..again, I'm yet to hear negative feedback.

..I'm asking for proof. Not being a smartar$e, I'm genuinely interested in proof that SAU has a bad public image.

Again it's vice versa. I was recently reading a thread where people were getting defected, and there was a semi common question being asked. "Did you have a SAU sticker on your car?" What does this mean?

I can (edit: could, but I won't since we both know it's right there) provide much proof that these CARS have a bad public image, and that the club deals specifically with these cars. That's how they link it together.

I mean shit, a few people in bikie gangs get too violent and what's the end result for the clubs? You can't tell me they're all cold blooded killers on a vengeance, but now they're trying to pass legislation to basically split the clubs up totally. What did the CLUB do? Nothing.

ACA stories count for a decent chunk since what they say, alot of Joe Public believe. Make them run a positive reel on the club. They won't, and have 0 interest. Joe Public think the same way.

Anyways I'm not going to argue the point further since we're both enthusiasts, and it's evident that looking from the outside proves difficult. While it's hard to prove that the club has a bad public image without a public vote, it would be harder to prove the opposite in a broad, public sense.

^^^ The man you're having a debate with Glen, is already earmarked to further promote SAU's +ve image (amongst other things) in a Cover Story of Daily Telegraph Cars Guide, early in October. Anyway, I know we'll give Bobby every support we can.

Well Terry, being the uphill battle we're in, I support any positives that can be made through the media.

Best of luck with the article Bobby, I'll definitely be reading it.

Start the reverse trend. :)

SAU DOES have a good public image, maybe not so with the media and joe public, but with our law enforcement officers.

Ask many of the long standing members of their run ins with the police and how they've been treated when they have the SAU NSW stick on the car, and most of the time they're not hassled too badly is the story they tell.

      Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).

      Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.

      Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...

      I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
