Just wondering how one would go about joining Skylines Australia car club?

I know the thread above points you in the direction of the form that needs to be filled out.

But what I also would like to know is what the full cost is, involved in joining an what exactly do you get for your money when joining?

I did read somewhere, where you can pay like $55 and you get this discount thing and a sticker, etc etc. Then there is this $95 thing I think it is where you also get a shirt or jacket or something.

Can someone please enlighten me on what the full involvement is and exactly what you do get for your money?

$55 or even $95 is a bit steep to join a club if you get very little. After all, I'm sure most skyliners would agree that, that money could be better spent on the car if you dont get much for what you pay for.

Anyway! any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

as i remember (and unless things have changed)

$55 gets u into the club - stickers, member card, discounts from various sponsers (bob jane, mecury, bda, tuff toyz and some other places), access to members' sections and members' events

$95 gets u all of the above and SAU polo shirt with sponser embriodery.

Let me put it in simple terms. I pay $300 each for my tyres now. When my discount card rocks up later this week, I will pay $260 each or less. Join up.

They will ask to see your membership card however, so dont try and be a smart arse and just wander down saying your on sau. They gave me prices but wouldnt sell me the tyres until I was a member.

Certainly is QLD wide.

Most of our sponsors will give you some type of discount, that being fleet, 5%, 10% or 15%, depending on how much you are spending and what services you are getting.

I guess it depends on your own personal self and whether you want to join up. I know my "steep" $55 joining fee has paid for itself and beyond with being a member/executive of the club.

We run members only events which consist of cruises, breakfasts, skidpans, lvma's and social outings. We like to run our events so our members are getting something back for what they put in.

In September alone we have our Jamboree display, plus a lvma/skidpan and members meeting where you get to have your say where the club is heading. Not to mention the weekly social dinners which are normally held at Cactus Jacks at Loganholme on a Tuesday night at 7pm.

Along with the events, you are also offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise that is available to members only. The range currently consists of jackets, beanies, caps, lanyards and a soon to be released SAU 2006 calendar which is currently in the initial stages of production.

Our prices for membership are in line with all other states which makes this an even playing field for all members from different states so one can't say "they are paying less... why so" and the like.

I guess it's up to yourself whether you would like to join, but I have been lead to believe that the membership + discounts + events are well worth the intital $55 to join and the annual renewal of $25 each year.

Yes, I saved ~$200 on tyres last year, and saved ~$500 all up in costs from Mercury Motorsports in the last year too.

Plus had free breakfast at the Byron cruise, free parking up the top of the hill at the Byron cruise, entry into the upcomming LVMA/Skidpan day.

When I joined I was not an exec but put my hand up for doing something for the club, so really with the member support it means any member could stand for an exec position and have a greater say in how the club is run.

I am just really passionate about skylines and think that the investment I have made is very little compared to the returns I have seen.

Hi guys,

just wondering how long would it take for my membership to clear once i've submitted the forms and transferred fees. Just need the card, as i'm getting some work done at mercury and it'd be good to get the discount

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
