I think while they might come off as abrasive Craig, they are only giving their input as to what they personally see as right/wrong with the club. Nothing bad against that, you won't ever please everyone but it's always good to listen to criticism :)

Screw you Craig, asshole. I don't see why people have to come here and post about seeing nice talent tomorrow :)

On a more serious note, I did mean to speak to you about the club today Ruby, more-so about the constitution and the fact I wanted to take a look at it :bunny: Guess I'll wait till final print

was directed at the likes of darren/steve p just to name a few,

and no, im not joining.

just dont understand why people spend time whinging about something they want nothing to do with?

clearly ur not paying any attention to the content of our posts, but whether its general positive or negative feedback. some people just dont see the value in playing devils advocate. its forces people into addressing problems they havnt yet forseen. trying to save u guys wasting ur time.

i still dont get this 'ur not going to join so ur opinion is void' attitude. i dont own a skyline so any experience i have or give to a mate shouldnt be listened to using that logic. :)

Yeah, it was a long day yesterday and I still didn't get around to saying hi to a few people ... including you :P Too many distractions.

Luke, you wanna PM me an email address for yourself and I'll send you a PDF copy of things. :(

Nathan, you were another I spotted yesterday but didn't get around to saying 'hi'.

This should be the final post I'll make in this thread, as a fresh one has been started to advise how the club is going. Namely:

The next meeting is scheduled for the Sunday 10th May @ 1pm and is most likely to be held at the Ministry of Bass premises (to be confirmed), where the ins and outs of the club will be discussed again and people have another chance to voice their constructive comments/input.

On the Sunday 24th May @ 1pm (Ministry of Bass premises to be confirmed) paid members will then vote for Executive Committee members. The interim committee will go thru the results thereafter and the highest voted positions will be notified to the nominees. Once the committee is in place, we can put names to documents and get paperwork submitted.

So there are two more chances for people to attend and have a say and join, as well as the fact that Kellie and I have offered and received enquiries via PM, MSN and mobile, as well as the chance to speak to me yesterday at AJD which many people did. The non-believers have had their chances and have further chances to talk to me about this, but have chosen not to. SAU SA is becoming a reality now ... and about bloody time! :(

Sweet! :P

My inbox is getting full again. :blink: I'm cleaning it out as I'm certain I've gotten back to everyone ... including those who I responded to this morning: Inline6, Talbo, Heslo, Dohmar, Dion, Bezender, Jase.

If I have not and I've missed you, please nudge me to do so and I will email you the PDF docs.

So we constantly dont get asked to join, AND after seeing the children in here, do you blame us??

The organizers SHOULD "give a f**k" if we dont want to join, and clearly you havnt even put a thought into what i said earlier have you?? Just so you dont have to go back a page i basically said the money the club gets from its members is the clubs bank balance, no members = no money, no money = NO up front paid private track days, NO advertising materials eg banners and shirts, stickers and so on wont be printed up front and in stock at any time. Think about it champ, think about the general everyday runnings of a business and the time and effort the commitee members are going to put into it, its not just a matter of 10 SAU newbies that have 20,000 posts between them in the last 2 years getting together and starting a "club".

I fail to see how your comparison is anywhere near what im on about, Your stating they should "stop making commodores", Please point out where i have said "Stop trying to start this club, just because i wont join"?

was directed at the likes of darren/steve p just to name a few,

and no, im not joining.

just dont understand why people spend time whinging about something they want nothing to do with?

So your whinging about the "apparent whingers" and im one of them?? Once again, I am meerly trying to help the "organisers" with ideas, and helping to imform them of what is needed, and who they should go to to get support. I've also had people PM me thanking me for what i've written, as its basically what they have been trying to say or couldnt say it for whatever reason. So really your whinging AND stating your not joining?? I dont see any constructive critism anywhere from you!!

clearly ur not paying any attention to the content of our posts, but whether its general positive or negative feedback. some people just dont see the value in playing devils advocate. its forces people into addressing problems they havnt yet forseen. trying to save u guys wasting ur time.

I agree mate, too many people jump to conclusions and are sooooo one eyed its not funny, They think we are out to attack everything they or people bring up, Im sorry to those who have a imagination the size of Big Ben, but i'd rather think logical and fall from 20m than fall 800m from my imagination.

Anyways it seems as tho the club is finding its feet, which is good to see. One thing to remember also for the people who WILL become a member, the first year is going to be the toughest and will need all members to be patient, the money in the account wont pay for too much initially, so therefore there might be limited booked events, whereas the second year i would suggest the Commitee to organize a yearly calendar of events so people have time to organize days off to attend 6-12 months in advance. and finally just remember for people to take you serious, BE PROFESSIONAL!!

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
