Well I cant see that SAUSA members bar under your name...

if you want to discuss anything else with me, i sugest you do it via PM

Why? Because you were cowardly enough to suggest that my 'feedback' was 'childish' and despite my request for you to clarify your accusation, you chose not to address it, and I have to assume that you're a coward, full of hot air, piss and vinegar. No substance, commitment or backbone.

Theres no confusing fishpaste and a book. For a start, a book has a spine....

Of course I'm human, I could be wrong. We'll let third parties be the judge..

Go Go! Go Dohmy Go! Go Go Go! GO! DOHMY BE GOOOD....

cant resist.

And then decide to pay for an SAU membership just so they can get a discounted track day at the expense of those who are already members. I'm sorry, but I do not agree with the reasons given. I didn't join SAUSA to subsidise wannabe drifters at the expense of skyline enthusiasts who want to improve their driving skills.

im sorry, discount?

200 bucks is 200 bucks no matter which way you slice it.

adrians track day back in august was $192.50, with, i think, $92.50 required as a deposit. this sausa(ge) track day is $200, with a $100 deposit required by march 1st.

discount?

what category do i fall under? the wannabe drifter? or the skyline enthusiast?

After all, if someone is only joining to get a cheap track day and doesnt care about every other aspect of SAUSA, should we cater to them rather than those who embrace the scene as a whole?

im not joining to go to a cheap track day (see above). nor am i joining to support sausa(ge). ideally, id join gsr/evo with chad, but because i want to enjoy a track day with my friends, im fronting the cash to get membership.

and i know itll shit you off, you dont want us wannabe drifters in your club. :blink:

now wheres that post about person of the year...

SASupra will be free to attend should we not be able to raise the numbers needed. but at this stage it is for members only

the amount of enthusiasm that i have seen on this site for a trackday is quite amusing as i have spent YEARS trying to drum up interest on the Supra forum for a club trackday and have only gotten less than eight people signed up each year.

this is a compliment - well done on filling the spots so quickly. i'm sure that this test bodes well for more SAU trackdays

Heslo - when you get a chance can you provide banking details for us to pay the deposit.

Cheers.

Sure mate... here's the details for everyone. Be sure to put your username as the reference so we know who the money belongs to :blink:

Unless there are any more helpfull discussions on this topic pls don't demean this event with posts referring to drag racing and how much better it is than track days.

Stay on topic pls people.

the only thing i would like to add is perhaps a better way to do things in the future, how about listing SAU:SA events in the SAU:SA section of the forums first, so that only SAU:SA members can read/enter them and then move/repost the topic in the general section to then advertise and invite non-members along to them after the nominated time period?? (and that way ordering by paid members/willing to pay members/the rest of us chumps would be easier)

I wasn't able to attend the exec meeting the other night due to work commitments but you do raise a valid point Luke that probably warranted more discussion on the night.

Unfortunately, as Luke has already stated, the level of interest has caught everybody off guard (which should be viewed as a positive for the club) and in hind's sight, maybe an ad in the "member's only" section 1st may have been somewhat fairer for current members.

However, the "member's preference" arguement stands, and as a committee our job is two fold;

1). To care for existing members and attempt to cater for their needs and 2). To grow a successful members list which leads to a strong club with more resources.

Now it's time for everyone to take a deep breath and rest assured that all the raised points are valid ones and will be taken into consideration for the next track day........as there will be many more, judging by the level of interest. :blink:

Rest assured people, this is NOT the one and only track day SAU-SA will be hosting. If you don't get in now, I'm sure Luke will keep your names on record for future track days. Especially given the successful response to this one, we will have another track day organised in the not too distant future.

:P

Nene and/or myself will check the bank transactions at the end of each week, up until the 1 March deadline. Then confirm payments with Luke's list.

:cool:

$145 sent from 'Tangles sau' for membership payment + $100 track day deposit.

now to get by on 11$ for the next fortnight :P

seeing as this seems its gonna be a fair regular thing for sausa, ill prob join.

id rather do track days with this mob of people i semi know, over a club ie: evo/GSR that

people join just for track days...

meh, thats my opinion.

ill be out at this to watch this one.

Good stuff bud :) If you are good at cooking a BBQ and want to lend a hand you're more than welcome to help out on the day. :O

ill get my membershit organised in the next few weeks. got too much other shit to cover this pay. and thanks to luke for organising someone to get the 200 down there and back on the day. :)

+1 on both counts

Hopefully I can have a go at the next one :)

also the members that haven't been able to go on this particular track day will get first preference on the next.

we will notify the member base differently next time and all comments will be taken under revision.

if this is as successful as it looks and members really do want more then i don't see why we can't put a few more on this year (subject to talking to the Executive Council)

also i hear there will be a free BBQ for SAU members, mmmm sausages'n'bread

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
