ATTENTION MEMBERS 

 

 

A Message from the SAUNSW President.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I can have your attention please.... While sad, this is something important to us!

It’s with great sadness that I report that the committee and I have agreed to cancel everyone’s favourite Putty Road cruise next week... For obvious reasons, the bushfires have affected the whole Putty area, with the whole of Putty Road being closed..

Many of you have messaged me about this, and have been asking if there’s a ‘Plan B’. We’ve had a few ideas, but because the fires are widespread, our plans keep going up in smoke (no pun intended)...

The team and I recognise that many of you would still like to have an event of some sort, even if it’s something local! So, I’d like to open up the stage to your suggestions! Don’t be scared, no suggestion is too stupid... You never know, your suggestion might start up a new favourite event for us all?? So please drop it in the comments section below!

If you like someone else’s suggestion, please also like their comment!

Get creative gang! It’s time for a serious team effort!

1. My go to: Robertson pie shop, typically enough parking if you get there before 1130. Pies, apple turnovers with cream and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, plus multiple entry and exit options. The run home to Sydney, via Jamberoo and Kiama, is a sweet drive.

2. Road Warriors Cafe. Pies and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, parking is limited on some days.

3. Ummmmm, Crashdowns place for mad driveway skids and fridge raiding?????

There's always the royal natio too

Although I enjoy the Nasho the Sunday traffic is horrendous, and finding somewhere for 10 or 20 cars to park up is near on impossible, plus, no pies, cakes or coffee.

I'm a fat old bastard that thrives on pies, cakes and coffee.

Logistically the Nasho is a easy choice for me as it's just down the road, maybe if we could organise a BBQ? Maybe?Parking?

Closed due to fire risk?

Total fire ban?

Entry fee of $12.50, which is always noticed when the rangers of cops turn up and find 20 imports parked together, plus it goes to a good cause.

Would need to get their really early to stake a claim/parking.

There is "some" room here > Dropped pin
Near Royal National Park NSW 2233

In saying this the Nasho gets full and closed out regularly at this time of the year.

What are the Execs looking at?

The events committee has decided to postpone another official event/cruise until next year, mainly because of time restraints organising the event insurance, notice to venues etc. 

The SAUNSW President has also posted this on the clubs facebook page.

Howdy guys and gals!

As I’m sure you’re all aware, NSW has been ravaged by severe bushfires these past few weeks. Sad to say, even our favourite Putty Road has not escaped unpunished.

We’ve tried to hold out as long as possible before making a final call on our Putty Road cruise scheduled for this Sunday. Regretfully, as the whole of Putty Road is still closed, and with the fires now nearing Singleton, we’ve had no other choice but to cancel our cruise.

What makes this situation worse is that we have been unable to follow through with our back-up plans too, as even they’ve been affected by the fires!

While this isn’t the way we were hoping to close out the year, it’s the best way to make sure you all remain safe, given the circumstances!

Don’t worry though, we will definitely be back in 2020! Until then, we hope you all have a fantastic holiday!

We’ll see you all on the other side!

Cheers!

SAU NSW President

I'll be heading to Robertson pie shop.

If you see a short balding old guy smashing pies and cakes into his face say hi.

I'll be in the 86

Legit on the 15th Marky? I might bring the rusty pos along for a squirt to Robbo

That's my plan

Unless the Minister of War and Finances wants to be a fun kill.

If I get a free pass, or if she ends up with the shits because of the direction of the wind, I'll just head down myself.

I have broached the subject and I keep bringing up appleturn overs and chocolate eclairs whenever I can, she seems keen now, later on????? Meh LOL

It seems like everytime me and her go we end up bringing back cakes and pies for all of the outlaws, I do use this as leverage.

Exact timings on arrival are fluid, getting her moving early on a Sunday can be problematic.

I'll post up a pic when I'm there.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
