not according to the VIC Constitution. It states that only Skylines may enter, and any other car at the discretion of the director.

anyway!

i wanted to start something different so thats what im sticking with

+1 for SAUSA

its short and im sure most people can figure out what i stands for and its easier to say than RB MOTORSPORTS and SAUSA lets people know that its from SA at least, unless they get confused with USA...then thats just silly :P

(edit) if RubyRS4 says that there might be a stag club similar to this one, then maybe there is no need to make exceptions for cars other than the skyline? a pure skyline club, no one else, possibly?

just a suggestion, not trying to be biased

also, for all who have RB- engine conversions that isnt a skyline, would their membership rely on the sole discretion of the director/president?

well hate to burst the bubble but a few of those names are in use? not sure if it matter or if it needs a biz registration /non profit ? but I think you might touch on a trademark/copyright infringment if your not carefull???

http://rbmotorsports.blogspot.com/

anyway welcome back Kellie, I'm very interested in committing to this,

if people spend money they will think twice about antics online,bans,etc

and hopefully commit to doing something as a group, not sit home online chatting all the damn time

there must be commitment or it won't work.

count me in if you need some help, its good to see your back, and with a mission..lol

That website refers to RB Motorsport in california, USA

EDIT - its not registered at http://agencysearch.australia.gov.au or http://www.search.asic.gov.au which means its not been taken. Go nuts!

dont kid yourself, a US company or worldwide company can come after you for infringment? better safe then sorry hate to print up shirts etc and have to change it latter

stove top? is it a cooking club, sound good to us, but not outsiders who cant put two and two together?

team super cool skyline club

gets my vote fo sho!!

Love the idea, I am totally in, I am the annoying friend (most of you would have one) who messages you at strange hours on a regular basis and wants to go for a cruise.

Seriously though RB motorsport sounds good.

Skylines and fat-assed skylines (AKA stags), maybe other cars should be subject to a majority vote of the commitee? Like if an RB26 powered 350Z wants to join you put it to a vote.

I can't commit to being involved with everything but will be happy to help with events, etc.. from time to time.

Love it, take my money and tell me where to sign.

if we have sausa that opens it up to everyone on here and there are some real idiots on here sorry but there are and sau here doesnt have a good rep at the moment i would rather start from scratch and have something brand new for people that really do want to be apart of a car club not just someone who sits behind a computer

Aww Kel :laugh: I understand what your saying but as below when people have to dig into there pockets and pay it can iliminate some of the "idiots"

but if someone is paying the money for membership, its in their best interest to utilize their investment and make it out to shows and track days.

Yes you would think so but alot of people just join a club so they can get there CAMS licence and belong to a Cams affiliated club we have a few in mine like that :rant:

Kellie - have your meeting to find the people that are dedicated to making this work...It's really hard to find dedicated committee members and volenteers :P then when you have enough people to start a club think about membership prices and what you get with your membership. Maybe draw up a coming events calender and should have a get together planned to draw in and get more people involved..

Also you will find the Club is more off the forums or you would hope you guys can have your own subsection that members only that have paid can see -- Have more face to face meets then just chatting on the forum it helps!

No, they can't come after you if you're

a) in another country

and

b) a not for profit organisation OR a multinational OR a company listed on the stock exchange

Provided you get the not for profit registration and use the business name simply as the relevant referral to the ATO, you won't have any problems at all.

If however you tried to register an international patent, then you'd be in trouble.

Thing is, they could be idiots and try to prevent kellie from registering a .com.au but the hearing would be held in australia and she would win due to the simple fact she's not making a profit.

-D

EDIT - Just remember, the registration in this state stipulates that it only needs to be unique across the australian federation - which means you can get a business name - which means you can register for not for profit status as well as register a .com.au, and for the point of printing up t-shirts and the like, im sure that company would appreciate the free publicity for them via the search engine hits ;)

what it needs a dedicated group of responsible die hard car nutters, not a stereotyped street racing hoon (RCK) or keyboard warriors

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
