Yes, correct, see you there! :mad:

Count me in for the photo shoot, looking forward to it, it will be my first skyline meet,hope the weather holds out, see ya all there!

Hoping the weather holds up also, early reports were for rain on Sunday, i hope they lied, or it passes.

As for the Police deal, they're usually pretty good down this way. And i like the membership idea, should any of you wish to, i'll have a bunch of forms there.

hey i am all for it :mad: my car is a stocker so i am good :upurs: hehe

Hey guys, good news, ive been holding back from telling everyone this as i wanted to make sure it was going to be possible.

At work on friday night i was a having a chat to a guy Paul ive gotten to know as we both owns skylines (he has a drift built sleeper r32) he was asking me about the car and i mentioned we had a photo shoot coming up soon, he was thrilled as soon as he found out as a friend of his is currently producing a documentary on imports through australia called "Full Throttle".

its about the import scene and showing the money people are putting into their cars and the various show/power aspects we are improving.

Its basically aimed at showing the good side of imports and their owners as responsible people, and aiming away from the Hoon aspect.

the documentary will air, hopefully on either ABC or SBS in the future.

they want to come to the meet and film the cars, maybe do some interveiws and take some detailed photos of the cars.

i was a bit sceptical about it at first but after a few conversations im seeing, he's a good guy and they are very keen to help bring out the good side of imports and their owners.

i can only see this being good for imports and especially the club!!!!

its not 100% set on stone yet, but if all goes to plan they should be there to film.

so fingers crossed all goes well and maybe we'll have our cars on T.V.(plates blurred of course, lol.

also good to se your coming along skylinegal!!! ive been wanting to see this car for a while now.

Andrew.

Andrew....

Sweet!To quote some the sphincter of the universe from some dud reality TV:"Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' ABOUT!"Keep us all in the loop with this one,A.-it'd be a great thing if it all goes down OK!

And gtir_94 and anyone else thinking the same bad thoughts:I hear where you're coming from-I was paranoid about getting defected(until I changed a few things...),but while I was rolling around with an immensley defectable car at one point,I really did find that it's how you drive your car,how it's presented AND how to check any attitude at the door IF(in my case WHEN) you got pulled up...Sunday is going to be a bunch of cool people(or whatever you want to call it)getting together to "quietly" enjoy their car club.I agree with Aurora:we'll be OK!

Oh;the reason my car has become "more legal"?'Cuase there's plans for it that'll mean I need as much stuff to be legal to drag away any attention from how much work has been done...I'm trying for big performance but street legal all in one package-it can be done,oh yes!Then if the Rozzers/Funstoppers/boys-n-gals-in-blue decide that they want to go to town,I've got nothing to sweat about! :D

There ya go gtir_94, the film crew can now film your car being towed hahahaha

Anyway, its better to have the cops there and admiring our cars for what they are, and seeing that we are/can be responsible, not everyone that owns imports are law breaking, dribbling, car hoons. And it'd take 'em all of 10 minutes to round up a posse and hound us anyway, so lets all be tall and care not.

I like the idea of being on TV, always thought I was mad max material...........mmmm mad max 4 with skylines instead of clapped out fords and vw's. Seriously though, any good coverage is positive for us.

yeah im really hoping it will happen, its only going to be a budget doco, but hey if we get on T.V SWEET!!! and as trident said, any good coverage is positive for us!!!

as i said its not set in stone as yet, so dont get to upsett if it doesnt happen, but fingers and toes crossed it does, and we get good weather!!!!

Hi everyone, Not wanting to put a damper on the shoot this weekend, but had a warning today that I thought I had better pass on. A guy that works with my husband warned him that there are some organised gangs around canberra that target imports. He knows a guy(yeah I know..sounds dodgy) who actually uses forum sites to get details of our cars in terms of specs, gets along to meets, gets a look under the bonnet, susses out what mods have been done etc and then will follow you home and then flog them. i am not suggesting that anyone on here is like that at all, please dont get me wrong, He reckons it has happened to some wrx's in canberra. I asked chris at EVO and he has heard of a group that will suss out what mods your cars have, but doesnt know of anyone whose car had been stolen. I just thought it was the right thing to do to let you all know, cos we all love our liners. There are some low lifes out there, take care.

lol yeah, its the skylinesaustralia/andrew forums, there are just a few people that arent named andrew we let join.

but were all suss!!! so its all good haha.

im taking down my specs of my car in the members rides section. if it is remotly true i dont want to take the risk of having my car stolen, lucky i have GPS though.

Back to the photo shoot:here's a heads-up for anyone wanting to take photos this weekend that aren't as knowledgable as gtir_94(not a p##s-take-his photos came out pretty good,I reckon):go and get the current issue of SPEED magazine.In the middle there's a section all about do's and don'ts of photo taking when it comes to cars...penned by some of the good mag' phtographers themselves.Might help us out a bit,I guess.

And as for lowlife thieving scumbags,maybe as a friendly gesture,when we're standing next to someone we don't know by face looking at various cars,introduce yourself!I pretty sure we all have a grasp on SAU nicknames/names/"handles".Not only will we be able to say "G'day" personally to people we only know in cyber-Skyline-space,but it might just spook off these idiots if we meet 'em face to face..."I'm LTS Jayce;and you are...?"

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
