I'm sure everything will be cool but I've been on the committee of a club that had very poor attendances and it was really frustrating organising sh*t and no one rocking up.

...

im hearing ya i was the team captain for a gaming clan little different but same thing i would book servers and organise a practise for noone to rock up... moderate the forums post up war dates for very few people to reply saying they could make a war

get to war days wondering how many people will actually turn up

we ended up getting kicked of the ladder twice due to forfeits least there no ladder in the car club :thumbsup:

I'm in for sure.

But I think some people are getting ahead of themselves, track events need heaps of planning and I know from experience many people love to argue about events but very little actually do anything on the organisation side of things. I'm sure at first people will do it, but for how long? As someone said earlier the Falcon GT club has over 100 members and hardly any rock up to meetings etc. so it needs to be determined who's in and who's "in" because there's no point in getting the club going with 50 members in year 1 and 10 the next.

Maybe have a few trial meetings etc before we become and official club?

Obviously we'd have to get the club off the ground first, and if nothing else it'd hopefully be a cheaper way to get a CAMS license in the beginning, as you say there should be enough momentum at first to organise events but of course for some people "the passion" (to steal a phrase from Shannons) will wane and that's when new people will need to step up to the plate.

Members can't expect that those on the committee are in for a life-long commitment to "organise sh*t" for them, if a small number of members aren't willing to do more then any club will fail, the Falcon GT club has obviously got some lazy arse members.

Conversely you can't expect members to sign their lives away, if we had 50 members in year one, and bugger all the next then so be it at lest we've had one good year which is a darn site more than we have now.

The club doesn't all have to be about track days, I know there's plenty of Vic members who are in it for the social aspect, i.e. bbq's, official road-trips and cruises (where non-member drivers can't attend due to club insurance reasons). We already get good attendances at them so provided membership is reasonably price (not something we should get too hung up on right now though) and the events are good I can't see why we wouldn't attract enough people that way alone.

At the moment its all good.. The cams info provided earlier was awesome; saved me hunting it down.

Waiting to hear back from Troy when he's got a little spare time. So until then we will just hang off a little.

Yep, Troy's getting back to us end of the week or so, so we should have some updates for you guys then :P

Sorry, I think I've missed something here, who's Troy and what "updates" are waiting to hear from him on? :D

Troy is one of the SAU-VIC club Execs. We've asked him how to go about setting this whole thing but as we'd like to run it like SAU-VIC as they seem to be doing very well :P

I guess we forgot to mention that before... :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
