After reading your fb page perhaps renaming it without generalizing on the n/a emphasis would perhaps be more suitable. Possibly "supra Silvia skyline soarer pulsar club with out turbos" or something similar.

Who cares.

so is this an import club or just a NA jap club? i checked out on FB and u haev ppl coming that are in imprezers n shiz

From the looks of it, it's a club for people with the slowest variants of Japanese cars.

I would say its for the younger generation that are not able to drive turbo cars, i can drive a turbo now but im to tall to fit into anything besides a V, S15 R33 R34 my head is in the roof of the car and my legs are touching the handbrake and steering wheel.

ive started up the forum for the melbourne n/a club if anyone's interested :) sign up !

Probably. They seem to make about as much sense as your average teenager.

They talk about wanting "Jap imports", which is normally code for grey imports, but they've got so many Australian-delivered cars.

They talk about being into "normally aspirated cars" but limit it to 4's and 6's with "no V8s", which rules out stuff like the Soarer & Celsior, which are far more "Jap import" than a Celica and still meet the NA requirements.

They say they don't want people with "brash natures", but one of the member cars is a NA JZA80 with the same Bomex front bar as the eye-searing F&F car.

But my original point is that their list of "suggested cars" are the pissweak versions of the vehicle. Their list comprises mostly of the slow-as-f**k NA variants of cars where you'd only actually want the FI ones, and they've opted for the Australian-delivered SSS Pulsar over the grey import VZR-N1. Not one car in their list is the halo model.

At the same time they've ignored the genuinely exciting NA cars that top their range, like Type-Rs or old BMWs. An E36 328i (which is P-plate legal) isn't going for that much these days. They do have a MX-5 member (and I rate the NA ones over the FI ones just from the purity of spirit) but they seem to be the exception, rather than the rule.

i can drive a turbo now but im to tall to fit into anything besides a V, S15 R33 R34 my head is in the roof of the car and my legs are touching the handbrake and steering wheel.

To be fair, the 350GT is the top-spec of its range. So my comment doesn't really apply to you.

What about going non-Nissan? Would you fit in Z30 Soarer? Or a JX90/100 Chaser? The JZA80 was built for the US market as well.

I havent tried the Chaser, but TBH im more of a 2 door man not that big on the 4 door cars, im going to look at some imports this weekend so ill probably sit in a chaser and a supra again, also gona look at evo 8 onwards also but i would much prefer a coupe over the sedan. I was not a huge fan of the soarer tbh.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
