As the title states I'm just wondering what people want out of the club as of late.

Do you like cruises, social gatherings, texi's?

Perhaps somethin different to the above. Well here's your chance to have a say so we can start to plan and book next year's events!

More tech nights as promised (pref in Newcastle too haha). The top secret one would of been awesome if it was an Sau event and not the general public

Maybe a drag day or even a night? I'd like 4-5 runs to get a feel for it.

I'd like to see a few more official cruises, and to places other the putty rd, don't get me wrong putty rd is a great cruise but there are more places out there.

Love to see sutton rd again, I missed it this year but wouldn't next year and maybe another hill climb some where else to change up the Motorsport choices a little more which might attract more people in each event.

a bi monthly cruise, social lunch or what not. Cheaper tech nights that I can afford wild be great. More sponsors and perhaps make some business cards or flyers to put on windscreens to invite more people.

The tech nights are free!! How much cheaper do you want them to be, the club pay you to come?

Tech Nights? Say...

* Brake n Clutch

* Meguiars Detailing with loot bags

* Wheel Repair

* Sard/Denso or Fuel Pump mob

These

As said more cruises

Hillclimb at Ringwood maybe

Karts at E/C

In general just more events we can all be involved in as they seem very Sydney specific to me at the moment

If I got told that all I had to do was join up for SAU and then I could pay like $100 or $200 to go out on eastern creek with the club for a whole day and it happened like tri-monthly, I'd have joined up right away.

Look at properly established drift clubs; private track days for their crew. They're baws.

And the one argument that everyone uses against car enthusiasts that like to run their cards hard is to take it to the track; so why not?

Needs moar track days / texi's

Cruises / car meets are boring as bat shit. At least have a drive out to somewhere nice and have a BBQ or grab some pies. Everyone loves pies.

Keep on hooning SAU :thumbsup:

Edit: f**k yes; hill climb! Great idea!

High fives for you

Also; maybe a competition like the one that some other club had recently where they had to build a 13 second car for $1300

While I like the input I do have to point out that motorsport isn't that cheap folks. EC is a VERY expensive track to hire if you can even get on the schedule. Also they are outrageous on their skid pan hire as well. The only other clubs that run days cheaper than ours put twice the entries in and you only get 1/2 as much time.

If you want to drift come to a texi and go for your life. Plenty of people see our Texi's as our drift day and until the last one we weren't filling them up.

Keep the constructive discussion coming, I just want to be realistic about costs and club events at expensive venues.

Inter-club events maybe, might help to knock the costs down a bit.

My 2 cents is:

Timed track day, discounted, members only, once a year, run a comp, give prizes like shirts or hats.

group 1 unrego race cars

group 2 rego 4wd Turbo

group 3 rego RWD Turbo

group 4 rego NA

Texi (yes as yet I havent made one with a car yet)

Motakhana (ON GRASS)

Drags (if WSID cost to much to hire then lets do a unofficial member attack on a wendsday night, the benifit of this is if it rains we pay for nothing and organise another night)

Servicing days (get together for a BBQ and oil change, bleed brakes, minor maintenance type of stuff, and a Beer or a Scotch)

At some of these events we could have a swap meet to get rid of unwanted parts or pick up some bits and peices.

I'd love to run in an na class

once at wsid I saw a honda club get their own line up lane & runs on a wed night, wonder if we could organise something similar

servicing days sound sweet, I reckon we squat at a maccas carpark & spill oil everywhere out of courtesy

Would be great! haha nah I thought the tech nights were a few hundred bucks. but if its free then defs down for the next one.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
