Having recently purchased a new Black R35 GTR, I find it frustrating that there are no GTR clubs in Queensland.

Previous cars I have owned have active clubs, giving focus to the interest, organising drive times, Gymkana's and track sprint days, the more relaxed weekend variety where we can kick the Porsche's around at a pace that does not destroy our cars brakes, tyres and transmissions etc.

If anybody is keen, lets get it happening!

I am based on the Gold Coast.

Von Bibra Nissan on the Gold Coast said they would help support a new GTR Club, especially if it was based on the Gold Coast.

SAU QLD ???

Where is it?

What is it?

Type of cars and age group. I would look a bit silly mixing it up with 18 - 20 year olds (Im over 50!)

What do they do?

And how do I contact them?

Thanks,

Kymbo

we compete in all sorts of car and non car events, and if you check out the forums you can see our outing to the All Japanese Day at lakeside.

Jump on the forums and and you will find the contact details

I doubt there is an 18 yo in our club. I would put the average age at around 35.

I personally think a 35 gtr exclusive club would be a great idea, after all, they are not skylines are they j/k ;)

climb on board if you like, all are welcome and all we do is have fun but if you are looking for something more exclusive we may not fit your bill.

Issue in a R35 GTR club would simply be numbers :laugh:

Tis a LOT of effort to organise such an endeavour for only 20/30 people that might be interested.

As suggested - SAU QLD - Great choice.

Don't worry about the ole "age" thing.

Down here in Vic we have many member over 50 and they get along quite well with the mid 20's+ (our median age would be around 25).

That's the thing when you are an enthusiast and keen, age becomes largely irrelevant when you share a common interest IMO :laugh:

Pretty sure that last time I went to a meet of some kind was a little while ago and I was probably the youngest guy there, at 22.

Good to see another Bris owner on here. Definitely join the club man. Would be nice to hang out with other R35 owners in the same region

I think you'll find that there are atleast 10 people who have commented in this thread that don't own 35's.

I was adding my 2c worth in about SAUQLD, considering I am a member I am probably qualified to comment.

Is this to your satisfaction ?

Hey mate,

SAU QLD are organising a number of events throughout the year. We have our weekly catch ups over dinner - usually a Thursday or Friday night.

We have a cruise on this Sunday heading up the sunny coast hinterlands.

Next month there's happy laps at Lakeside etc. We try and host a few things each month and are growing this at a strong rate.

Come to the cruise on Sunday and say hi to the guys. This weeks dinner looks like there might just be a few people (because I've been flat out at work and didn't have time to organise it) but you're more than welcome to join.

TTR34 is organising a photoshoot of the R series GT-Rs and he could use a 35 in there.

There is a fair amount going on and after there AGM, there should be a lot more.

If you've got any further q's, you can PM myself or any other exec, jump onto www.sauqld.com or even cruise on down to the QLD section here.

FYI, there were two 35s at our annual charity cruise last year.

Speak soon mate!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
