Well I cant see that SAUSA members bar under your name...

if you want to discuss anything else with me, i sugest you do it via PM

Why? Because you were cowardly enough to suggest that my 'feedback' was 'childish' and despite my request for you to clarify your accusation, you chose not to address it, and I have to assume that you're a coward, full of hot air, piss and vinegar. No substance, commitment or backbone.

Theres no confusing fishpaste and a book. For a start, a book has a spine....

Of course I'm human, I could be wrong. We'll let third parties be the judge..

Go Go! Go Dohmy Go! Go Go Go! GO! DOHMY BE GOOOD....

-D

cant resist.

And then decide to pay for an SAU membership just so they can get a discounted track day at the expense of those who are already members. I'm sorry, but I do not agree with the reasons given. I didn't join SAUSA to subsidise wannabe drifters at the expense of skyline enthusiasts who want to improve their driving skills.

im sorry, discount?

200 bucks is 200 bucks no matter which way you slice it.

adrians track day back in august was $192.50, with, i think, $92.50 required as a deposit. this sausa(ge) track day is $200, with a $100 deposit required by march 1st.

discount?

what category do i fall under? the wannabe drifter? or the skyline enthusiast?

After all, if someone is only joining to get a cheap track day and doesnt care about every other aspect of SAUSA, should we cater to them rather than those who embrace the scene as a whole?

im not joining to go to a cheap track day (see above). nor am i joining to support sausa(ge). ideally, id join gsr/evo with chad, but because i want to enjoy a track day with my friends, im fronting the cash to get membership.

and i know itll shit you off, you dont want us wannabe drifters in your club. :blink:

now wheres that post about person of the year...

Edited by scandyflick
SASupra will be free to attend should we not be able to raise the numbers needed. but at this stage it is for members only

the amount of enthusiasm that i have seen on this site for a trackday is quite amusing as i have spent YEARS trying to drum up interest on the Supra forum for a club trackday and have only gotten less than eight people signed up each year.

this is a compliment - well done on filling the spots so quickly. i'm sure that this test bodes well for more SAU trackdays

Heslo - when you get a chance can you provide banking details for us to pay the deposit.

Cheers.

Sure mate... here's the details for everyone. Be sure to put your username as the reference so we know who the money belongs to :blink:

Unless there are any more helpfull discussions on this topic pls don't demean this event with posts referring to drag racing and how much better it is than track days.

Stay on topic pls people.

the only thing i would like to add is perhaps a better way to do things in the future, how about listing SAU:SA events in the SAU:SA section of the forums first, so that only SAU:SA members can read/enter them and then move/repost the topic in the general section to then advertise and invite non-members along to them after the nominated time period?? (and that way ordering by paid members/willing to pay members/the rest of us chumps would be easier)

I wasn't able to attend the exec meeting the other night due to work commitments but you do raise a valid point Luke that probably warranted more discussion on the night.

Unfortunately, as Luke has already stated, the level of interest has caught everybody off guard (which should be viewed as a positive for the club) and in hind's sight, maybe an ad in the "member's only" section 1st may have been somewhat fairer for current members.

However, the "member's preference" arguement stands, and as a committee our job is two fold;

1). To care for existing members and attempt to cater for their needs and 2). To grow a successful members list which leads to a strong club with more resources.

Now it's time for everyone to take a deep breath and rest assured that all the raised points are valid ones and will be taken into consideration for the next track day........as there will be many more, judging by the level of interest. :blink:

Rest assured people, this is NOT the one and only track day SAU-SA will be hosting. If you don't get in now, I'm sure Luke will keep your names on record for future track days. Especially given the successful response to this one, we will have another track day organised in the not too distant future.

:P

Nene and/or myself will check the bank transactions at the end of each week, up until the 1 March deadline. Then confirm payments with Luke's list.

:cool:

Good stuff bud :) If you are good at cooking a BBQ and want to lend a hand you're more than welcome to help out on the day. :O

+1 on both counts

Hopefully I can have a go at the next one :)

also the members that haven't been able to go on this particular track day will get first preference on the next.

we will notify the member base differently next time and all comments will be taken under revision.

if this is as successful as it looks and members really do want more then i don't see why we can't put a few more on this year (subject to talking to the Executive Council)

also i hear there will be a free BBQ for SAU members, mmmm sausages'n'bread

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
