For sure....with the new and improved V

Excellent mate!

Group is getting bigger :)

Would like to check out a v35 a bit closer then a picture too.

Just incase someone gets there and doesn't know who to look for or gets lost, my number is 0421551710 and my name is Jarrad.

Good to see there is abit of interest..

Either way, will be a nice chilled Arvo...

Maybe a stockton drive would be a good spot to go afterwards for abit of a run.. Probably get some nice pics there too with newy in the background... I can bring my DSLR..

Title looks like it's offfical SAU meet up..

If we want to have an official SAU Newcastle meet up how should we go about it so we dont upset anyone?

We are outsiders and obviously are going to have separate meets to alot of the Sydney based SAU crowd, but of course we want to do it all right :)

Speak to anyone on the NSW elected committee to perhaps bring up at the next meeting or in there super secret forums and they will see if there is a possibility to fit it in the calandar.

I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. You could even make a day of it and have Sydneysiders cruise up for the day to meet up for some lunchin.

Any of these guys will do.

Thanks for the input,

I think this has been taken the wrong way though, most likely by my choice of thread name.

The idea was not to start an official SAU newcastle club / event etc.. the idea was basically to get peolpe in newcastle and surrounding areas that are on SAU or SAU NSW members together to provide some networking, and maybe get some local meets (anyone from anywhere more than welcome, but all newcastle based etc).. hence the SAU newcastle name, although if this is against rules or confusing / upsetting people, we have no problem changing the name or removing SAU from any of the thread titles to not mislead / misdirect people, and/or inappropriatelty represent something we are not.

this has come about becasue as much as i love going to sydney and especially SAU NSW events (which i plan to deffinately contiune doing, i actually have my car entered in and supporting the SAU group at this weekends The Low Down Showcased car show), its not easy for us to come to every small gathering that i would like to in the syndey area, just trying to start up similar things in the newcastle area.

As mentioned above, Matt has made contact with the correct people and hopefully this all gets sorted with all parties happy.

Cheers,

Anthony

I think you are taking this a bit to seriously. I know it's not official, I read your thread in full.

I was just mearly pointing out the fact that the title may look misleading to some.

We used to have a coasties meet up few years back which was very popular but unforunatley due to some unrelated sau members the meet was shut down.

It's a shame that there aren't enough members up there to make up numbers for a offical regular meet.

D_I_F it was just the comments in other threads that had us concerned, felt like maybe we had stepped on some toes or upset people which is the last thing we want.

We want to promote the SAU community in Newcastle/Central Coast areas and by doing so follow the guidelines and eventually we may have enough people to create the regular meets like the ones in the past. The few guys that are keen on this event are not interested in any behavior that would reflect on SAU poorly and the last thing i want is any negative attention with my car after finally getting it running 2 years later, we are happy to have unofficial meets etc but we will need to have more threads for each meet, the idea of the title on this thread would be more so to attract the local guys and see if we can get something together :) (Make sense or am i just dribbling lol)

I cant wait to be involved with as many SAU NSW events as i can, have entered Texi, Marulan and probably the Nats as well...... Bring on the good times :D

Oh, and bring some of your Sydney peeps up to say G'day :P

Ok cool, I was under the impression it was vice versa that's all..

Seems we are on the same page so all good.

What other threads?

Have we upset someone?

We are all good mate, just a few misunderstandings etc, nothing to worry about.... This thread may change title soon just to save some confusion in regards to Official/Unofficial meets which is all good :)

The event is still on and is going to be fantastic :yes:

Awesome news mate! It should be a good day to catch up.... :yes:

Anthony - May be a good time to start getting some firmer numbers over the next week so we can book a table out the back just incase there is something on at the same time etc.... Just to be safe :)

On that note, if you are coming can you please let Anthony know if it is +1 etc so we know how big the table is going to need to be?

Hey Matt, I'm a little hesitant booking solid number as its such a casual meet, I might give them a call tomorrow and give them a heads up that I will turn up with 10 to 20 people or something?

Just that it's hard to tell numbers, and the amount that are keen to eat as well etc?...

What you think?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
