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

    • 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.
