I will open a thread for SMS subscription on events notification. I've started sending out SMS to people about events.

So we have:

Forums

Facebook

SMS

email

All of these are currently in use for promoting our events. The fact is taht people are just not entering. I do not think it is an awareness problem.

Afaik NSCc is a timed day and they also run a club championship. Compare apples with apples steveo....

Also going back a few years ago how come these days were sold out? What's changed since then?

When I was vice pres there was talk of an Sau club champ. People these days that are into track days will more likely enter a day with timing or a comp, like a supersprint series. This is more like a speed off the streets day but with passengers. Maybe people got scared off the whole renew vs Sau days from last year?

To me the only benefit of these days is the passenger seats. There are no qualified instructors and no timing, and not a comp. That's my thoughts and you need to look at all options and situations as to why. Ask the members on the day as to why they entered and what can be done to promote these days.

Suttonroad will appeal to more people. That event kicks ass!!!!

Unfortunately I cannot make that due to family commitments.

Wouldn't having a few more entrants cover the timing, and the timing bring in a few more entrants.

All track days I do now are with SSCC or NSCC and they are timed events, I've never found them over packed and they always have a heap of entrants.

If SAU just want untimed passenger days they need to be advertised early and have other things to bring in people like a show n shine, sponsor talks, tech info and such, crack out the instant coffee in the morning and sell cups for $2.00.

This probably isn't the thread for this but I like the SAU days and I want to attend but I need something to get me there.

Yes I'm a needy little bastard.

Yeah Oran park was awesome, I'm mad I only got to run on it half a dozen times; I'm not sure what's keeping people away from track days, hopefully it was just a weird blip and everyone will be clamouring for spots at the next one.

I much prefer timing myself, did the nscc day on the Sunday and there was a lot more interest in comparing lap times and it wasn't uncommon to see a throng of drivers and onlookers gathered around the flat screens peering intently at their times with the chatter non stop.

I wasn't aware of a club championship happening but I certainly wanted to be inside the top ten but was happy enough with top thirteen as its my lucky number.

Now see you all at sutton!

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
