Hate to be a party pooper, but has anyone bothered to consult the club's constitution.

According to that doco, particularly Rule 8, elections are held at the AGM (ANNUAL General Meeting), while this thread is proposing an EGM (EXTRAORDINARY General Meeting).

Also, Rule 8 specifies nominations be with the secretary at least 21 days prior to the meeting, duly seconded and agreed to by the nominee.

Better cancel our banners and replace the E with an A

Perhaps nominate yourself onto the committee so such important matters are no longer overseen in the future

Looks like someone just got confused between E and A, no big deal.

Nominations posted here, are a written form if I am not mistaken... So that is covered for some. Some have also not accepted but 8.1 says that if there are none it can just be sorted out at the meeting, nice and easy.

Doesn't really seem like a big issue.

I will be there, miniwog and acsplit i believe will be attending also talking to them yesterday/today.

We might not get there in time tonight but was wondering if someone could put up their hand for me and my partner Robyn (who is also a member of SAU vic) for the General Committee. We hope to get there but if we don't it would still be great to get involved, hope there is someone who can do this for us and thanks in advance to who does :)

so just the executive committee are voted in tonight.

then they select the general Committee from people who show interest.

so you will be fine.

Thanks to those who found the time to make it last night.

Discussion was thick and we will have updates for everyone in the coming weeks.

I can announce that

Richo president
Dan Vice President
Anna Secretary
Tony Treasurer
  • 2 weeks later...
Richo - President

Dan - Vice President

Anna - Secretary

Tony - Treasurer


Aaron - Events

Oscar - Events


Simon - Web


Laith - Media


Leon - DECA

Matt - DECA

Ryan - DECA


Dave - Motorsport

Andrew - Motorsport


Martin - General

Bec - General



Summary

- Dave will take on updating the MS Championship results

- We are to make an effort to approach Broadford to secure a date for a motorsport event in 2014 and 2-3 motorsport events in 2015.

- If Broadford does't result in anything, approach Haunted Hills for a motorsport event in 2014 and 2-3 events in 2015.

- The new operators at DECA have drastically altered our long standing arrangement, as a direct result the cost of hiring and running the venue for the club has increase significantly. We have had to pass this onto competitors. Continue to monitor the state of the facility, while we are in a bind at the moment as there are no similar facilities available options may open up eg.

1. Winton skid pan (new, unknown costs, smaller than DECA, rough surface)

2. Lake Mountain large private car parks

3. Haunted Hills ATC type setup

- SAU VIC members price for DECA, club to take on the difference

- We will have a club garage at track days where possible or a marque

- Organise a gokart day

- Organise the renewal day out at MiColour
Not even picked for general, must not have shown enough want I guess, maybe next year :(

We would still love any help you have to offer. There's plenty of behind the scenes helpers not listed here :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
