a club is going to need someone that can spell, use grammar, and also be a nice person in general.

as for the people saying 'good to get the ball rolling', im pretty sure the sausa ball has been rolling for a long time, it just hasnt taken anyone out along the way.

no worries, and everyone i pass on the way out ill tell not to join any sau club :)

This type of BS is not not needed!! :P

Yes I know he has been given a holiday but you guys really need to start ignoring BS more..No comment and ignoring speaks louder!!!

I learnt the hard way that argueing on the forum is GHEY!! It means nothing and just put potential people off!!

Dont comment just report!!!! then the great threads like this one dont TURN TO SH#T!!!

Great ideas with Logos guys!! Looks like its coming along and has good people ready and willing to get involved!! ;)

Start thiking about the things you want the club to be for you..i.e shows, track,social, driver training, dyno comps, cruises, roadtrips and intergrating with others clubs events!! All things that can be brought to the meeting..

So exciting!! It's looking great Kel!! :P

Thanx babe im really excited about this

So im thinking that because i have started the ball rolling i appoint myself as organiser only sort of like a chair person for the moment so that means i will be heading the meetings for now and collecting information off you all at meetings and take notes of the meetings as well, until such time we have a VOTED in president and so on.

if anyone objects to this please say now or if you just have a say on the situation!!

honestly i cant be bothered reading past the first page..

yes i dont have a skyline.. but i have taken part in starting a car club in sa, as well has been part of a large one that went under many years back. so take my advice or leave it.

first of all dont contradict urself. if u just want skylines, excellent. only except skylines, if u start making exceptions with stageas and ceffy's, where do u draw the line. rb silvias? before u know it u have achieved nothing and will be back to sau.

audience; excluding cars is a risk. look at sau and ns.com. yes its oriented around those models, but anyone can come and go. it will always have the skyline/silvia theme. but that doesnt stop people. if u exclude people. u limit how the club will grow. it will increase in size initially and then plateau, simily coz there isnt the numbers in sa to maintain such a specific club. i mean look at the sa section of sau atm. its one of the smallest 'clubs' in sa. and u want to future divide it into segments??

idiots are everywhere. yes u will get them in ur club. as skylines arnt idiot proof, as some of u may wish it is the case.

dont emphasise on a name, really doesnt mean much, just have nothing gay. personally i hate SAUSA, similar to PGA-SA. so basically ur club will be called SKYLINES AUSTRALIA SOUTH AUSTRALIA. its redundant.

end of the day, u could have the perfect name, perfect set of cars, perfect cruises, not bitching.. but it all comes down to politics. if an admin/mod goes emo and ditches the club at a bad time. or like what is happening now. a group wana go off and start their own thing. it will fail

honestly, u dont realise how much money and time u will incur. hosting fee. then purchasing a forum board, bi-annual renewal. banners, mechandise, advertising. then u have to spend months setting up the forums initially, hosting, settings. and everyday checking, moderating the site. time is money, so u will need to apoint mod teams. its not a easy task.

basically, its much easier and simpler to just join a club that already exists. all the hard work already done. and after all its adelaide. the car scene is scattered. u wont pull the numbers to keep it going. believe, ive been there.

however if ur prepared to put in the hard yards.. and have a edge so peope actually wana join and not leave. ie, GOOD crusies, none of this poser shit. then go for it. hell i havnt even gotten around to closing the club engage domain yet. could re-vamp that if u wanted to..

-> stevep

despite a few point written were not one we all wanted to hear, but its just reality and steves got some good points.

descisions need to be made about numerous things and need to be 'dead set' rather than 'flexible'

however, with all the good feedback from most SAU members, it looks like this club might just be worthwhile!

(edit) perhaps at the meeting, find some willing volunteers with different skills/professions/experience to put it all together?

+1 (or technically plus..... like 10)

This guy knows what he's doing.

Those who are interested in motorsport you can't beat Nissan Datsun Car Club (NDCCSA). $50 single or family membership is damn cheap CAMS affiliated, might be worth trying to structure the membership fees around NDCCSA.

http://www.nissandatsuncarclubsa.com/

May be worth while looking in to becoming affiliated with MSCA as its an invaluable addition to a car club. Makes for a great day racing against some exotics, great fun handing it to a dodge viper!! ;)

http://www.mscasa.com/

http://www.mscasa.com/results/2009/results_round1.html

Some very quick cars out there.

IMO no affiliation with MSCA = loose. :P

--- Hope all goes well with the car club. The biggest issue is the liability side of things on cruises etc. Be careful make sure you cover yo ass if its more of a social club than motorsport.

hrmmm NDCCSA seems good! i might join them so does this mean my SAU sticker comes off if it does turn into a club? :)

SAUQLD stickers look like arse with a pinch of feet (like something someone created in Microsoft Word). Stick to the NSW/VIC ones, which use the GTR logo and the website's logo.

dont know if a name has been decided...just some ideas ----->"SSPowaC" (SkylineStageaPowaClub) or "SSPowerC" (SkylineStageaPowerClub)

*SSPowerC* or *SSPowaC*

*SSMotorsportC*

Very keen :(

If its gonna be anything, it will most likely be SAU:SA (Skylines Australia : South Australia), to fall in line with the other clubs on the SAU forum.

OT, but why are you apologising to Ruby in your sig?

An incident that happened earlier. I've since blocked his PMs, so he hasn't been able to contact me.

Nice to see you're man enough to apologise on the forums. I hadn't noticed your sig until Damo pointed it out.

You're one of the rare few to apologise :(

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
