Hi all, anyway, this is a continuation of the SAU SA club thread sorta.

My idea was that we should all head out to an open track day (no drift) at Mallala to see what sort of a turn out we get there so we can hopefully get this club started.

Sorry for the short notice, but I kept forgetting about it and have been really busy with uni lately... :(

Anyway, finer details were requested, so here they are:

Gates open at about 8:30 and then driving starts at 10am. All drivers must sign on first so if you want to go out straight away, it's probably a good idea to get there before 10. Driving finishes around 4pm.

All drivers are divided into groups and then groups are run in 15 mins sessions.

For those not interested in driving on the day, entry is free and I think it would be a good opportunity to socialise the SAU people from SA.

For those wanting to drive,

drivers need Helmet with AS1698 APPROVAL by CAMS, clothing (non synthetic) with full length sleeves and leg coverage.

CAMS LICENCES MUST BE SHOWN AT ALL PRACTICE SESSIONS.

NON LICENCE HOLDERS MAY PURCHASE ONE DAY CAMS LICENCE ON THE DAY FOR $20.00.

The practice fee for 2007 is $90.00.

Taken from http://mallala.com/practicedays.htm

You do NOT require a fire extinguisher, battery triangle, or secondary bonnet latch, but the fire extinguisher is a good idea to have in the car.

You can drive as hard or as soft as you want. It is not a race and "racing" is not allowed on the track, overtaking is only allowed down the straights, so you dont have to worry about not being up with the pace.

If you're going to be driving hard, make sure that your brakes and cooling system are up to scratch. If they're not, make sure you know when you slow down for a while :wub:

Madaz is organizing the BBQ (cheers mate :cool:) and drinks. We just request that everyone bring a maximum of $10 to pay for all the food and drink. Prices should be finalised just before the date.

List of people attending so far:

salad (driving)

Cubes

gtrkiet + 2

GTR31 (driving)

thangLongz + 2

27 spectators

7 drivers

According to the poll, there's more drivers, but I'm not sure who they are...

If your name's not on the list and you are coming, please tell me and I'll add you to the list.

If you're on the list and you're not coming, also tell me, this way we can try get an accurate idea of numbers and plan accordingly, especially for BBQ + drinks.

If there are any other questions about the day, feel free to ask, and I'll try answer them as best I can.

Cheers

Showza

I'm sure we can arrange another one and actually organise it better too :cool:

I'm definitely going out to this one though as there only two other scheduled days (10th and 16th of Nov) for the rest of the year and I cant make either of them (exams on both days).

Unless people wanted to do the same thing for a drift practice?

I didn't think that would work as well though, as not that many SAUers seem to be interested in drift, the environment isn't as friendly as a circuit day (in my opinion) and entry is not free for spectators.

But if anyone is keen on that idea, the daytime drift prac is on Dec 9th. Should be similar times, but different format obviously.

i reckon i will come out Luke if you want come in my car and save your car for when ever or follow or whatever :(

not sure i've met you yet salad so will be a good opportunity

i've printed out a list of user's and started getting who's interested just from the people who have been @ the last cruise just gone on Friday and i've put all the people who registered interest from dinner on it to talk with them some more about it

we all ready have one sponsor probably two and i can talk to you in more detail about that

Yeah, I'm always keen to meet people :)

I'm not sure that I'll be driving at this one anymore, all didn't go as planned over the weekend and now have to spend another weekend pulling things apart :(

So would be cutting it damn tight to get out there driving... Will give it my best shot though!

but as you say whether you drive or not its good for us to get out there and support who is so i shouldn't see this as stopping you from attending your own planned event ?

will give you more time to organise your BBQ :(

as Joel has told me Luke we drive through the hills, our cars are fine for that so just drive on the track like your in the hills with the confidence theres no speed cameras.

As for BBQ, well, umm... I'm really not sure how to go about it!

umm i think its hotplate and snags = bbq :):( you bring the salad :P;)

ok salad ill see if my mate wants to come out hes got one of these >> 4056.jpg

ill round up about 2kg of snags and bread and sauce and see how we go from there Luke can bring drinks if thats ok maybe those little buddy bottles @ woolies ATM

depending on how many come we can all chuck in $2-3 if so i may just get the drinks Luke to make it easy

Yeah, we need a good indication of numbers. By the thread now, it looks like 8 people and Joel (Cubes) will be there too.

So come on guys!

Madaz: Cheers heaps for organizing BBQ, I'm utterly hopeless at that sorta stuff, and the lack of time thing. If you want, I can go grab a slab of cans of coke and an esky on the way? Figure I should probably try do something for what I'm organising... :down:

Oh, and what time was everyone thinking of heading out (non drivers)? I dont think I'd be that keen to get there as the driving's about to start, so I'm thinking about lunch timish? Like 12 or so?

Everyone elses thoughts about this time?

    • 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.
