A good idea would be to contact Ashwood and see if he would match the donation dollar for dollar. He gets publicity and does something nice, skyline fans get some food and a cruise, kids get help they need. Everybody wins.

Tried Terry on the mobile today but no luck ! - ill give it another go over the weekend and report back in ! :D

Got any interesting item(s) youd be prepared to have raffled for a good cause ?? - post them up !!

Any further ideas on the preferred date for the day ??

cheers malcolm :banana:

sounds great. count me in.

i'll have a chat to some people at my work see if i can get a donation out of them too. they support all sorts of charities. not sure if they have set ones they donate too but it wont hurt to ask. :D

EXCELLENT !! - thats a great idea !! - thanks for your support ! - :banana:

Hi Mal, mate count us in too. should be a good day.

Hi adam - great you guys can make it ! :happy:

I just tried Terry again on the mobile - no answer - ive left a message outlining what we're doing and he'll either ring me or ill call back early in the week.

.....any further ideas on a date for the drive ?? & raffle ideas ??

- cheers malcolm ;)

Saturday 31 May?? or any of the weeks after...

dont want to drag the planning stage too long otherwise we will lose interest...

I think we should have a raffle....free tank of petrol....seatcovers...some kind of accessory one of our sponsors might like to donate...

cheers.

Date depending, I am in for sure!!!

Once we have a confirmed date, update the first post with the date and I will see e eryone there.

Cant wait, it will be my first SAU cruise with the R32 :nyaanyaa:

B.

hey brian,

cheers for your support...

you should come out more often!!

SAU cruises are the best!!

my little brother goes bonkers "OMG LOOK AT ALL THE ROUND LIGHTS LIGHT UP!!!!"

Hi there :P - Well Terry did return my call but got my message service !! - he knows what we're planning and is happy to have us up there & to chat further :ermm:

What we need to do is to decide on a date that will give enough time to organise merchandise / raffle / auction and a Sunday thats not on the same weekend as a motorsport or other event as per Duncans request.

Thought id give the Cumberland Newspaper Group a call - they might run an article if we can supply a few pics - you never know !! :D

So the biggy is the date .... ??.....any further ideas ?? ;)

Cheers Malcolm :no:

- ps - can everyone please start telling heaps of people to come on the day NISSANS or not ! :P - and dont forget your donation !! - which i now think should be $20 per person & not $25 per car as i originally suggested as its ALL about a BIG fat cheque to put a BIG fat :P SMILE :P on somebodys face !!

:D

any further news on this?? i dont think the long weekend is a good idea (8th june) only for the fact that its the long weekend and many of us may be away that weekend.

anyway just a thought.

Hi there :)

Just got off the phone with Terry Ashwood who's away on business till Sun. eve. Ive arranged to call him again at 10am next Tues May 27th to discuss in full all that we are proposing.

Which is: Charity Drive to La Porchetta / lunch / raffle / auction / photos.........ill ask Terry that we'd appreciate la Porchetta getting involved with the donation by means of perhaps matching our "efforts" or some % in the dollar - thatll be his call all i can do suggest.

PLEASE !! - now is your chance to to suggest anything else for me to discuss with him in relation to our day there :D

In response to the above "quote" NO date as yet has been decided on & wont be until i speak with Terry - so PLEASE more suggestions on which Sunday would be greatly appreciated. bearing in mind that enough time to to rally the masses and organise merchandise and raffle/auction be taken into consideration. Possibly late June at this stage !?

In the mean time TELL EVERYONE that a CHARITY DRIVE FOR CANCER FOR KIDS IS COMING UP !!

Cheers malcolm :D

Looks like theres 2 charity for kids drives planned - the one i suggested on april 26 & another suggested on april 29 - not sure the best thing to do as im not sure that 2 charity drives so close together is a good thing ?? - what does everyone else think ??

cheers malcolm :D

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
