There is already motorsport sponsors for the c/ship, so that should extent to anything further related to it as a value add rather than seeking additional.

Indeed DECA is different, and maybe not discuss this week... But DECA is the 'gateway' to motorsport for SAU Vic and the broader community. Lots started at DECA and are now on the track so certainly needs to be a part of the overall motorsport agenda.

There seems to be lots of rumours around about what is (or is not) happening to DECA itself... It would be good to see information surrounding that brought to members attention and also the sponsors. That comers back to the point around communication with member base, awareness and the feeling of involvement etc. Never know, someone might have a left field idea :)

Deca right now is up in the air. What was discussed in the wrap up thread has slightly evolved. Put simply, the future of deca is now out of our hands. Deca has allegedly been advised not to accept AASA insurance, meaning CAMS is the only option. AASA is aware of this and is working through it. We have overcome the issues we faced after the last deca and SAU Victoria has been invited back. The issue is that if AASA don't get up and we have to start running the event with CAMS then there will be some significant changes and increases in cost.

Once we know the outcome with AASA we will advise further.

We are working on other backup plans which could be pretty damn cool if they go ahead but they too will get revealed when we know where we stand.

Same. EVERYONE should get on it!

Some issues that can be raised:

- Lack of venues willing to accommodate grass root/club events.

- Bureaucratic/red tape issues for event organisers.

- Need for club track car registration to reduce costs.

- Noise restrictions at events.

also worth mentioning are that AASA licences (for eg national racing licence) isnt permitted at CAMS L2S events, even though its a step above the CAMS equivalent.

Would you believe I filled it out earlier this arvo and that's pretty much what I said? :thumbsup:

I let them have it, easy 700+ words in the open comments sections just on all of that and why it's so broken.

I would encourage everyone to do the same also. Let them have it, CAMS need a lot of hard honest truths.

Shared in the NSW Motorsport thread and the tarmac rally thread. :)

Seen the latest CAMS newsletter?

Come and Try Days - which can be incorporated into club regular events

CAMS offering support to Clubs to run "Come and Try Days" for more details we need to contact CAMS Sport and Club Development Officer on [email protected].

Is this something new, could we work this in to cover our passenger/driver training points?

I've never done circuit racing before and i got roped into doing this 6hr thing with a few blokes i know. Iv drifted the car heaps of times with zero cooling issues. Gotta hit up a winton fun day to get a taste of this circuit racing people speak of. Excited to say the least :woot:

This is why I will be applying for my sau vic membership this week ash. Iv been itching to get amongst it all now that I no longer drift. Fun times ahead!

Whens the next round ash?

Just follow that thread mate, 19th July is the next and it's @ PI

Bit of a break in June, fair call too, weather can be sketchy.

Foook yeah for PI :D

Oooohhh if I get my brake pads and stuff in and fitted before the event then i'm IN.

Membership sent in :)

Edit: Who's used the Project MU Club racer carbon/ceramic pads?

Edited by LTHLRB

I use Club Racers on my road registered car, they work from cold and they hold up for a full sprint session, readily available for my calipers - good enough for me.

I wasn't experienced enough when using other pads to advise whether bite/modulation etc is better with these.

    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer.
