Hi Guys,

Our AGM is being held tomorrow at 3pm Toongabbie Sports Club, 12 Station Rd Toongabbie (preceded by eats or nom or whatever you want to call it)!

Members can check who's nominated in the NSW section.

Proxy vote instructions are there too!

Sorry about late notice - and sorry I can't lend you my chopper (cause I don't have a Lic to fly it) :P

Thanks Terry - Nothing that we shouldn't do ourselves, where we can.

Perhaps, and it's only a suggestion raised elsewhere, a bit more policing of the major threads by the collective moderators. Shouldn't be up to one or two to look like hard arses.

A few examples are/is:

  • the WTB's in the General FS section (slightly out of control)
  • Regulars who could be classed as semi-traders (ie: always stripping multiple vehicles and selling in the FS section). Opportunity to obtain small revenue there. or create a sub forum to advertise wares ?
  • More warnings/mini suspensions on repeat offenders (goers against internet ethos but ...) some folk are slammed and made to feel stupid.
  • Flip side to above is obvious clowns :(
  • Rate the Traders - to give the good ones more Trade (star system or percentage on feedback).
  • Identify in Traders Threads the % discount available (if member). Advertise this in a locked thread in Traders.
  • Encourage Traders to post SAU member pricing.
  • Stronger publicity/support on a couple of good charity's. Pick some majors. We all should feel good helping others.
  • Once a year Major swap n shop meet ? (with attendance of players like JJR, Import Monster, Kudos, OTR .... (see if they can do great discounts on this one day) and people like me can unload some good stuff !

  • Encourage more good DIY articles (lanyards, stubbie holders, public recognition) - Maybe set some time to clean that area up and re-create the indexed links ?

  • clean some of the above up ?

I haven't been to a Tech night but what a winner - well done team.

Big one - how do we thank the committee for all their efforts. Each and every state rep should be thanked. Easily taken for granted, often cop whinging, wonder why they volunteered !!!!

Maybe a free pissup/feed put on by the general club collective. Opportunity to take the piss as well.

Nothing new to you but felt like doing a long postage :whistling:

Edit: I'm not a member this year as it was difficult to Justify. Likely I will re-join but at the time I wondered Why (disenchanted somewhat).

SAU is a community.

99% of Skyline owners are people you would like to know and are the first to offer to help each other out.

Oh sorry - Two more.

The folk keeping this site running are invaluable and we need a way to show our appreciation.

I've not seen raffles as a fund raiser - except maybe at the SAU nats. Think we could increase the frequency to raise some funding.

richard, for your first 2 points, unfortunately this has nothing to do with the nsw club/exec team.

it is/should be controlled by the moderation team, put in place by the sau forum creators/runners should be keeping tabs on that.

There was a motion put forward today that ACT Execs and Central Coast Execs might wish to monitor; and that is "Prior to and after each Exec Meeting, agenda items be requested and commented on, and posted up in your forums/subforums"

The motion was seconded.

We shall look forward to your ongoing feedback and suggestions.

Thanks Richard for your points that Luke addressed within the time allowed at the AGM :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
