It does take a few $$ to get the club off the ground with cams affiliation,

Did you not get my PM i sent you about this?? I had no reply so i've done nothing about it, But if you want me to check it out, let me know!! It can't hurt to have club sponsors to pay for some things like this!!

Sorry bud, I did get the email and then completely forgot about the offer due to other commitments at the time.

Best bet is to drop Madaz a pm as he appears to be the man sorting all the sponsorships etc.

I'll forward part of the pm on to him for you. :blush:

Yeh no worries fellas, I figure its best to put a few sponsors on board to help pay for things and possibly give out discounts, even if it were to be $200 each per year from 5 different places, which could pay for the cams affilliation, and put a bit of pocket money into the kitty for the club. I will check out a couple more joints also and see what thier feedback is! For the sake of a couple of hundred a year i think it's quite worthwhile for a couple of local businesses.

We need to have a firm idea of just what we're offering sponsors, and getting a commensurate amount of $$$ or member benefits in return...

Are the initial costs so high they couldn't be recouped via the first round of membership fees? I know this is highly dependent on number and fees.

...if they can cover it then holding off on sponsors until there's a membership base might be a good idea.

An exception to this might be finding just the one (or two) understanding benefactors willing to kick something in at the start but not after something concrete in return.

They aren't that high; I feel they can be recouped via the first round of memberships fee's.

BUT.. If a sponsor is willing to help get the club off the ground then by all means it is welcome. :P

And also it could make it cheaper for everyone.......... I said "could" people....LOL But hey if its $5 cheaper then it might make it just that more affordable to the tight ass and or lure more people into join!! as long as there is a "members only" area for certain club updates and everyone is aware of the moneys in and moneys out then all should be fine!!

Thats it.. Anything is welcome.

There will be a members only area; the club will be a non-profit org so anything that comes in will be pushed back out for the members. :P

Those on the committee will know where the $$ are going etc..

at the very least sponsors will get the company logo on our club shirts and wherever we wear them thats advertising their brand so for instance @ small car sunday if there is 20 club members all wearing the club shirt becuase its a club event and i imagine that would be a informal rule then if there is 300 other people at the event alot of people are going to see that SAU are sponsored by Xtreme Clutches and wow i want an Xtreme Clutch now because Hostile is running one with 300ATWKW

sort of make sense

Just a heads up for cubes and madaz,

You to could save yourself alot of time and effort as there is a possibility the you can get the Nissan SVD constitution and change the name of the club to Skylines Australia. A change of name was being looked at before the club went into hiding. This would also means that you aquire the funds that have been sitting in the SVD bank account for three years now which would help get the Skylines Australia club off of the ground.

Have a think about it and let me know and i will do all the chasing to get the stuff for you to make this work.

Cheers

Just another thought. How wide do we want memberships to go with this? Im thinking that there are quite a few members of the www.r31skylineclub.com forums that would be interested in this, but may not be aware of it. Quite a few there members there are getting into drift, track days etc, that are members on here, but don't necessarily read here often.

I would be happy to make a thread on the R31 forums and direct people to this thread and the dyno thread to grow interest in the club.

Cubes/Steve, would you be happy with this? (as you are at present the primary organisers)

well im apart of both, and definately interested in using SAU instead of SCCSA to get my Cams licence through. So yeah, im in for this, i may have already said it a few pages back though.

I've been waiting for just such an EOI to appear for a few years now :ermm:

I remember asking Joel (and a couple other SAU SA regulars) about looking to set something up as it would not only be good for the SAU as a whole, but also for local people to have some events to attend, sponsors, discounts and something basically yo call their own as every other state has something setup :)

Im more than happy to lend a hand if you need any set up questions on top of the Troy has/is etc etc

I am planning on being in SA in the next 2-3 months to visit a friend so happy to meet with the interested parties and go over some things in person as its often easier that way.

I'll do a larger info write up on how we setup SAU-Vic back in '04, and challenges the SAU-Vic Committee faced in the first 18months which basically makes or breaks a club.

Just some numbers to view

Initial signup we have 80 members, within 12 months we'd more than doubled the membership base :(

Cheers

Ash

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
