when i saw this thread i thought someone would pull the thumb out of their arse and get SAU SA organised (seeing as we have SAU VIC, NSW, WA and QLD up and running). The guys I've met in SA are an awesome bunch, and they all were keen to get something official going.

There's plenty of wankers with skylines in VIC, and we still run the club. Its inevitable that they'll join up, but when they do its in the club rules that their membership can be revoked if the committee decides that they are out of line.

That said from the posts you've made it seems that this is more about you than actually starting a club to help the guys on SAU ;) Just remember you need to be SAU SA to operate tightly with this forum. Your personal little car club of hand picked members won't cut it. It needs to be open to the public.

Anyways, this is where I butt out of this thread. Good luck.

if it was about me and my friends i wouldnt have come back on here and posted it up i would have done it outside of SAU.

No one else is doing the car club so i will and i will make it work so dont be so rude also who said i was hand picking members and who said it wasnt open to the public.

By the way im one of the SA members you met i organised the cruise to melbourne!

This is the problem with things that Kellie does, eventually she get all big headed and power crazy and starts banning people.

I agree, but having just chatted to Kel i know she was being sarcastic... I'd love to see SAU-SA get up and running... I dont think you should butt out, I think you're precisely the sort of person who needs to give us input to succeed..

The main reason she suggested a different name was to disassociate the club (aka an actual business/npo entity) from the dudes who rock around with SAU stickers and hit sideways. Its moreso a fresh start so that members can be vetted in accordance with club policy..

That said, we're having a chat about it now and will endeavour to work out the details. If we can go with SAU-SA it'd be mutually beneficial, its moreso the technicalities that need to be worked out

lol yeah i know. you were included in the people i was talking about ;)

but i reckon if you're motivated enough to start an official club, you should use the base you've already built on SAU rather make some seperate thing? strength in numbers and all that. otherwise you risk just being another one of those small groups that you see one year at autosalon, and then never again... it'd be a shame to waste all the motivation.

anyways, I'm sure when you guys sit down as a group and bash brains you'll come up with a good solution that benefits all.

Stirls man I think that was a lil uncalled for...

She's only ever banned 2 people from her cruises, and that was for a damn good reason...

IF Sau-SA has a chance to get made we need to leave all the prior baggage at the airport and fly away to the equator...

Please people, lets try and get this done.... its gonna be hard, theres going to be teething problems and yes, people are going to disagree - thats fine, as long as its done respectfully.

Kellie probably won't be running the club. She's just the one with the initiative to start the ball rolling. Ideally the club president will be elected by his/her peers. It wont be a dictatorship, thats for sure.

Positive comments will be welcome. Naysayers can direct themselves to /dev/null

lol ok that's a bit of a jump. lets keep the shit slinging to minimum.

no probs, you can hit me or any of the other SAU VIC/NSW committee for the docos and paperwork and shortcuts when we had to get our CAMS affiliation when you guys decide what to do.

you have no idea what your talking about mate i have met you once

A few times actually. The first time was when you were telling people that you know every thing about brakes rotors because you worked at Auto Bahn.

The second time was at the only one of your cruises I went on where we drove for 45 minutes and stood around in car parks waiting for 2.5 hours, where I also witnessed drivers openly drinking Alcohol.

Anyhow as with Chad i'm happy in the car club I'm in at the moment so i don;t have anything else to say in here.

Ive never seen anything wrong with a small car club. Then its more tighter, you help anyone within the club instead of forming little tight circles with the people you like, easier to organise events, keep under the radar aswell as you minimise the idiots ;)

Thanks for clarifying that. If you'd like to join once we're established, the door will still be open

EDIT - I'd just like to clarify that kellie's previous cruises were open events - she cant honestly be expected to police or be responsible for the people that came along.

i have said this already in a MSN convo i wont be president unless voted in im mearly getting the ball rolling

I'm staying clear of this, but I will be keeping an eye on this thread. Just know I don't really think it's wise or respectful if you are setting up a separate entity outside of SAU and are recruiting members for it via the SAU website. If you are planning on carrying the SAUSA banner, the first thing I'd be doing is contacting Christian (Prank) and getting his approval/blessings... just my 0.02 cents worth

I can assure you that its not the case luke. We will be SAU-SA pending Christians approval (which has been requested already).

We also have funkymonkey assisting us, and I'll be overseeing the construction of the club as impartially as possible.

The organisation will be transparent and open to all. Naturally there are loads of things to clarify now but I'm not willing to go into it until we have the blessing of the man who started this site.

Stay tuned.

Sounds like great idea have been waiting to join a car club.

Not many of you on here know me only a few of the stag owners do as i have only had an import for a few months. but cant wait to meet a few more of you. I also think its great idea to have the stags in aswell

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
