If you want to join a club so you can do CAMS stuff, then come on down to the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club. Its built primarily around the Z cars, but there are many newer members with more modern cars - heck, we even have a member with an Astra :lol: and a past president has a Audi RS4 pocket-rocket.

Our next meeting is next Wednesday (Nov 6) at Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn. Meetings (supposed to) start around 8:15, but many people come earlier (around 6:30 - 7) for dinner in the bistro. If you join now, you get next year as well (we have a calendar-year membership).

Its just gone up to $55 (up from $50), and there's a once-off $10 joining fee. I think you'll be able to download an application at

www.ndsoc.com.au

For that, you get a magazine every month, and access to another source of technical knowledge. On top of that is a $89 CAMS L2S licence, which you would need even if SAV affiliated with CAMS.

We mainly do 'speed events' (sprints / hillclimbs) with the MSCA (Marque Sports Car Association), in fact we have a day coming up at Calder on Nov 10 (1/4 drags in the morning, sprint in the afternoon). Also, just last Saturday, we ran a driver training day at Sandown. And on Dec 1 (?) we are having a show-and-shine at Southbank. Around every Anzac Day, we go for a drive down the GOR to Apollo Bay, then up to Lavers Hill. And lots more stuff.

And you'll be entitled to enter events being run by other clubs eg Phillip Island sprints run by PIARC.

This is exactly what I envisaged for the Victorian Skylines Australia Club. Social meets, drag meets, track days, show and shines, etc but it seems like it's all come to a grinding halt in the last month or two.

R31 Skyline Chick: The club is setup in terms of incorporation but the rest is still pending. If I wasn't living interstate I'd volunteer to rego the ABN, open a bank account and set up a PO Box because once these little things are done the club can take memberships. And like meggala said, once we hit 30 or 40 members (that won't take long judging by the enthusiasm shown above) we'll get CAMS affiliation and then run some great events and meets.

At the moment we seem to be going through the motions and not going anywere, I think we need to bight the bullet and register the club. Over the time I have seen that people dont want to pay the money for a cams license and that has influenced them in becoming a member. I believe there should be two types of membership, financial & Licensed. The financial keeps our numbers up and allows people who wish to come to meets and cruises to do so , but are unable to paticipate in events were CAMS license are required at least they are given options. The only other option I see for club memebers at the moment to run special track events is to join clubs like the Datsun club or SVD wich think is a bit self defeative. We have the committee so why dont we start taking memberships. I would be willing to pay my money just to get somthing happening and then when we hit the magic number pay for my cams license .

r31 heaven your right the cams license is an issue I think we might do with out it for a while until we have 40 + member plus most of us dont have experiance in running event etc ok a Deca day or some thing is fine but no track days etc Blind elk has said to me and others that we are welcome to his clob the nissan datsun sporting assocaition ( I think) they have ben established for years and run around 10 events a year. I'll get some answers by the end of this coming week the club name is registered in vic we need an abn as well. but you r right we should jsut start member ship and take it from there.

nay way more later. I've been busy the last coupel of weeks so I haven't had much time to put into it.

cheers

It looks like we are going to have a good turn out at the drags on the 24th so we may all want to have a chat to all, and see what their thoughts are. For the first year just to get thing rolling if the membership fee is only ten dollars, just to get the financial members and to pay for any paper that will be generated for the year and get some form of sticker so it gives a sort of belonging, as the R31 Club has. Just some more suggestions, its a start.

Saturday I'm working at the Spring racing carnival :)

IF we can organise to get a few heads together to talk shop, then I'd like to put in an appearance on behalf of the R31 crew.

:D

(I'm also not too bad in the 'ideas' department :( )

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
