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?

Well put Ska, it is VERY hard to find time these days and the efforts of Gary and Slip should be recognised by all.

In my early days I was very active with Pulsar Group, not a club, as in not incorporated merely a group which is different, but it is alot harder to get sponsors of a group.

We don't all go to school and finish at 3 or uni and have 12 contact hours, some of us work bloody long hours to enjoy our lines and the added stress of dealing and waiting on others is not good.

Slip and Gary I'll buy you a beer anytime, great work guys!!!

I Sincerly Applogise for my above post. I did not intend in anyway to Dis-respect Gary or Slip in anyway. I was simply putting forward my assumptions that i was under from the previous update thread. I do understand Gary and Slip both work fulltime and have worked hard over the past months to get this club up and running and i was in no way having a go at them for not working.

So once again i Applogise.

Ben

Chaos - We have actually done updates before this one, it went largely unnoticed.

Given your circumstances, I don't understand how this is such a big issue for you.

2 hour round trip just to get 1 sponsors logo anyone? Waiting almost 6 months for another?

We just got the shirt price back, so everything is sussed.

Sponsorship deals, membership prices etc all to be announced very soon.

PS, we are not talking about hundreds of dollars in expenses to get this thing started, it's in the thousands, so please join up when we launch.

Gary and slip have really been the driving force behind getting SAU Qld up and running (OK that was a bad pun!!). Yes, both have full-time jobs that have nothing to do with SAU and yes, both have contributed bucketloads of their own moolah to get things happening. The amount of things that need to happen for the club to be officially recognised is phenomenal, and the fact that it's happening AT ALL, particularly as it's being organised during spare time, is a tribute to the dedication both of the guys have to the Skyline scene.

Ben, you don't have to join if you don't want to but it certainly wouldn't be frowned upon :) I don't think slip's comment was aimed at anyone in particular - we need as many members as possible just to recoup the money that Gary and slip have spent, let alone to pay recurrent costs, "behind the scenes" stuff and once-off outlays to make your life behind the wheel that little bit more worthwhile!

Everyone's been really patient up till now - just hold out a little bit longer, we're nearly there! Don't forget that every member of the board is as fanatical about Skylines as anyone else on these forums - we'd like to see it up and running ASAP too, we just want to make sure it's done properly to avoid hiccups further down the track.

If we have this level of enthusiasm when the club is up and running, we're on a winner. :)

Great work done by all , it is so good to see some action . I have done the whole t'shirts , sponsor thing before with a sports club and it is not fun , but the rewards afterwards was worth it . SO going to be there for the launch , once I move to bris in two weeks and am able to walk on my now broken ankle ............ but yes I will be there ready to rock

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
