Hey ppls,

Setting up an SAU/SA club with a couple of other keen SA/SAUers has been niggling at me for quite some time.

For those that are not familiar with the other state SAU club events check out their packed year.

We don't have to have a year as packed as the above 2 event calendars but we would still have the usual:

Motorkhanas, Mallala race/practice days, AIR drag days (When it opens up), driver training days, social events, annual dyno day etc

Mallala and motorkhana race practice days don't need to be all out; if you wish, take corners hard but take it easy on the straights so you don't have to spend silly amounts on repairs, tyres and brakes.

An SAU/SA club like any other club does require one to become a financial member, what the costs involved are I have yet to find out.

I/we are currently talking with another states club to find out the ins and outs.

Its all about enjoying our cars for what they were designed for in a safe environment. :mellow:

Please post your thoughts and interest.

Sounds great to me! I would be more inclined to get my backside into gear to get the car track ready if I knew there were set SAU days for motorkana etc. I would be happy to help out where I can, but wouldn't commit to being on the committee. I have been a member of another car club for 10 years now, and due for a break from committee duties (7/10 years).

I'm keen Mr Cubes!!

Also peoiples you wouldn't need to enter/do everything, otherwise you'd be broke and sick of seeing everyone so much......lol BUT the more the merrier of course!

Cubes would this be an area of the SA section that not everyone can enter, because i'm assuming this will be a paying club, just like Sporting Car Club styles! as in you pay a membership and so on, and extra to get CAMS licence and so on! I do belive VIC and NSW are CAMS affiliated!!

Sounds good to me! didn't seem as there would be enough interest a while back, but now there seems to be a few more members, which is good!

If SA became an incorporated club that would be great. This has also been something I've discussed with the other state club members/executives for awhile & they seem to think we are pretty much there & was just a matter of time of getting the numbers & ongoing interest. So, I'm all for it Cubes.

Yes; just like the other states. :)

Exactly. Fingers crossed we can get something going this time around.

I'm definitely in. If we could get it as a CAMS affliated club, that would just be grande. We really need to start using our skylines like they're supposed to be used! :)

I think we should start it off by properly organising a time for everyone to just go out to a normal Mallala practice day and we can get a better idea of who is actually keen. Also just a fun day out to drive the car (as hard or soft as you want) with a great atmosphere. Get to put faces to names too and have a chat :D

More than happy to contribute $$ too cubes, but what sort of $$ would we be looking at (while keeping CAMS affilliated), any ideas? I see WA is $25 per annum, but are they CAMS affilliated?

Also, I would be happy for October 27 to be the first club track outing. Clutch will be done by then (finally) so would be keen to head out for sure! :)

Dang....

Been wanting something like this to happen ever since i started reading/hearing about the VIC and NSW track days!

Im deffinately down! But if that date sticks i'll be watching the first few events :)

Still have more goodies that need to be purchased until im "happy" for the car to come back on the road... That and it needs to go through regency :D

Either way im happy someone is finally gettin SA's gear together and getting things going! Can't wait to see how this all pans out!

Cost... I honestly have no idea. As little as possible, enough to cover costs etc.

Lots of research on my behalf of which I have Salad giving me a hand...

Any one else who may have a knowledge etc is more than welcome. :)

Just checked out the CAMS website, and depends on how many members we have:

1-40 members, $264 pa

41-100 members, $462 pa

100-200 members, $660 pa

So I would suggest we would probably on have around 20 paying members for a start. That would make it $13.20 per member. Found it on this form here: http://cams.com.au/downloads/paperforms/A-101.pdf

So I would think when establishing membership cost, want to keep it competitive to the cheapest CAMS affilliated club which is v-max at $35 per year (i think). So would have to look into the cost of meeting venue hire (monthly meetings), club account establishment, merchandise establishment.. I would think a fee of $30-35 per person per year would be do-able

Actually, as another thought. Shannons have rooms they let out to clubs for meetings, and they are located on South Rd just near the cross road overpass. The avoca hotel is just up the road for a meal before hand... Would be a good central spot for meetings I reckon. Parking right out the front of the venue to so can keep an eye on the cars during the meeting (I would imagine)

863-865 South Road,

Clarence Gardens SA 5039

Trading Hours

8:00am - 5:00pm Monday - Friday

Call 13 46 46 - 7 days a week,

24 hours a day

Letting a club room is a added cost that really grou needed. And central to who. My opinion is aussie pizza house on hutt st has seating and is more central but where getting a step ahead of our selves

Champ Hotwire..

Madaz,

Shannons is very central so an excellent choice for a venue.

~20-25km's from the people who live down south; and ~20-25km's from those up at Salisbury/North.

Pizza house could be a good venu to start off with until the club grows a little larger where it may become a problem.

Not getting ahead of our selves; all this has to be discussed. :)

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
