Event:
2015 Annual General Meeting


Description:

The time has come for the AGM, once again we will hold it at the Shannons Insurance clubhouse in Brisbane. During the meeting we shall give a brief overview of the club activities from the past year, hold Executive Committee elections and take member feedback and suggestions for the coming year. A more detailed post (available HERE) of available positions and nominations for those positions will be posted in the members section. Members and non-members are invited to attend but only financial members can nominate for and vote on Executive Committee positions.

In addition to the general business of the AGM this year we will also be discussing the possible winding up of the club at the end of the year. I urge any members (or non members interested in joining) to attend and voice your opinions about what you would like to see happen with the club.

Location:
Shannons Club House, Unit 5B/ 305 Montague Road, West End

Date:
Thursday the 20th of August

Time:
Arrival: 6-6:30 pm

Mega sad,still have my 33 after 13 years met heaps of great people whom I'm still friends with,young ones might of out grown out of grey imports not me ever,Japanese super cars have always been made beautifully and still are today,love em. :-)

The young ones haven't grown out of imports they've just grown out of car clubs. Facebook was the death knell for clubs and the local race tracks opening up their gates to non club facebook groups had only expedited it.

It is particularly sad to see that you may be having to shut up shop as a club. I am new to SAU but have been a member of car clubs for years. There is no substitute for a good club outing with friends and members. Car clubs have and should be the backbone of motoring enthusiasts.

I feel that way too Matt but sadly the current crop of skyline owners get everything they want from a Facebook group and see little point in joining a car club.

Hey Mike

Ignore my ignorance what do you mean in regards to Facebook group.I am probably the only one in the country not on this site.

On Facebook you can create groups and invite people to them, similar to a forum but there is almost no way to find past threads. It's just a way for them to feel part of a community without having to pay membership costs. This coupled with qr allowing anyone (not just car clubs) run a halthappy laps people no longer see the value in joining a club or attending events.

Not the only one Andrew maybe there are 2 of us ,My boys talked me into a Facebook organised QR day before i joined the club ,it is something i would only do once ,The SAU days are so much better ,safer and more fun !!!!

well i did mention that this might happen last year when hardly any members attended events that the club put on.I personally like to be part of a club,i do attend events put on by other facebook clubs and car clubs just to mix with other car lovers,but theres nothing like belonging to sau qld. Unfortunately to many members like the fact that theyre in a club,but dont support the club,by not going to club events put on for members it will kill off this sector of sau.Not progress in my option. :( I hope this doesnt happen.

I'm only new here but I'll be sad to see the club go , I really enjoyed meeting you guys the other day I hope it was a sign of many more great days to come!

Also some one mentioned a member only section of the QLD sub forum, how do I go about getting access to that?

Join the club, there's a pinned thread in the main Queensland section with everything you need to know.

I've already joined the club , though i never ended up with my membership card ( got the other stuff though) or the QLD member tag under my username :S

I'll have a look into it mate and get it sorted. Sorry.

    • 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
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
