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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
