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:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
