ok so this whole brainstorming thing about cruises and events isn't really taking off!

There are some great roads around melbourne! All it takes is one person to go I'm going on a cruise on this date and i'm going on these roads and I'll end up here and I'm leaving at this time. And there you go...you have a cruise organised!

excuse me for trying to help!

so let me get this straight you want to go on a cruise, but you don't want to put in the whole 2 minutes it takes to organise one!

so you are quite happy to go on a cruise just as long as someone else organises it!

i don't see why everyone who is not a member is so keen to go on a cruise yet no one wants to organise one! Before SAU became an official club, they didn't have anyone to organise cruises for them so they did it themselves. I don't see how it is that hard to do that now.

i reckin a good cruise would be from melb to healsville across to noojee then across to inverloch to phillip island up south gippy hiway back to dandy not a bad trip and you can meet up and so many different places

just my 2 cents!

excuse me for trying to help!

Whats with the attitude? I simply said "why dont you organise one".

Since starting this thread changes have been made and I dont have the time to at the moment, thats all

You have no idea. I organise cruises all the time for the club I am heavily involved with at the momenth so dont give me your dribble about me not wanting to organise one.

You seem to have all these ideas too but wont organise one yourself but you can sit back and have a go at me :wassup:

Movie drive-in nights are always fun :cheers:  perhaps the non-members can organise one if they are feeling left out.  Personally I'm over the whole 'cruising' thing myself..

matt, Im sure ud go if Vicky "HERRXX" (who u conveniantly keep spotting) went :love:

Deesil, you see the problem is that people want things organised for them and don't want to put the time in to do it themselves (not aimed at you, I can see you are trying to help)

On top of that, they like to complain if enough isn't being done to keep them entertained.

I just took three weeks of my life and spent every spare second organising a Tsunami Show and Shine, spoke to the coppers, spoke to countless other companies and organisations, and generally busted my arse to organise something that I though a lot of Skyline people would want to go to. Show off their cars, put them up against the Commodore Club and generally have a good time.

I advestised it on countless forums, made up flyers, spoke to people in the street and at traffic lights and hoped that people would come along and support a great cause and a great day.

On the day, the Skyline turn out was dismal. I think we had a max of maybe 10 or 12 cars. How embarrasing do you think that was for me? Telling people that the Skyline Club will be there and hardly anybody shows up?

Full respect to those who did show up on the day and donated their money, eat some snags, bought some raffle tickets and pitched in to help with the BBQ and have a look around and came and have a beer with us afterwards. :cheers:

To those who always want something to do but don't want to do anything to organise it, this was the perfect opportunity. You could shine up your ride, talk to people about it and shoot the breeze on what was a magnificent day, there was even a cruise which started after the event to go on. But unfortunatly the Skylines Australia club looked pretty short on.

Apart from the fact that we ran the BBQ, helped out with everything and generally pulled more than our fair share of weight to make the day a sucess.

People need to either put up or shut up. Help out with the events or simply don't expect to have any.

Become a member and go on the events that the membership entitles you to, be covered by the insurance, get your CAMS license, get the discounts and have a ball.

If not, either organise your own or don't. It's up to you.

The committee members bust their arses outside work hours to make the club sucessful and try to keep everyone happy.

I'm about to organise a Dyno day at probably the very best Dyno facility in Victoria which I'm probably going to make a general event which you wont need to be a member to come along to.

I bet that when I ask for deposits for people who want to run their cars on the day, I'll get "maybe I wont be able to come on the day" "What if the weather's crap" and various other excuses.

You may also ask why you need to pay a deposit.... How can you expect a workshop to employ people on a Sunday to open their shop and run their $185p/h dyno if you aren't sure people will turn up?

The only people then who get egg on their faces are the people who bust their arses to put the day on and organise the thing and much as they can. Not the people who said they would be there and then didn't turn up.

I'm having a rant here, because I haven't had one for a while, but something sparked me on.

Sometimes it gets right up me that I spend so much time trying to do stuff for people and then when something doesn't get planned exactly to what one person wants, they get sh1tty and pipe up on the forums!

Anyway, Blah. That's my rant, and wont hear me rant very often about shit like this but today you got it.

BASS OUT

totally agree bass.

i tried to do a dyno day with deposits... everyone whinged about not having one for ages, and when i did organise it.

no-one would committ.

At least with the Club no around, we actually have people who DO wanna do things.

No just a pack of whingers on a forum

matt, Im sure ud go if Vicky "HERRXX" (who u conveniantly keep spotting) went   :love:

LOL f.uck yerr! I would.. so would you :( she's a hotttiiie :Oops:

I always see her around... I think she's stalking me :cheers:

ok well for one thing, i do have an idea ok. My boyfriend is a member of SAU vic and so I know very well what it takes to organise a cruise because I have seen them organise them all! SO DON'T TELL ME I HAVE NO IDEA!

And for another thing, I don't want to go on a cruise...all i was doing is suggesting some ideas! And don't try and tell me it takes so much effort to organise a cruise because it doesn't!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
