What is the criteria that needs to be met, to make an official sau event, be it a trackday or social style event?

obviously it needs to have a good chance of being finaccially viable, and it would need to go though the sau committe.

but what about insurance, what are the requirements there, and anyother requirements apart from help to make a day official?

I'm just curious, so that better suggestions may be given, if understood what is involved.

The club does insurance through AASA and CAMS. This is why ONLY official SAU:NSW events have public liability and thus can be called official SAU events.

Meeting the insurance requirements depends on the event type and how it is run. We know these organisations well and have established our credibility with them over the years.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you folks don't see.

Nope, Josh, even our "Official SAU-NSW Cruises" have insurance. You never know when something unexpected might happen, and the club risks getting sued due to injuries and/or damage sustained by an innocent bystander.

They can be Ruxis. I use to run motorcycle rides but the caveat was, I'm going in this direction and stopping at these locations, you are welcome to follow me as individuals.

On topic, for those who have family/responsibilities and live 6+hours there and back away, nearly everything organised is unfortunatly unavailable. Jim's dinners are awesome but 8 hours traveling to go to work the next day doesn't keep the mrs happy. However keep running 3 track days at wakefield a year and I'm happy. Combined with other clubs is fine. The yearly drag event in sydney sounds like great stuff.

sorry to keep this off topic,

but is anyone responsible if its an unofficial cruise and someone kills someone? will the cruise organiser be in trouble?

Could I have been in trouble whilst running an SAU Event like the R32 GTR 21st? No, whilst stipulating that all road rules and the SAU.NSW Code of conduct were adhered to. CAMs covered us.

On the other hand, the organisers of the R34 GTR 10th (ie Eugene and yours truly) were sticking their necks out if say, one of our 72 cars T-boned another in our convoy - even whilst stipulating that road rules be adhered to.

Neil our then President, brought my attention to that.

Actually the Xmas dinner this year would work better for more people on a Saturday night due to people work schedule

That has been replaced by Putty Rd for 2012 Brett; but I agree that a Sunday night is extremely taxing on us guests that have to come long distances.

I wonder if a Fri night would work better (whilst Sat is out of the question)?

In 2013, Seton and Bowe are agreeable to be Guests of Honour.

I think sau vic is part of an interclub championship which holds rounds during the year, maybe hit up one of them mexicans to find out how they do it?

The local car club up here has a Tri-Challenge with two other clubs each year.

It started as a way to support the two smaller clubs and has grown in numbers each year with a round at the three clubs circuits

Maybe SAU could do something similar with say a Toyota, Subaru and Mitsubishi club to boost numbers and help with costs

Four rounds with each club hosting one event say a Wakefield day then a drag day and a hillclimb and maybe a standing mile or klm at an appropriate location somewhere. Points awarded for overall places as well as classes with points also awarded to each club based on members results with a winner at the end of the year.

Drivers must compete in the same car and (maybe) class all year to be eligible as this would stop those with money spending big between events to score a win

Could also maybe have a combined cruise/meet at the end of the year for prizes etc.

This way the cost is only for running one event and you should get numbers at each event to make a profit for each club

Just a thought anyway

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
