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:

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
