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.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
