As a member of SAU-Vic if im approaching a place where i source parts from am i free to start discussing support of the club? Sew the seed, measure interest? Or shut up and suggest it to someone on the committee?

I ask because next week im off to get some new pads from Race Brakes and in Sydney they do a stella job of supporting the SAU boys & gals. So makes sense if everybody sources their RB74s, Pagids, DBAs, AP gear from them then we could as a club benefit.

Or is there a better palce down here in Vic for brakes?

Sponsorships are being handled by the committee, as we have made up a proposal brochure to present to potential sponsors. This explains all aspects of the club and outlines our goals.

Myself and Shan (funky money) are handling this, but as a committee we have so far decided (this may change) to hold off sponsors till later this year or early next year. This is to ensure that all other aspects of the club have been taken care of and are operating smoothly. It is also good to show potential sponsors that after only "X" amount of days/months we have "YYY" amount of members. I would also like to present a previous newsletter, just to show some form of documentation.

Please feel free to pass on the names and contact details to Shan, or myself, for any potential sponsors. Then as a committee we will decide wether we want SAU Vic to be associated with that particular company and pursue it as required.

PS: Race Brakes has been on the "potential list" for a while :).

We will all be grateful for any other suggestions.

Yer, sponsors are coming before the official start year of the club (2005-Feb)

there are heaps of potentials that have been spoken too, i've certainly spoken to 3-4 places anout various things.

More to come in due time i think is far to say on that, but leave it to the committee :)

Be nice if the car was actually in Australia though Dave :)

I've mentioned in passing what is going on with the club and got some good interested responses so Shan has the details. While the guys on the commitee do a great job, our help can't hurt because we are all in a position to benefit.

Geoff, we would appreciate all the help that members have to offer. But it is better to pursue potential sponsors with all the infomation. We encourage all members to scout around and establish wether the company may be interested, then inform them that you will pass their details on to the committee and one of us will organise a meeting and finalise the details.

We are all working towards improving SAU Vic and providing the best deals for SAU Vic members :D

which shits me to tears because I currently have 6 sponsors keen as hell to sponsor us, and the more we delay the more they look somewhere else. I've already lost the interest of one sponsor when I told them we wouldn't be taking any sponsor deals till next yr (they now sponsor full-lock). Getting best deals for members my arse. But then again... committee decisions have to be adhered to right?

    • This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it. 
    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
