Does anyone know what has happened to Aaron McGill's Auto-Motion Australia? In going through my recepeipts a tax time, i realised that i never got a one for the 3 stages of track day, and need to get in contact with him.

His website has disappeared, and i have lost all emails from him

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks guys

Brendan

ok, here is a cut and paste of his last email dated 24/5/04

"Drivers,

Firstly, thankyou for your support of Auto-Motion Australia over the years, especially to all our "regular" drivers.

Due to many factors that continue to effect the economic viability of some of our operations, a decision has been taken to limit the courses we at Auto-Motion will offer you, our clients in the future.

Insurance fees, car clubs doing "in-house" training, venues offering "wholesale" driver training along with inconsistent numbers on courses has meant losses to our business becoming in certain courses a frequent happening and something that can no longer be sustained."

also, in another email he gave this website address http://www.aaronmcgillmotorsport.com/ (this 100% works)

I wouldnt mind getting a certificate stating that i've done an advanced driver course just for insurance reasons.

Thank God i'm now 25yo+, i've had quotes of $2000 to insure my GTR. my gtst was costing me $2600.

Woa Mark, you upsized? I thought you were getting out of the whole skyline thing when you sold your GTS-t?

How do you like the GT-R over the GTS-t?

maybe its an Ultima GTR.

If you are still having trouble pm me and I'll try and dig up a mobile number.

I take it you guys never got the agreed SAU membership paid either?

Duncan - that's a question for Shell -

I asked Aaron to deposit the Membership $$ into the SAU account. Not sure if he did that or not - but he did promise to do it.

My membership was renewed and I didn't pay any $$ - so I assumed it was all good (maybe incorrectly)

If arron hasn't come good on his deal with me and SAU - I am happy to pay the $35 for my membership.

I think the club should persue the 8 or 9 memberships that Aaron promised to pay - (I sent Shell the details of the members involved)

This has been a fcuk up from here to never never - and I am sorry to all involved as I originally organised it. But sort of beyond my control now.

You try and do a good thing for the club and club members - but when the rules change down the track and it all goes to shit - what can I do ?

Once again, apologies to all those affected.

Duncan , if you want to give me a call to talk about what was promised etc - so that members can get some $$ or whatever back, gimme a call - I think coming from the club it might have more weight than just coming from me.

It has been way to long - and I'd like to see it all resolved once and for all - for the sake of out members.

Cheers,

Brendan

OK mate I'll chase it up thru the accounts first, unfortunatley they aren't in great shape atm but once they are finished I will double check it. Do you by chance have the list of people who should ge the membership?

And, thanks to you and others who step forward to organise events, the biggest benefit to club members is the events we run and the exec committee need help running them. Its a shame that you (and the club) had trouble with this event but that's no reason to give up on all the events that do work :rofl:

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
