Not to mention, SAU NSW is having a hard enough time finding 5 people to stand to be the elected committee that is needed by CAMS to be able to run the club... Imagine how well SAU ACT would go...

tis a shame.

i was nominated, but dont feel i have the experience to be a positive contributor to the nominated committee.

perhaps next year?

It was discussed about a month ago in wasteland I think.... There just isn't enough people in Canberra to make it worth while..... Plus seeming there isn't many places to organise discounts for SAU

There's a lot more to running a club than just organising a cruise. ACT folk don't have a great track record to turning up to official events even when SAU NSW bring them to us. You'll also find a l

Well said, Richard. It's what we're all thinking.

To be on that exec you need three things:

Motivation

Time

Patience

Do you have those three things? If you do and you can think for yourself, go for it.

I think ACT Should have their own slightly changed logo from NSW, just to let us be different(:

 

Hop to making one then. Or are you going to join the normal clan and be too lazy and just whinge and moan about nothing happening?

Just throwing it put there

If people want, I can make a logo (approved by the powers to be) then put it to a local vote.

As I have access to a vinyl printer I would be able to make a few runs for cheap.

Perhaps out there. When you see a Skyline you drop an SAU card under the wiper blade.

So many on the road in the ACT and so few on this forum.

There is a renewed enthusiasm within the ACT at the moment but it has to be sustained.

We can continue to act like an ACT club and just be under the banner of NSW, as we currently are.

BUT we have to get out there, and more often, attend organised events and start planning/executing more of our own events.

IF YOU WANT MORE THEN DO MORE................

you cant wait for others to do it for you - Message received ????

this.

i was tired of having no events, so i started organising my own.

people came(surprisingly) and have gone from there.

we actually have a pretty busy calander this year.

as to the first part of your statement, yes, there are more skylines.

unfortunately, as the prices of the cars have dropped, they no longer are driven by only enthusiests.

they have become a daily/run of the mill car.

such a shame, as alot of these cars are no longer given the attention they deserve.

You should go join the OMC in the Wasteland... You'd fit in well. LOL

lol, Just do it. Vote or list or whatever means nothing here. Just do the work or make the decision. Post up when/if things are ready. If it's good, it will populate. I'm pretty sure Richard has been part of this forum as long as I have (around 2004?), and this thought of thing has come up a number of times. Someone will start a topic like this, a few other guys would join and do some work, then people would get bored and/or leave.

CAMS is just crap. I'm about to try to deal with them this week and I'm not looking forward to it.


I know our local representatives do a lot of work but I also rarely see them. It is not necessary for them to be administering every event that we want to do. On NissanSilvia.com, they did try to run event organisors for each state, it failed horribly in ACT. The best thing to do is what Richard did recently; Start a Thread with all the details and go regardless if only 1 other person says they will turn up.

I am happy with "Team Canberra" with SAU NSW membership. We stand out enough compared to the other states. Our number plates are another thing that give us away.

Someone made some little SAU ACT stickers at one point, I have one somewhere. If you want to make some, that's fine, but just please remember that anything with "SAU" on it comes back to this forum so don't just hand them out to every douchebag who asks for one lol

I think it's all been said really, but yeah, we just don't have the numbers for an "official" club. By the time you get a Pres, VP's, Treasurer and Secretary, plus other Execs, do all the paperwork, constitution, join CAMS ($300-700 a year), have the required meetings, take minutes and all the other shit.....

What's the point? What events are we going to have? SAUNSW often struggle to fill events, even in the Canberra region, such as Wakie and Sutton Rd.... there's no way we'd be holding another separate one and expecting to fill it.

Therefore, we may as well stay as we are with 'informal' events like BBQ, cruises, the odd dyno day, Wheels and similar local events.... things that require no money outlay. If you want to do motorsport, enter the SDMA hillclimb, MGCC khanas, SAU Wakie days, SAU texi etc etc.

There's enough around without us busting our arses trying to organise stuff and fill expensive events. We can still do "unofficial official" stuff, ie, we try to hold an Official Xmas Cruise each year.

Oh yeah, that was Anthony. I think they even tried numbering them so each one was unique.... lol.

And, now that I think about it, there might be one of those stickers on one of the R32's I bought recently. I'll have a look sometime.

Richard's idea of dropping a card under the windscreen is actually f**king awesome! There's been plenty of times I've seen Skylines around and know that the owner has no idea about SAU, the idea of giving them a bit of paper with the URL and shiz is a great way to bring more peeps here!

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
