Bobby, I get what you're at there. But that's why we're not filling the days. If members can't afford a few hundred bucks to go racing than racing is not really a practical hobby for them. No offence meant, but it simply is expensive.

It is so hard to keep track of the financials for a track day already. Unless we could have some kind of really good automation, it would be a logistical problem.

As you put it - it is up to our members. As exec's we're doing our best to run as much as we can with a very short staff.

We have a GM this week so I'm sure lots of what's come up in here will be discussed. But the problem is always two things: Member commitment for the events and reliable volunteers to make it happen.

I haven't received a single PM since my offer. I'm still open to new ideas and stuff but I need hands and feet to run them, and a tight look at what it takes financially.

Keep the productive discussion going, I'm not saying no to anything just practicalities of running the club.

no one has any money, or any money to put into their car.

at events everyone seems much older then me except 1 or 2. i think my generation just isnt in it and the old generation is busy having kids and buying houses?

need the young dumb ones :P

problem is its all about bloody stance and drifting now

i would like to see.

nsw import club bracket racing championships.

now i know the logistics of organising such a event will make it tuff but i think it would be very beneficial to all the import clubs in nsw to a) get their club out there, b) get the message out there that we're not all racing (or hooning) on the roads, c) the friendly competition d) it will help our clubs grow and become more respected in the community.

thoughts anyone?

Would you mind explaining the idea a little more? do you mean like a door-to-door racing championship for imports only?

what about booking Mount panorama for an event like a hill climb. The booking form on there website has some prices and they don't seem to bad. I don't know what extra charges there would be like council charges etc, but maybe that might be another venue.

can be drag racing but i was thinking circuit racing.

I think most people would be concerned about having their beautiful Skylines punted off into the wall if racing door-to-door, but I definitely think there is room for a regular Time Attack series. Like WTAC but a few more rounds at other tracks. I know Supersprints are essentially the same thing but they aren't marketed at this category at all.

bracket racing isn't door to door racing.

at least the way i'm thinking about it.

One idea to stir up membership is cold casing

I attend a fair few non SAU events and something to hand out to people would go a long way

The ability to say this is my club and this is what were about heres a form join up would be awesome

Then I don't get it :wacko: Could you explain what your thinking of?

This is what i was thinking.

Everyone gets 2/3 sessions of practice/time to set up their car then they nominate a time they think they can match.

Then everyone gets five consecutive timed laps to match their time they nominated, you get penalized for going too fast and beating the time you nominated and you also get penalized for going slower than your nominated time.

The person with the closest overall time and least number of penalties wins.

This way it takes out the ‘’I’ve got more money then you so I win’’ aspect of motor racing.

Thoughts?

What's to stop someone putting a stopwatch in the car and winning that way

So it's like a regularity then but condensed into less laps? Main headache there is administration of it I'd think. Some poor bugger is going to have a lot of work to do.

Getting penalised for going faster than your PB could put some people off too.

The point battle discussion has spawned another thread in the members only area. Leave that idea for now or, if you're a member, head over there and share your idea.

I really like where it is going but we're going to keep it a member secret for now until we figure out what we're going to do.

Keep the ideas flowing folks, some productive discussion going on now.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
