hey s13drifter,

Still a bit of work to do to get SAU up and running....looking at next month probably.

As for an ACT chapter...well this was discussed...and it's not totally out of the question. What we're doing (for now) is combining NSW/ACT.

We'll see how many ACT ppl actually become official members of the club. If we get the numbers...we can maybe look at forming our own chapter.

We would need several ppl serious about forming a committee....a President, two Vice Presidents, a treasurer & a secretary at the minimum. These ppl would need to be dedicated and available to help & put a bit of work in :cheers:

So, for now we will join up with the NSW guys and organise our own events and stuff in the ACT. If any of you guys have any ideas or want to organise stuff here...then go for it! Just cos we're part of the NSW chapter doesn't mean we have to wait for NSW to have a dyno day or whatever.

How many of us do we need to form our own chapter

Was looked at several years ago but fell down in a few areas

1. NSW president at the time did not want it, told us to go ahead and form our own club.

2. There was little interest in forming a separate formal club and doing the required paperwork each year etc.

Considering most tracks are in NSW and the NSW club currently do a good job ofrunning track days etc, there's little reason to form a club to run these events.

If you want to have a cruise, just post it up, you don't need to be part of a club

We already have meets on Fridays, though somewhere warm and with food would be good.

ACT has a banner and a shade tent for car shows already, participation has been a bit low recently. Those organising such events in Canberra have tended to doit once and never do it again, considering the non-constructive feedback from some people who don't even turn up, I don't blame them.

However considering the importance of the territory and growing numbers of skyline owners, I'd like to see a chapter, formal or informal. Considering the growing power of SAU having a presence in the territory where the high level decisions are made could be beneficial if SAU look at taking a proactive long term approach to improving issues for skylines. In the short term maybe meet up at a club a couple times a year to discuss and pass feedback through someone like Shell who can then take it to the NSW meetings.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
