rod, i now like the idea. gimme sponsors and lots of em.

i would like it to be a sister club of SDU, but not actually a branch of SDU so we can have as strong, or as weak (or severed) ties as we like. Theres a good reason for that which i wont voice.

Skylines Australia would be the go i reckon

youse know im always up for club action, and im happy to be an official in the club and do whatever.

gimme free skidpan rod, gimme now! :(

hmm. I hate to be the one who says this, but i've noticed that everyone who has posted has refered to the club as Skylines Australia but the votes went to Skylines DownUnder. I'd just like to re-emphasise that it's not about what name the club falls under, but rather being together and enjoying everyones company and having the club move forward..... :(

You guys/gals are doing a great job or forming everything together... now is there anything i can do..... :wink:

Well It's a skyline club, so i think having a skyline should be a pre-requisite for membership. We could have 'affiliates' - people we allow in the club because we like them and they are skyline enthusiasts and they are good for the club. (emphasis on GOOD FOR THE CLUB) otherwise its just anyone who likes skylines, which i think we should steer clear of. Ryan sure hasnt been good for SDU.

Slip,

I don't agree. Just have one kind of membership for everyone. Have an associate class for the competitions when they start up.

Ryan sure hasnt been good for SDU.[/quote:d8ce83933e]

wrt the above comment, suggest you add an avatar/comment as to whether you are kidding. :(

er in my post i was saying have people as proper members if they are good for the club and dont have a 'line. i dont know, they may have some knowledge of skylines, have a 240z with an RB20 or something. Why would we want (emphasis on want) ryan in a proper skyline club. He hasnt got a car, and i dont see any big contributions from him. I say the same about BOOSTA who is a friend and always comes out with us. Hell yeah he would come on cruises and stuff and be around, but I wouldnt exactly say he was a 'member' till he signed up with a car. This is if we are going to do the proper club thing.

as far as i'm concerned, he does have the two contributing factors a person needs to become a member.

1.money

2.enthusiasm for the skyline

period.

the fact that he doesn't have the car would mean he is only an associate member, but still a member at that. if he does break the rules and act up while at puplic places when representing the club and other such scenarios, then he's out along with anyone else that does the same. simple

you forget that we are here primarily to enjoy ourselves and promote the skyline. :(

over

Ryan is always happy to help out. If you had not noticed he also mods the Car Audio forum.

So he pissed off a few people on SDU...big deal!!!

So what if he doesn't have a Skyline. If I sell mine will I get booted from the club?

Have the club open to ALL who are interested in Skylines. If we are going to have a proper club lets start thinking in a mature and sensible manner and not let personal bias get in the way, otherwise the club is doomed from the start. :(

I agree, as along as you show support for the club and car and don't bring either into disrepute then fine...come on in.

It would probably be limiting the size of the club by resticting it, as soon as people find out about the quality and enjoyment of owning a Skyline weather is be the first GTR in 1969 by Prince or the latest skyline concept from renault...it only increase the actually cars in teh club that are skylines.

I think we can drawn the line on WRX owners maybe ??? hehehe

Would it be jumping the gun to expect to see a club Super Sprint Championship (which of course should only be open to Skys) next year ???

Maybe 3 or 4 rounds ? four classes ?

umm slightly. we have to get everything of the ground first. maybe a trackday or two early next year. have to get a feel for things and build up a healthy bank account before we can venture into sprints and other motor sport events.

i'm gonna be pushing for a national meet by early 2005.

*a dream develops*

Here you go guys, have some opinions.

I currently do not own a Skyline, it's still on my "Next to buy" list.

I show great enthusiasm for the Skyline, as my friends how I drool everytime I see one on the road. The car is god. :(

I would be more and grateful if you all would allow me to become a member of "Skylines Australia" or whatever the name should be in the future.

Would coming to cruises, events, maybe even a few track days with my current car be acceptable ?

I think there should not be any bias placed on distinguishing members just coz they don't have a Skyline (yet!) ANY skyline enthusiast should be able to join.

What do you all think??

Don't worry dude. you will be able to join. anyone that wants to can join for that matter as long as they are a skyline enthusiast.

i'm sorry but by the looks of things if you don't have a skyline you will only be an associate member. this is not by any means meant to discriminate. you get all the rights except for a select few such as discounts at a sponsors business (you don't need them anyway as they will be skyline related) and track days/meets.

cruises, you are more than welcome to rock up in anything you want.

hey, nothing is set in concrete yet so things will change. if you don't like how we are doing something, speak up now. at the end of the day, it will be your club as much as anyones.

Aww looks like im being partially excluded :(

The Skyline is basically the king of its genre. The Supra is basically toyotas answer and then there is the rx-7.

Ok all but the rx-7 are basically the same just different badges.

Does this also include s-13s which in some aspects are better than the lines anyhow?.

Ok Ok im having a whinge but i think it is a bit dissapointing that i wont be a full member just cause i have a toyota badge.

Im not saying every man and his dog should qualify but arent we all in the same boat in the end?

Then again the club is called SKYLINES****

    • 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.
