Heading back onto topic, how many of the listed attending people would be interested in a shirt or hoodie, kinda like the Tokyo tour jumpers. I would be happy to design and organise it, and of course keep the cost down as much as possible.

Would be good to do I reckon and if everyone interested was happy to do so, there could be a small amount (say $5-10) dollars added to the cost price, used as a donation to SAU:VIC to help cover some costs for the whole event.

Let me know what you think people, and how much you would be happy to spend.. A hoodie would probably be a better idea considering the weather..

cost for the Tokyo jumpers was around $70 each Matty when I had them made. design costs approx $100 (one off) The more you make - cheaper it gets...

And Luke...you should come over!!

Matty, Shane has already run that idea by me.....there are a few issues however.

It's a one off shirt that will only be worn for that one occasion and with the hassle we've had organizing hoodies in the past (ie. getting them done quickly), there's a chance they won't be ready till after the event.

The other reason is that this is nothing like the Japan trip.....this is the SAU Nationals and as such should be represented by the official club shirts.....which we already have.

I don't want to poop on this idea any further but if you guys want to go ahead with it, you're more than welcome.........it just won't be a club thing, sorry

Sounds good Matty, the only thing is the mean temps are 21.6 and 24.7 degrees for October and November respectively, so would a t-shirt be more appropriate? Unless you were thinking for the nights because we already have club shirts - in which case you can just ignore everything I've said lol.

edit: Just ignore this anyway, I didn't see Pete's post because I was sitting on this page for a while before I posted.

Working on an after-trackday-party for the Sat night (starting say 7.30-8pm). Might be $20-$25 a head which gets fingerfood and bringing up a decent Melb DJ (or two) I know.

'Celebrating' is one thing us SA guys will beat you at, hands DOWN. :devil:

Point taken; with a bit of luck the 3rd batch of polo tops will be ready by then haha

Yeah it's a good idea in theory Sherlock, BUT we wouldn't want to step on Ash's toes re: merchandising - I am sure he will provide kick-ass event jumpers or hoodies to buy at the SAU Nationals!

I've given the final deadline on those club shirts. We WILL have them this friday. They have no more excuses.

I'm waiting for my club shirt too. :(

I'll believe it when I see it, lol

If they miss this deadline Roo, we'll drop by next week and introduce them to ground & pound.....I'll bring Carl (bezender) with me (grasshopper in training) :rofl2:

Talk about adding new meaning to the word "procrastination" :blink:

Big week... I'm totally exhausted :D

- 8 Hot Laps in 2 hipo R35 GTRs (Mercury R35/Mark's & Willall R35/Seb's). Both workshops are sponsors as well which is awesome.

- NPC Clutches chucking in the ring - 2 x $500 vouchers for prizes!!!

- Merch Pack being put together and samples/pics ready in approx 8 working days.

- $500 fuel voucher is now a $550 one

- S'n'S space will allow around 250 cars, maybe more.

Some even bigger announcements to come over the next few days with regards to the DVD etc.

Hopefully entry will be up within the next week as well.

Only bummer - burnout comp is a no-go after meeting with the council this week didnt approve it :(

Otherwise though, shaping up to be quite the event!

Yeah their idea was very different to mine and unfortunately no amount of planning would have fixed that. But no matter, can't win em all.

Might have to make it 3-days next year, and include DECA so people can get upto as much of that as they want in the space of 8 hours :D

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
