What is the criteria that needs to be met, to make an official sau event, be it a trackday or social style event?

obviously it needs to have a good chance of being finaccially viable, and it would need to go though the sau committe.

but what about insurance, what are the requirements there, and anyother requirements apart from help to make a day official?

I'm just curious, so that better suggestions may be given, if understood what is involved.

The club does insurance through AASA and CAMS. This is why ONLY official SAU:NSW events have public liability and thus can be called official SAU events.

Meeting the insurance requirements depends on the event type and how it is run. We know these organisations well and have established our credibility with them over the years.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you folks don't see.

Nope, Josh, even our "Official SAU-NSW Cruises" have insurance. You never know when something unexpected might happen, and the club risks getting sued due to injuries and/or damage sustained by an innocent bystander.

They can be Ruxis. I use to run motorcycle rides but the caveat was, I'm going in this direction and stopping at these locations, you are welcome to follow me as individuals.

On topic, for those who have family/responsibilities and live 6+hours there and back away, nearly everything organised is unfortunatly unavailable. Jim's dinners are awesome but 8 hours traveling to go to work the next day doesn't keep the mrs happy. However keep running 3 track days at wakefield a year and I'm happy. Combined with other clubs is fine. The yearly drag event in sydney sounds like great stuff.

sorry to keep this off topic,

but is anyone responsible if its an unofficial cruise and someone kills someone? will the cruise organiser be in trouble?

Could I have been in trouble whilst running an SAU Event like the R32 GTR 21st? No, whilst stipulating that all road rules and the SAU.NSW Code of conduct were adhered to. CAMs covered us.

On the other hand, the organisers of the R34 GTR 10th (ie Eugene and yours truly) were sticking their necks out if say, one of our 72 cars T-boned another in our convoy - even whilst stipulating that road rules be adhered to.

Neil our then President, brought my attention to that.

Actually the Xmas dinner this year would work better for more people on a Saturday night due to people work schedule

That has been replaced by Putty Rd for 2012 Brett; but I agree that a Sunday night is extremely taxing on us guests that have to come long distances.

I wonder if a Fri night would work better (whilst Sat is out of the question)?

In 2013, Seton and Bowe are agreeable to be Guests of Honour.

I think sau vic is part of an interclub championship which holds rounds during the year, maybe hit up one of them mexicans to find out how they do it?

lol mexians

The local car club up here has a Tri-Challenge with two other clubs each year.

It started as a way to support the two smaller clubs and has grown in numbers each year with a round at the three clubs circuits

Maybe SAU could do something similar with say a Toyota, Subaru and Mitsubishi club to boost numbers and help with costs

Four rounds with each club hosting one event say a Wakefield day then a drag day and a hillclimb and maybe a standing mile or klm at an appropriate location somewhere. Points awarded for overall places as well as classes with points also awarded to each club based on members results with a winner at the end of the year.

Drivers must compete in the same car and (maybe) class all year to be eligible as this would stop those with money spending big between events to score a win

Could also maybe have a combined cruise/meet at the end of the year for prizes etc.

This way the cost is only for running one event and you should get numbers at each event to make a profit for each club

Just a thought anyway

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
