In the end the result would be the same, each state would be responsible for itself. I don't understand why are getting so worked up about it, really. The NSW guys did look into it at the start when they got it going and it was discussed at the time.

There's really no point worrying about it, if people aren't happy with the way things are being done then I suggest doing it themselves. I'm not having a go at you, but i have been around here since most of this started, and pretty much everything was put in the open for discussion.

The club is meant to be a fun thing, and no offence, but if it's starting like this before we even have a club going it's going to end up in the sh*t real fast. We will all be one national club in a sense, it's just that on paper each state club will be seperate. Is it really that hard to understand ?

but still, everyone has there right to express there opinion, so surely you can see that is why i have started this thread... just to see ppls opinions.. im not asking is it viable or possible, just askingwhich they prefer???

i can see benifits of each.. so.. what is your opinion.. YOUR being keyword...

Well what benefits would we get out of running it as one national club ? In your opinion ? Because we will always be brought together by the forums and hopefully, eventually have an annual meet up. But we'll still need each state to have people in charge looking after it, i trust the judgement of of george and prank and the other guys who have looked into it and done it.

The other thread was closed for a reason, nothing positive will come of it. I really don't see any point in worrying about it.

I really don't want this to get personal ok, you're voiceing your opinion and so am I. I have not looked into it like they have, and neither have you. All state clubs will be affiliated and we will be a national club, it just won't be on paper.

You just need to calm down a bit, it's getting us no where.

Your both a pair of whinging bitches.

I reckon there should be none of this "club" ****, just a forum on the net and a whole heap of individually organised meets like the skid pan at mt cotton that occured recently.

My 2 cents. Which is worth heaps more than your 2 cents. Ner ner.

one of the biggest benifits of a club is the fact that you will be covered by public liability insurance, as a collective, when going out on these meets.

no club = no insurance = possibly big law suits

Why do you need insurance when its something like the skid pan?

Mt Cotton Skid Pan People Pty Ltd would be covered for the participants so at the actual event you're covered. On the way TO the event, surely its just the same as if you drove anywhere by yourself?

No organised club == no target worth sueing. :uh-huh:

That's what I'm talking about. I know a few people (especially up here) do feel a bit like this, but it's natural progression really, everyone will benifet from having an official club.

My personal opinion is to have the clubs separated into states. The state clubs should all be affiliated and have joint events etc. from time to time.

Every other car or bike club I know of or have been a member of is organised this way for a very good reason.....it works.:(

Boxcar, i think you're missing the point. We ARE a national club. But we need to have separate state chapters.

It's not just for the legal/govt reasons already mentioned in numerous threads.

We are a huge country, could you imagine the headaches of only having ONE president, ONE (or two) vice presidents, ONE secretary and ONE treasurer trying to run this club over the entire country??

Every time you wanted to organise an offical club event you would have to send the money to the proper club official...who might live in Perth, while you're in Brisbane?? Each state needs to be able to organise their own events, within their own state, with other members who live there.

    • 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?
