Who's Birty? Don't think I've ever seen that person in the Qld forum?

The last time he was seen on the forums was 11-09-2003, 09:45 PM

I was partying on a cruise boat, it was sweet.

Its a big chain of events, we cant give prices yet as we dont know exactly what the shirts are costing, we didn't know what the shirts were going to cost for ages because we didnt have all the sponsors and their logos, we didnt have all the sponsors and their logos because nothing ever goes right, and so on and so forth. Its always something waiting on something else. But now its sorted :P

Posting on the forum is not a measure of participation or effort. If that was the case, chaos would be running the official SAU club singlehandedly :D

I dont even post that much, but I know sponsors phone numbers off by heart because i've spent time building good relationships with them and making sure they are good at what they do and will look after us.

maybe you should run like a poll or something to get a show of hands "who would be willing to participate in regular SAU Queensland club?". And maybe at a suggested membership rate when it goes ahead.

That willl give you a good idea of the numbers you are looking at, and also the likely budget you will have to get all this stuff done? It will also give you a good idea of the sorts of activities that can be planned and things like that.

Just a suggestion?

Just on the regular Thursday meets there have been 20 or so cars, which has been great -- and its been "revolving" a little so that some haven't been able to make it, but others have turned up to make up for it. So there are quite a few out there that will be interested in the official QLD club i think.

True. But this is "skylinesaustralia". Perhaps some participation from the chiefs is needed...

Maybe a meeting / club update every now and again ala the VIC guys would help... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35451

And can you clue us in on the sponsors yet???

Personally i enjoy coming along to thursday nights .. it gives me time to socialize with my 'own kind'

however i have been a part of clubs myself the past few years .. and im no longer interested in being apart of a club.. however i would still like to spend time with other skylines.

how does not being a member effect this?

Hey there Guys,

The company rep who is doing the shirts will have the final price on the shirts by the end of the week, I managed to keep the cost down by getting the artwork done for free, this usually costs between $70 and $90 per sponsor patch... that just saved over $500. Took a little bit of time but it was worth it....

We have some major sponsors and we have some smaller guys but ALL will really look after you in terms of price and quality of work.

Some of the sponsors have yet to sign off on the final details so for that reason all sponsors will be told to you all in the next coming week or so, we just want it all on paper. Some of the deals you will all be able to get are great.. Like polished front mount intercoolers for $500 new, and yes they are of quite good quality. We have tuning workshops, parts people, upgrade specailists, import yard, and even a national chain. I think you should all be happy with the result.

Once the Shirts are made the launch date will be announced, it will be a full day event and hopefully you will all be able to make it.

I will keep you all informed of the progress as it happens.

Cheers

Gary

I dont mean to be the shit stirrer in the group but it seems i have that name since i first joined over a year ago. In a previous update thread (some months ago) we were told that the club was only a few months away and we would have regular updates. To which this is the first update since that thread. Now you can go on all you like about me not owning a skyline or whatever but i do still try and participate in club organised events and donate to the club when i can and i just re-read slips post before and i see im meantioned in a good way this time and i didnt even notice slip was gone. Im not bagging you (slip) for not posting on here as much as i do (which seems to have picked up lately) and i didnt know u were on a cruise till a few weeks ago, but im sure everyone here is anticipating in when this club will finally be off the ground. I was talking with Dave last Thursday about the supposed regular updates that were supposed to happin and we were both disapointed that this was not held too, and so be it you may bring up i dont own a line im only 18 and i spend most of my time on here speech and if you wish to do that fine but dont cut me down like you did last time. I am a person and yes i do have feelings and i thank those who stood up for me. I welcome any replies to this post aslong as they have some meaning.

Chaos - i just typed a long ass reply and it didnt make sense to myself so i deleted it. :)

I didnt know you didnt drive a skyline, and im not going to hold that agenst you .. because ive been there ive done that and ive always been 'not cool enough' to hang with the big boys..

you try owning a commodore and hanging around with a bunch of 180sx's .. can anyone spell OUT CAST!

But i see what your saying here, even though im not interested in joining the club at this stage, i would like to see it up and running.. but when?

Ill leave it there before i continue to confuse myself ;):D lol

Hey chaos, you gotta remember that slip and Gary probably have lives that dont revolve around SAU and they are giving up their spare time and doing a lot of running around and organising in their own time, so yeah it's taken them a while but are you going to pay them a full time wage so that they can quit their repesctive jobs and do the organising full time?

I am not trying to put you down or bag you in any way, these guys are probably doing the best that they can, so why not just be patient?

EDIT:

OH Forgot "and their own expence" too :( I dont know how much running around they have done, but since we have not yet paid any membership fee's, any phone calls, visits to potetial sponsers, organising the t-shirts, everything is coming straight out of thier pockets atm.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
