oh I forgot the other non-executive position of CAMS Delegate is held by yours truly.:)

He he - well there you go Dino, You'll have to stay involved with the club now :D

Hi Dino, re: the paste I did from the R&C - I just thought folks might want to know the process, cause I was just about to post a bunch of questions, but then thought, I'd better read the R&C. I think everyone is flexible with the way the club is evolving.

Good to hear from all the peoples about the elections -

Sorry to hear that some peeps are un-decided about standing again. I reckon the current committee has done a fantastic job. Forming the club committee, taking members, organising the bobbin head meet, starting the CAMS process, getting the Famous Classic Insurance thing going, - I'm sure there are many more things that I have missed too.

Well, if there are some spare spots that folks that aren't standing for, I'm sure there are plenty of keen takers to add some more value to the best car club in NSW - SAU.

We’ve heard from most all of the current committee and who will be standing – but what I haven’t seen is why I should vote for them (no offence peeps). Some members may also not know who has done what for the club in the past so reflecting on that may help the process too.

If I were standing for a nomination, I would be preparing a list of ideas, policies etc, to encourage members to vote or me.

For instance, as a member, these are the things I would like to see out of the club in the next 12 months.

* Recruiting more members - (this is the big one)

More members mean more benefits and more fun

* More member benefits - parts, accessories, services, etc (helps with above)

More benefits mean more members

* Some club merchandise - T-Shirts, Caps, Jackets, etc (more over time)

* Organising more events (cruzes, dyno days, club drag nights, track days)

* Incorporating the un-official SAU positions into the Exec committee (Newsletter Ed and Events Organiser)

* Club social outings - dinners, BBQs, pissups (no drink driving of course),

* Charity events

* Affiliations & strategic relationships with like-minded clubs, organisations and companies

(To help enthusiasts with EPA and RTA defection compliance and avoidance amongst other things)

* Group club entries into various car shows etc

* Various sponsorships to help the ongoing funding of the club and member benefits

* Club business cards for all members - (helps with recruitment)

* Virtual place to meet for club members (eg: private forum – Some of this list may be being planned, but I don’t know about it. And if I don’t, other members might not either)

* Roadmap for club future, with rough timelines (so members and potential members can see what’s being planned)

* Events Calendar - at least one event per month (encouraging as many as the Exec Committee to participate in these too)

* Finalise CAMs process (not much to go, I understand)

* Regular Exec Committee meetings with published minutes

* Raising the profile of Skylines and Performance Imports, responsibly

Just to name a few - - well, we can always strive for perfection right ????

Beasly> :)

So all that said, I might stand for a nomination, if folks are thinking along the same lines as me - that's of course is if there is an appropriate position that's available...(and I am nominated)

If not, that's cool too - as you prolly know, I like to express my opinions and I like to see things get done - So, if nothing eventuates, I can always help "keep the bastards honest...." he he :D

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
