This is the only time exec material will be posted on the open forum. It is here to give you an idea of how we propose to move forward as a club. Read on.

OK peeps, We are not going to let grass grow under our feet so lets get crackin.

Most of the exec posotions are now set in stone with the exception of secretary and the good news on that front is several peeps put their hands up to share the load so we should be well served on that front.

I propose we divide the job in to clearly defined areas so there is no confusion as to who is responsible for what and when. e.g. Membership secretary, Events secretary, and general secretary.

As Toddls was formerly elected To the position He will have the casting vote on issues requiring a ballot.

To achieve our goals we need to stocktake our membership immediately. There is a certain amount of confusion as to who is/isnt a member atm so lets implement plans to clean this area up. Those in the secretary position need to get crackin on it so we know where we stand.

currently there are 3 events set in stone over the next couple of months. Our first club dinner for the year, Our next happy laps at lakeside, and the drag day in June. I propose an immediate as in asap club cruise with a 2 fold purpose. one is obviously cruising for cruising's sake, an enjoyable pastime. The other is a membership drive. I would like this cruise to head west through the flood zones of lockyer and toowoomba with a view to reaching out to the toowoomba skyline fraternity.

Chris Rogers has volunteered to take on the responsibility of Cruise director and will be in touch with Whatever toowoomba people we have on board. Ideally I would like to see that cruise take place in may prior to the lakeside happy laps.

We will begin the compilation of an events calender immediately, I would like members to finish one event and already be looking forward to the next. Get on a roll and keep it rolling. Business creates business and by creating momentum we will have a ton of fun and hopefully garner a lot more membership along the way. It is the responsibility of every member of the team to promote our activitys as much as possible. Outsiders will be welcome to most of our events but they will pay a tax for the privelage. Events that are limited to numbers will be subscribed by our own members first and if there is room we can draw outsiders.

I would like to promote change to the actual sau qld forum. Throw it wide open and promote the use of it beyond bloody whoretown. This section will remain the only closed section on the forum and will be accessible only to the executive, the events committee and the administrators.

Whoretown needs to shifted. The wasteland area has seen some great forum contributions buried almost immediately simply because we like to gossip and talk shit too much. (that wont change)

So lets get on it. Can our secretary/s please get the beginnings of an events calender up in the events section and post it on the mother site as well so we can get on with the serious business of having fun.

so your shutting the QLD section??

I hope not because I find it good having the local sections in here as I am only new and the best thing to do is meet local people rather than meet 100 people and not know anybody or where they are

too long, didn't read ;)

I did actually read it though... how large is the Toowoomba and surrounding contingency of members?

We dont really know how many lines are in Toowoomba but we would like to find out.

Same as sunny coast and the goldy.

We hope to reach a lot more of them in the near future.

Noel,

I got onto a couple of guys up in the R35 section about getting involved with club stuff and one or two of them seem keen to organise some sort of cruise or meet on the Goldcoast.

We intend to do a major club cruise to the goldy in the near future Mitch. Plans are for 4 major cruises a year instead of one.

The first of these will happen next month heading west to toowoomba taking in the flood hit areas of the lockyer valley.

The 2nd cruise will be north toward the sunny coast with a hook up to the caboolture district skyliners

The 3rd will be to the goldy to meet up with like minded people there.

the 4th cruise will be our annual charity job.

These cruises are designed to give the club more exposure to those in the greater s.e. corner with a view to increasing our membership and events participation and generally just have fun doing what we do on a cruise.

looking forward to the charity cruise.

last year's was a blast and attendance was fantastic

keen on the toowoomba cruise as well, time permitting

it's a very nice drive out there. might have to bring the ipod along tho for some tunes, as no stereo might make the long drive dull

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
