As the title states I'm just wondering what people want out of the club as of late.

Do you like cruises, social gatherings, texi's?

Perhaps somethin different to the above. Well here's your chance to have a say so we can start to plan and book next year's events!

More tech nights as promised (pref in Newcastle too haha). The top secret one would of been awesome if it was an Sau event and not the general public

Maybe a drag day or even a night? I'd like 4-5 runs to get a feel for it.

I'd like to see a few more official cruises, and to places other the putty rd, don't get me wrong putty rd is a great cruise but there are more places out there.

Love to see sutton rd again, I missed it this year but wouldn't next year and maybe another hill climb some where else to change up the Motorsport choices a little more which might attract more people in each event.

a bi monthly cruise, social lunch or what not. Cheaper tech nights that I can afford wild be great. More sponsors and perhaps make some business cards or flyers to put on windscreens to invite more people.

The tech nights are free!! How much cheaper do you want them to be, the club pay you to come?

Tech Nights? Say...

* Brake n Clutch

* Meguiars Detailing with loot bags

* Wheel Repair

* Sard/Denso or Fuel Pump mob

These

As said more cruises

Hillclimb at Ringwood maybe

Karts at E/C

In general just more events we can all be involved in as they seem very Sydney specific to me at the moment

If I got told that all I had to do was join up for SAU and then I could pay like $100 or $200 to go out on eastern creek with the club for a whole day and it happened like tri-monthly, I'd have joined up right away.

Look at properly established drift clubs; private track days for their crew. They're baws.

And the one argument that everyone uses against car enthusiasts that like to run their cards hard is to take it to the track; so why not?

Needs moar track days / texi's

Cruises / car meets are boring as bat shit. At least have a drive out to somewhere nice and have a BBQ or grab some pies. Everyone loves pies.

Keep on hooning SAU :thumbsup:

Edit: f**k yes; hill climb! Great idea!

High fives for you

Also; maybe a competition like the one that some other club had recently where they had to build a 13 second car for $1300

While I like the input I do have to point out that motorsport isn't that cheap folks. EC is a VERY expensive track to hire if you can even get on the schedule. Also they are outrageous on their skid pan hire as well. The only other clubs that run days cheaper than ours put twice the entries in and you only get 1/2 as much time.

If you want to drift come to a texi and go for your life. Plenty of people see our Texi's as our drift day and until the last one we weren't filling them up.

Keep the constructive discussion coming, I just want to be realistic about costs and club events at expensive venues.

Inter-club events maybe, might help to knock the costs down a bit.

My 2 cents is:

Timed track day, discounted, members only, once a year, run a comp, give prizes like shirts or hats.

group 1 unrego race cars

group 2 rego 4wd Turbo

group 3 rego RWD Turbo

group 4 rego NA

Texi (yes as yet I havent made one with a car yet)

Motakhana (ON GRASS)

Drags (if WSID cost to much to hire then lets do a unofficial member attack on a wendsday night, the benifit of this is if it rains we pay for nothing and organise another night)

Servicing days (get together for a BBQ and oil change, bleed brakes, minor maintenance type of stuff, and a Beer or a Scotch)

At some of these events we could have a swap meet to get rid of unwanted parts or pick up some bits and peices.

I'd love to run in an na class

once at wsid I saw a honda club get their own line up lane & runs on a wed night, wonder if we could organise something similar

servicing days sound sweet, I reckon we squat at a maccas carpark & spill oil everywhere out of courtesy

Would be great! haha nah I thought the tech nights were a few hundred bucks. but if its free then defs down for the next one.

    • Not noticeably. Arguably, the catless turbo is going to work harder in a different direction, as it will spool up faster, go to higher speeds more easily. Only if it was tuned in the original condition. If it was a stock tune, using the AFM before and after the cat/dump change, then no, no retune needed. If the car is running on a MAP sensor, then it might well benefit from a retune. It might even run a little dangerously without a retune, but it could quite easily be fine.
    • We had this blend that uses 98RON + 10% Ethanol which brought it to 100RON. It's no longer available anymore unfortunately.
    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
