Eoi: All Japanese Car Show Act - 2015


Recommended Posts

CHECKLIST FOR YOU

Step 1

* Check to see that there's no clash of dates with anything big in NSW/ACT

Step 2

* Insurance advised so you don't get sued. SAU.NSW is able to apply to CAMS for insurance; but the Event may need to be run officially by the Club

* Disclaimer statements checked by a solicitor

* If part of admission goes to charity, some charities have strict conditions eg Beyond Blue

Step 3

* "All Japan Day" organisers from SA hopefully won't have an issue with you about naming your event, "All Japanese Car Show". Might be best to check with them.

Step 4

* Organise a team of helpers who can take on the responsibility of various roles/chapters

* Have set meeting dates for team members to report

Step 5

* Venue and date set in stone

* Plan B required perhaps in case of rain

* Choice of venue near toilets

* Venue requires electricity

Step 6

Roles/chapters include...

* Food/drink eg CAFE2U, your own drinks tent/marquis

* Marketing eg SAU, Facebook, Canberra Times,

* Publicity Coverage eg Canberra Times, Performance Imports, Performance Garage, Motive DVD

* Cold calls to Car Clubs setting out commitment dates

* Sponsorship eg Trojan

* Stalls

* Aftermarket products eg shirts advertising the event

* Tickets accounted for on spreadsheet

* Payment methods

* Refund procedure

* Your own photographer or videographer if unsure about magazine presence

* Certificates of Appreciation to Sponsors

* SnS trophies if there's a competition

Sounds like a great idea :)

It looks like you're already covering some bases.

No high horse, dyno days around here are just boring as shit.

I've been to plenty of events over the years and go to several SAU NSW club events each year.

Even put an effort to organizing some that I've never seen you attend.

With regards to the dyno aspect I think most people only want to see what there car makes (even if its not much) as they might not have an opportunity otherwise or they want a laugh etc. (Not meaning to have a go Kat, sorry if it comes across that way)

Anyway on topic. I suspect most people woulnt care which way it went (in regards to dyno/no dyno/coffee etc(japfest or whatever it was called only had very little space so limited the numbers). I mean most of us will have things on/completely forget etc so i think opening it up to more people is a good idea. Either way props to Che for tryig to organise something, im sure its a nightmare.

All of this,

Anthony - Don't farking whinge about people not going to club events when you're not even a member.

If "not on high horse" why make the comment saying "a bunch of underpowered cars" as intended as a put down. Because your car is that much better? Get over yourself. All that does it put down other peoples pride and joy, that's the attitude we want from an exec? So what if there are not cars pulling 500+KW on dyno. The whole point is to get car lovers together, irrelevant of what they drive. People should be able to rock up with whatever they want and throw it on the dyno without having to think if some people are like "oh only 115KW how pathetic". It's attitudes like that, that have pushed many people away from the car scene. and especially from dyno days.

You could have just said "Dyno days are not really my thing, but i support an event whatever it is".

Get your head out of your own ass.

I'm down for anything. Large events that involve the car community here are far few and it would be fantastic to see some new events come up. Suppose the whole dyno thing would be added depending on the venue. If held at one of the Mechanics would be great to see dyno stuff there as well. But then again something at a park is great also. Suppose it would be good to chat to a few of the other forums and get a feel to what people feel like?

Have you had any progress with how organizing is going?

Someone have a complex about his underpowered GTR? Keep your head up your ass.

I've actually organised several dyno days in Canberra. They're boring and most workshops don't want to run them. People generally turn up in all sorts including daily drive shitboxes "just to see what it can do" because it's only $50 a pop. Do you like standing around for 9 hours watching <100kw cars on a dyno? They make for a VERY LONG DAY, hence my comment.

The ACT community is somewhat lacking and always will be.

I didn't see you at Coffee and Cars supporting local events either?

I go to and help organise a lot of things which you'd know about if you looked in the NSW section at the events that we provide. As pointed out see that you're not a member.

Currently I'm talking to Nulon about a tech event (SAU NSW Club members only) where we hope to give prizes out and see club members profit from the win in the Nulon Nationals series.

Watching a 100kw car and a 500kw car on a dyno is the same thing, your comment was not directed at "long day". It was specifically written to put down cars with less power than yours.

Straight into trying to make someone feel inferior about their car, and the fact they have not paid to be a financial member. Good way of promoting club values and trying to get more people to be a financial member, nice job Kat.

It actually wasn't, it's more going from what I've seen in the past but sounds like someone has a complex! Making something that was totally not about you into an attack.

Good luck getting more than 4 Skylines to show up too.

And how can someone who is not a member of the club speak to club values?

Yep.... Lol.

Anyways, back to topic. Is there any movement with this? Pretty keen to have an exclusive Jap day where the old and new meet together. Thanks for the list Terry, seems to be a good check list to base off.

Also, in years to come you'll have Sydney snd Melbourne folk taking the trip up. Last year Tuned did a Paul Walker meet which gathered like 2k cars (or people, might be 2k entry). Which is good numbers! I'd probably suggest to get the first one off around April when Fast7 is hitting the cinemas.

The BNR34 10th Anniv was run in April 2010 coinciding with a F&F film launch. Universal Studios (at the request of one of our organisers Nick Galvin) donated heaps of shirts as prizes. So that might be a great idea Jeremy.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
