Hello :wavey:

Ok i have an idea for a big event for the SAUWA club, its kind of a trading serect/skills day, i bet most of yous dont understand what i mean so i will explain; a day where we hire out a park or use a workshop (sst ect) and have ahole heap of members (the more people the better) come and down and share there skills with out memebers. We could also have a few people bring tools, so if people want to install parts ect we could all join in and help.

I will also try to get a few shops down, so maybe we can have some parts ect on sale or something like that, if it is at a workshop that may be hard, but then again we could have a dyno comp also on the day.

AFter all the trading ect we could have a nice BBQ then a night cruise to finish on the night.

I know im not a person who does the event ect, but i will be more than happy to get it all done (ring the places ect ect) as i really wanna do this.

Now i dont think that the day will work unless we have alot of people coming down maybe around 40 or 50cars would be perfect (i would say no more than 70 depending on the place where we hold it). If i get like 30 or 40 people for it then i will set a date (late april or maybe later) and get everything all fix up for us.

I have no idea about planing a cruise so maybe, someone can help me out there (more than happy 2 print out the maps ect)

Any input would be nice :)

Thankyou Mike

ermm i think we had something like this last year..

best to PM the ppl who organized to get an idea of turnout etc and other issues related with planning the event

Bam how did it turn out...? im tring to get invole with the club and give something back as i taken so much from the members who i ask question2 day and night :)

ok just found the old thread and i through i add what it said in here:

Skills Swapping, Sun 21 Sep 2003?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To confirm what has been discussed in the general WA section about a skill swapping day, I will just give a brief overview of the aim of the day.

A day where members can meet in an open space and we basically help each other with some of the simple things mechanically, or electrical, cosmetic, whatever you can think of, on our cars. A chance to do all of those little things you have been putting off.

Everyone bring their tools, their skills, hopefully we will find a place with BBQ facilities. Bring beer.

Some of our mechanically minded members have offered their services, and will show people how to do simple things such as fluid changes, break pad changes and some simple stereo fitting, speakers etc. YOU WILL REPAY THEM BY PROVIDING THEM WITH BEER, or a token payment (a fraction of what you would have paid someone else to do it).

Please post here if you have a relevant skill to add to the day, or if you have something you would like some help with. Hopefully we will all learn something.

- if we plan on cruise better easy on the drink :)

- People are welcome to sell stuff (i think this is a good idea, as people can buy them install on the day)

the main idea was to have a "welcome mikey to sauwa club" cruise but then thinking about it, i through not many people would turn up :) so i better make it more appealing for the rest of the members as some have a problem with me hehehe :) (just jokinn :rofl:)

Mike - that is a great idea. Feel free to speak to dan and myself about it if you want to go ahead. It may also be a good opportunity to raise some funds for the club!

Can I suggest maybe putting up a poll to get an general idea to see if this event will attract any interest??

    • 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.
