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 :)

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
