Event:
2015 Annual General Meeting


Description:

The time has come for the AGM, once again we will hold it at the Shannons Insurance clubhouse in Brisbane. During the meeting we shall give a brief overview of the club activities from the past year, hold Executive Committee elections and take member feedback and suggestions for the coming year. A more detailed post (available HERE) of available positions and nominations for those positions will be posted in the members section. Members and non-members are invited to attend but only financial members can nominate for and vote on Executive Committee positions.

In addition to the general business of the AGM this year we will also be discussing the possible winding up of the club at the end of the year. I urge any members (or non members interested in joining) to attend and voice your opinions about what you would like to see happen with the club.

Mega sad,still have my 33 after 13 years met heaps of great people whom I'm still friends with,young ones might of out grown out of grey imports not me ever,Japanese super cars have always been made beautifully and still are today,love em. :-)

The young ones haven't grown out of imports they've just grown out of car clubs. Facebook was the death knell for clubs and the local race tracks opening up their gates to non club facebook groups had only expedited it.

It is particularly sad to see that you may be having to shut up shop as a club. I am new to SAU but have been a member of car clubs for years. There is no substitute for a good club outing with friends and members. Car clubs have and should be the backbone of motoring enthusiasts.

I feel that way too Matt but sadly the current crop of skyline owners get everything they want from a Facebook group and see little point in joining a car club.

Hey Mike

Ignore my ignorance what do you mean in regards to Facebook group.I am probably the only one in the country not on this site.

On Facebook you can create groups and invite people to them, similar to a forum but there is almost no way to find past threads. It's just a way for them to feel part of a community without having to pay membership costs. This coupled with qr allowing anyone (not just car clubs) run a halthappy laps people no longer see the value in joining a club or attending events.

Not the only one Andrew maybe there are 2 of us ,My boys talked me into a Facebook organised QR day before i joined the club ,it is something i would only do once ,The SAU days are so much better ,safer and more fun !!!!

well i did mention that this might happen last year when hardly any members attended events that the club put on.I personally like to be part of a club,i do attend events put on by other facebook clubs and car clubs just to mix with other car lovers,but theres nothing like belonging to sau qld. Unfortunately to many members like the fact that theyre in a club,but dont support the club,by not going to club events put on for members it will kill off this sector of sau.Not progress in my option. :( I hope this doesnt happen.

I'm only new here but I'll be sad to see the club go , I really enjoyed meeting you guys the other day I hope it was a sign of many more great days to come!

Also some one mentioned a member only section of the QLD sub forum, how do I go about getting access to that?

Join the club, there's a pinned thread in the main Queensland section with everything you need to know.

I've already joined the club , though i never ended up with my membership card ( got the other stuff though) or the QLD member tag under my username :S

I'll have a look into it mate and get it sorted. Sorry.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
