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

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
