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

    • 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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
