I think it's great that the Australian team are getting together formally as a club. Why? Because even though I'm a so called "Sheep rapist" etc, I'm pretty attached to my Aussie family in Queensland.

Yes there is heaps to learn from the NZ SDU thing - I've never been involved in the exec side of the club but have watched it as a observer and member for a long time. All clubs make mistakes, have issues etc, that is why there is such a huge market for business books - learning from others experiances. Look at what SDU did last year - moving from a national club into regional bodies (I'm still not sure of the benefits of that)

There are plenty of clubs around which work differently, some with mailing lists, some with just informational websites. I wonder how clubs existed before the net became popular?

The trick now is to take the strong enthusiam shown here and turn it into something concrete ASAP. Pick up the ball and run with it.

Go for it!

I would just like everyone to know that it was GraemeWi who first told me about SDU so if it wasn't for him I would NEVER have met you guys....so I am eternally grateful to him (and you probably all want to kill him) but anyway.... :lol:

i think NSA is cool. The real problem is that there will be costs to set up the club - i think the only way to do this is get a person or few to back it to start with. A good aim is to get as many members who have never been to SDU before.. so we can really good a good amount of people.

I still like Skylines Australia the best

my thoughts was it was better to keep it as simple as possible, and I think everyone know's it's a Nissan.

But that said, i really don't care...as long as we start something!!! :( If everone goes with Nissan Skyline Australia then that's fine, I'm in...and keen!!!

actually just a thought...would we have to get permission at all to use the word Nissan?? From Nissan Australia or something?

i've just came across from sdu and didn't even know this discussion was going on....i've been working on trying to get a little draft of different options for setting up a skylines club in australia. if everyone wants i'll try and post this up on the weekend and people can add to it or if it's crap just turf it.

at the present time what is everyone's opinions on having a club in each state but they all share the same name, forum etc. etc.

one idea is to have a club in each state with a president, vice pres. etc. which shares the same name, forum and stickers etc. and then have a couple of people that make sure each state is run in the same sorta way...they would kinda help in making member numbers standard throughout each state, and also possibly organising annual gatherings between all the states if possible.

the job of president, vice president etc. in each state would be to keep records of all members and looking after membership fees, getting discounts at certain shops, workshops etc., and organising social events.

this is only an idea....i'm just throwing my ideas around cause I really want something to happen while everybody is really into getting this going.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
