hope you get there one day.

As for

"i think it just goes to show how skyline drivers are 99% posers these days."

and that comes from someone who would go on a skyline cruise's but not take his own, well. No offense Dave hey.

I am amazed at the delight of how many skyline owners I meet that are so keen to join a Skyline club...............but that sad fact that there is no club.

yes well its glaringly obvious there, 2 cruises in the one weekend isnt a good idea, specially one so far north, then one so far south :)

im sure one of these days slips gonna get off his ass and sort it, but i spose it does take a lot of time, and most people work.

my 2 cents are, bring on the club, and bring back my licence

james - yes, some people had some excuses, and im not even going to blame slips cruise, but seriously now, for 2 cruises, both totally different, what we got less then 15 cars for both put together???

to me, thats not cricket, that is more similar to a weird retarded form of tidley winks...

its not to say that we shouldnt have 2 cruises on the 1 weekend, but my point is, even if that was an excuse, atleast go to one of them... not either...

That one cruise that Andrew and I tried to organise that a few people came and ripped to shreads really makes you feel like "Why do I bother" ... I know there was some interest, but as already stated in here, you get all theses people saying "yeah I'll go .. FOr sure... I'll be there" ...Then no one turns up.

Luke has been telling me that the club is getting closer and closer each time I see him... but nothing yet. I haven't joined any clubs simply because I have a b/f that isn't interested in anything besides himself and his car. So there's no point joining a car club if you aren't allowed to attend the functions. Is there?

I will also say that other people have other commitments in life that don't always allow them to attend EVERY cruise. I personally am not a fan of the Mountain Runs, hence why I don't attend. But I have never once insinuated that I was going to attend. I have made it quite clear from the beginning that I don't like Mountain Cruises, hence why I don't attend.

As for the sunshine coast cruise, I didn't even know it was on, call me lazy or just plain stupid but I didn't look in the QLD section to see if there was any cruise. I normally only look in the wasteland.

That's my bitch..

It's a lot easier to join a club then to start one. Don't think that we've given up, it's just very difficult to organise stuff, and find time to do all the running around and paper work and get this stuff going. The club is registered, just we've got a few more things to organise before we can take on members in a way that we'd feel comfortable and confident. We could just take peoples money now, and have a few cruises, but we want to give every member their value for money, and things have to be done right.

We are getting close to having everything finalised. And i'll guarantee that all the other clubs around had similar difficulties in the begining as well. Myself, slip, luke/abu53, gary all have fulltime jobs and it's not as easy to get everyone, and everything together.

And besides, there's more to a club then a piece of paper saying you're a member, a lot of people on here have known each other for years, helped each other, and had some great days/events together. I don't think that should ever be given up on.

was going to go on slips cruise because i never have been up to the sunshine coast except for a holiday in my mums house in coolum. didnt go because the numbers were disapointing, and everyone was late, and heaps of lines passed and never stopped >=[

the sunday cruise I was going to go to but didnt know where the **** that place was/is. and I dont know what to type into www.whereis.com.au to find it :) so I didnt go,a nd my cousin used me to fix some tax accounts computer(****ing hate her now and stupid ibtch threw away all her cds that she got with the cable and computer...)

However, I reckon we meet somewhere in the next 2 weeks, wheather it be thursday night at aspley maccas in the hypermarket carpark(that way we are able to all park together and talk to one another without running all over the car park :)

or met at yatala BP/maccas at 7:30pm on saturdays so we get car parks because everyone goes at 8-9pm. fuela nd eat there and all leave together to somewhere.

radios are cheap now, two for $99 at dick smiths and they are uniden, they dot he job, but you wont be able to have your stereo up :( heaps of fun :D and if you were on the coast on sat night you would have heard me on chl 17 till about 10pm then 20 till 3am ;)

I dont know whats the best thing for the sunshine state people as I dont know how long it takes for us to get to you and vice versa, and how many of you up there, to see if its even worth the trip.

anyway I'm just saying lets ALL meet one night and have a cruise, just give 2 weeks notice and everything should be ok.

*scratches head*

Can't we just all get along. I honestly don't see what the big rush is... Why do we NEED a club RIGHT NOW! Why does everyone have to explain their actions.. Why does everyone have to come here and critise everyone??

Gary, I wish I had $1000, thanks for doing that bud. That's a lot of money to fork out with a new bub.

Do you really want slip and luke and gary and birty and ... who did I forget...?? promoting a club that is only half finished?

Once again, I really don't see the big fuss, if you want to belong to something that badly, join another club.

Can I ask why my post thanking Gary for his sensible response was deleted? If on topic sensible posts are going to be removed it defeats the purpose of the forum... Thanks.

And slip, there is no need to edit your last post over and over... We get what your saying...

Regarding chaos running the club, noone said he should. I didnt think it was fair or mature for slip to single him out, I stand by that.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
