LOL!

Nobody posts in there ever only the exclusive events which are rare anyway

thats exactly right, but the fact that the moderators wont expand their teams within the Club exec's is pretty poor form, its nothing against the club itself, but more the moderators running the show.

its a simple task, I'm sure that it doesnt have to go before Julia Gillard to grant moderator access to someone such as yourself, it probably doesnt need to go before anyone for that matter, and its a selfish act for the moderators to restrict members access to something they've payed for because they can't be bothered doing it.

There are plenty of people trustworthy enough in the commitee team ie, yourself toby Dan etc, that wouldn't walk around like Mad082 waving their banstick around to justify their ego.

nothing against the vic club, if it was I wouldntve renewed.

The truth

They make people like that complete and utter knob moderators, when he clearly has self esteem issues which make him more of a flog now that he has 'power'

Basically the less admins/moderators there are, the more important they all feel... Pretty sad really.

opps, I just asked when my member access will be available and now a long discussion has started. My bad :whistling:

By the sounds of things, I honestly thought sau vic was better than this?

So you think its acceptable that having paid for membership to not have the access?

Thought wrong brah

Welcome to sauwhingeland man up

So you think its acceptable that having paid for membership to not have the access?

Member's section access isn't the mainstay of membership...you're not missing out on much, not at the moment anyway. Even if you don't have forum access yet, you can still get member benefits and go to exclusive events using your members card - something which we are directly responsible for and do stay on top of issuing. I'm not defending the lack of access, members should have it and promptly...we are trying all we can to sort it out...but it's outside of our control and a bit unfair for people to sledge SAU Vic over it, when it's an SAU issue.

On the side, guys, the club IS the members...that's all committee are...members who volunteer their time to help run the club. We aren't on a payroll and we don't think we're special or better than anyone (except Tony; arrogant shit). If you don't like something about your club, change it. I'm not saying "well you do a better job", but turn up to every event and make it something big/special, get fellow members along; make suggestions about what events you want to see happen and when - the events guys won't knock it back unless it's unfeasible.

We're part way through a revamp of SAU Vic at the moment; we're trying to make the membership more worthwhile. This value-adding includes rehashing our affiliates/sponsors - scrapping the old places that don't even recognise us anymore and getting some big name / commonly used businesses on board as supporters - Tony has been doing an awesome job of this and discount at one of these places alone will more than have the cost of membership paid for. The events guys are looking at doing some cool shit for us, we have some quality members-only merchandise on the way (e.g. jackets) and the rest of us are working to make the club more interactive so people know exactly what's going on at all times.

Alex is right when he says these cars aren't what they used to be. Half the club isn't even Skylines and there are very few paid membership clubs around these days for our demographic and type of car. The car scene isn't what it used to be and neither are the clubs. On top of this, our club isn't for everyone...if you don't feel you're getting anything from it, no one will blame you for not renewing or not joining in the first place. SAU Vic puts on DECA and motorsport events and for people like me, attending these alone are worth the cost of membership. But we are trying to add more to the club so that more people can get more out of it.

tl;dr: quit whinging, good things are on their way, give us a hand.

Grant likes this.

yeah well I looked at all the modern cars.

86

GTI

focus XR6

none of them worked for me

so I thought I might spend a little less and get a fun car

so looking at S15 or 34 GTT

but damn, how cheap have 33R's got, so i'm thinking for a low KM daily why the F not have something fun!

so atm it a 33R or a evo6 TME

How many times do I have to say "nothing against SAU Vic, but against the particular mods" for u to understand I'm not sledging SAU Vic.. Seriously dude read what I wrote again.

I think the comitee are doing an excellent job with what resources you are given. But why does a moderator have to be so selfish and power hungry, that it effects the members?

Fair enough he does alot for SAU ie nationals etc. but why is it so hard for moderator access to be given to one of you, when it can be so easily given to that f**king deadshit mad082? Technically moh should be given access is marc has it.

And I've offered my help a countless amount of times and it goes unnoticed so what's the point?

Tl:dr;

Stop telling me I'm sledging SAU Vic when I'm clearly not. Give someone else in committee mod access. Get rid of Mad082. = happier SAU

Yeah, I've been looking at carsales in last couple of days, and have seen few 33r's for as much as 32r's, that makes 33r better value with added bits such as Brembos, faster attesta, newer/better chassis & motor.

I once thought about buying a Evo 5-6 before buying the purple 33r I had, I didn't like how lack of 'character' these Evos have, it's like you know it's faster, better handling etc but it doesn't give you that special feeling when you drive it (that's just me though).

Would like to buy myself a E46 M3 but couldn't justify the price they go for at the moment - $35-55k whereas in UK you can pick one up for $10-15k (try getting a M3 insured for reasonable price whilst on Australian licence though!).

hell yeah

looked at e46 m3

z4 35s

135

as really they the modern "skyline"

and even 34R are over priced

I'll be buying a good new car for the then wife, and a run around for me.

and so long as I can do most of the service myself a 33R is stupid cheap.

you can import one for well under 16

just over 20 for a good condition series 3 R

if I was doing massive km I prob would not hink it, but for around 5K km a year why not have a fun car!

Honestly, with amount of 33r's on carsales at the moment, I wouldn't bother importing one. But if you don't mind waiting 3-4 months for one, go for it.

33r makes for a good daily driver and weekend tourer as long your missus doesn't over pack!

Well ya said this ya cock and it kind of implies problem ownership for the club:

    • 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
    • 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.
