Before Xmas, like way before as I am sure alot of ppl are going away on holidays and don't want to miss out on having there say about the future running of the club, and as for a resturant I don't think that is wise, as I am sure there will be some "raised voices" and why do want to pay to go to a meeting, I suggest someones house with a big yard, and make it a BBQ insted.

:P Good call Ben. Yeah I'm good with any day/night.

I know Gary was going to try to organise something like this for late November?

I think a casual dinner setting is a great idea. A busy restaurant may not like having someone stand up and talk about club stuff at a level in which everyone can hear properly, so might be easier to just have a meeting somewhere where there is sufficient room, kind of private (so we don't disturb other people), and easy to get to.

I would think that a quick run down of the journey up to now by the current exec's would be great, good to show all the members just how much effort went into that time. Also a run down of what issues the club has at the moment and what other things need to be addressed in the future.

It would be really good to have a list of responsibilities for all the exec's and committee members, that way when members do want to contact any of them, they can always go to the right one, rather than having either the buck passed around or getting lost in the system, NOT that this happens at all at the moment! I personally am actually curious to know what is actually involved in carrying out the roles of one of these positions.

Then open up the floor for nominations and voting followed by discussion on direction and suggestions and the motioning/seconding of actions to be taken, as I am sure there are a lot of good people with great suggestions.

From there the new exec's then can go away and have another meeting after that to make a plan of attack for ways to achieve the direction in which the club has decided on going and start to make things happening.

I don't want to sound like too much of a Nazi, but I really think that this should be open to anyone to attend, but the chair to only recognise members of the club for nominations/voting/motioning/etc. That way all those who aren't members yet can get a further insight into what is happening with the club and maybe want to make that step into becoming a member.

Just my two cents worth (ex GST) :)

I agree...

I also reckon the option to pay / join on the night and then be involved in the voting, etc would be a good idea... A bit of incentive for those that want their say but haven't joined...

nup,

I don't agree,

join on your own time.

This should be a Club Meeting only.

And should be organised by the current Club President.

this will be a club meeting, but will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. Gary said that.

but when time comes to nominate and vote only financial members will have the right. What if 50 members came who were ready to pay then and there?? thats the cams license in the bag. If they wanna join on the day let them, they have every right to. and for the president organising this?? hahahaha slip hasnt been on for a whilel last time i checked. This has to be done soon, get the new execs and commitee members in and get this thing going.

Why should the power and future direction of the club be decided by those who have all the money? I thought democracy was for all.

So you wouldnt mind if I invited 100 of my mates along, non of which are members, get one to nominate me and then all vote for me?

Hey that really is not too bad an idea, only problem is I dont have that many freinds, although I reckon I could get 100 people to vote me in, if paid the right amount :rolleyes:

JK, but that is exactly my point, then any old bastard off the street with heaps of people voting for him could potentially run the club, I am sorry but I do not want that to happen.

As a paying member I have the right to a say in what happens in the club, I right I do not think should be extended to the general public.

If you want a say, join, only costs like $50 (without the t-shirt) how hard is that?

nup,

Sorry Mud I dissagree, why not let people attend the meeting, let them see what is going on and be totally open, but they just do not have a say on nominations or voting or anything to do with the club.

Just like parlement, we can go and sit and watch the polies in Canberra, but that doesnt mean we are alowed to make up laws.

If people want to join there and then I would love to encourage them to do so! But they must be members before they can have the right to participate in club votes and the like.

no no no,

you miss understood.

My thoughts

* Anyone can attend.

* It is a meeting only not a membership drive, no joining up on the night (waste of time).

* Only paid members can vote.

* Should be organised and chaired by current president

Sounds good, still think people should be able to join if they wish so before the meeting starts, but yeah it is up to the execs I guess.

And slip does not have access to the internet so how is he supposed to organise this? Chaired yes it is his responcability to do so, but organise, he might need a hand, which is why I think this thread was started for?

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
