Congrats Bob on your purchase. Did u get the best colour available, silver :)

Do u have a thread or pics on the car? I'm keen to see it.

Cool....... I'm looking forward to this event.

My newly acquired V-spec 2 should be ready by then and I'll probably have a few spare parts for sale too.

Cheers,

Bob.

Yes mate........ Had to be silver........ Spark Silver to be exact..

She needs a fair bit of TLC which is slowly coming together.

She's OK but not in the same league as your car or my ADM but at least I don't have to be precious about it and can just hop in and enjoy.

Unigroup did a good job on the mechanicals.

Ran 271rwkw's which is no record breaker but brisk non the less.

I'm expecting to have stage one completed by Easter, and then finally completed by the end of September.

It's at my panel beaters now getting a once over and the wheels are at the Wheel Repairman getting painted the correct colour.

It goes to my trimmers on April 10 to be completed by the end of that week and then then the exhaust shop to realign the rear pipe.

I like them coming out dead straight and this ones on an angle to the left.

I'll then detail the sh!t out of it over Easter which will then do until later in the year.

WE NEED TO ORGANISE A GET TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers...... Bob.

Why dont you just call it a "R-chassis swap meet, coffee and cars" becauae thats what it'll be

It'll only be that way cause the V-chassis boys choose to stay away

What you SAUNSW member say and what actually happens are two different things.

We dont choose to stay away, the r-chassis people make that choice for us with comment like " Do man V35 Skylines go to these sort of things, or is it mainly the better skylines?" here on the forum, let alone the other crap we cop when we do turn upto events.

Can i ask what is it exactly about V-chassis cars that you R-chassis look down apon us and make you better than everyone else?

A person's opinion is a person opinion, if in his opinion he believes r chassis cars are better then that's his opinion

I don't understand why there is hostility between the two chasst types

Could I please ask what "crap" you receive when you turnup (pm me if you like)

The club tries to put on great events for everybody to come together as enthusiasts to enjoy our cars together in a safe environment

I've never heard this banter before R vs V and I think this is childish. Anyone that has an issue with either car simply should not have the privilege of owning a skyline IMO. It's time to grow up.

Howaitonaito it sounds like you would be more constructive to bring your concerns to the AGM and try and do something about them, than in trying to drag down a new and innovative event that the Exec are trialing.

If you read the club constitution you will see it clearly states we are a "Skyline" enthusiast club which covers everything that has ever had that nameplate since 1955. And whenever there has been an older or newer model than the more common 32-34 series it has always led to compliments and interest. It is up to the membership, you included, to make this club what you want it to be.

Agreed. This meet is about a bunch of people that enjoy cars, might have a few parts or just want an owners car show - if you're proud of your car then bring it along.

The event is not limited to just Skylines. We just happen to be hosting and coordinating the event.

It will be a great day out with lots of cars and enthusiasts of all generations of cars.

I have to agree with Duncan and Pezhead.

If anyone has a problem come to the AGM and bring it up, or PM an exec of the club and they can take it to the committee for you.

Everybody is welcome to SAU Events, it doesn't matter what you drive, just as long as you have the right attitude.

This event was set up as it was something that the members have been asking for, and the committee tries to accommodate all of its members needs, and takes member feedback seriously.

I was wondering this my self considering most events have a lot of Evos and S chassis cars turning up and they are always welcomed, I don't see why a V series skyline would be treated any different

I have never heard anyone put crap on any of the V-chassis boys at any event, it's been quite the opposite.

E.G. last cruise to Bowral we had a beautiful V36 turn up for the meet, it was the center of attention, apart from the 35 gtr. Nothing bad was said at any point of the day, the only thing I heard was "We wish more of these would turn up"

Now if you want to enter, than enter. If you don't, than don't that's your decision but don't feel unwelcome. Also that is for all cars.

So now can we please stop the BS and get back to organising this great event.

Ok so how many people do we have in so far? and how many people can't wait for it to hurry up :w00t:

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
