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?

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.

I've got an amazing artist contact who does a lot if this stuff. I'll see if he can come up with a few ideas and show you / admins for approval.

as ive said, will raise the sticker tomorrow night.

ill let you know.

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!

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
