What a fu(ken joke. If "ratings" and "post history" are all you care about well yeah why not leave. And as for SAU Vic, it's people like you who sit on the side lines and take shots but don't have the motivation to get of your arse and help that I despise.....

Come on boys... I see cracks forming in our GREAT FORUM and COMMUNITY. No need to get narky... Good progress in forum / events and members section have been made since I joined only 8 months ago, but coming from someone who is "new" also... it can be hard to get involved and does take that extra effort. If it was not for the HUGE ammount of time I spent on the forums B4 my car arrived and all the GREAT help I received (I owe you guys heaps) I think after attending my first club meeting I would have also left. I think I made an extra effort to talk to people as I remember walking into the room at the Whithorse and not a single person said hello, hi, or what are you doing hear. It's enough to send a person straight out the door. Same thing happened the next meeting... I now know a few of you and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I can see how a paid member and we have ALOT may be discouraged from arttending and putting up there hand to help the club. We have XXX members we get XX attending meetings and group x and group x talking at the meetings... thats the way I see it anyways.

Please don't get me wrong I love the SAU group, but dont get on this guys case because he is upset.

you guys ever heard about being diplomatic in your responses.

people are always going to have an opinion or issue with the club and are going to vent it on here in many ways that probably arent going to be to our or your liking, as reps of the committee you really should be a lot more tactful in your responses.

it reflects on the club.

Hi Adz, I'm not swinging shots at anyone, and personally I reckon, each to there own including Rob... but I sort of agree with him, only because of my own experiences, about the VIC club being a little "slow" in getting things done. He may have other motives, or he may not...I dont know and dont care! But damn me, I remember when I had pretty much organised the "distributors license/deal" with eXedy, and the BFGoodrich deal, and all that was needed was some paper work from the club... which never eventuated, and what a runaround.

Again, no pun intended to anyone, I really do think you guys are genuinely passionate about the club and it's direction..

OK, look it really gets up my nose.

I'm posting this here because as an indiviual I do understand the concerns of club members. I can see from thier point that for the $50 they have paid that they have not received all that much and I do agree. What people dont see is all the time we spend whilst we are working our day to day jobs and after hours. Who ever thinks setting up a club is a simple task should think again, I've got letters from the Department of Justice, the government etc. It's one hell of a big job. Of course things are going to start of small and slowly but there has been progress made and I feel things will only get better with the sponsorship as this offers you disscounts etc and also puts more funds into the bank. Just out of interest do you guys have any idea how much CAMS charge us to be affiliated? It's a fair bit let me say that! :D But there is also a lot of work to be done in the events side too, we need locations, ways to get there, people to do the run and check it etc and there are only so many ideas to come up with. Thats why so much input is aksed for and out of 109 members most of the time you can count the response on one hand. You might wonder why I take things like this so personaly though hey, well it's because no matter how hard I try it never seems to be good enough, always seem to fall just that one step short.

So all I ask is next time before someone takes a dig, how about you approach the committee about the issuepersonevent that your having an issue with and sort it out like adults instead of a child. The best resolution for conflict is discussion and I'm sure that 99% of issues that usersmembers have could be sorted with very little fuss. As an member not a committee member I am more than willing to help anyone with any issues as I'm sure a lot of you know so as stared if there is a problem PLEASE LET SOMEONE KNOW.

Also there was a VERY good point made by RTFGTR, I remember when there was no club, just a bunch of people with cars cruising and I didn't know anyone at all. For the first couple of meets I came and stood alone not knowing anyone and it wasn't untill I introduced myself that I made some great friends so I do think a little more could be done there and I will look into that myself BUT it doesn't hurt to come up and say hi on your own :)

Adz its not just about that, its sort of loosing a family album not that extreme but building it up again at the moment with the amount of hours I have spent on the forums. With something simple as keeping accounts right for users to logon without the hassle, people in this busy time of age don’t have time to f**k around or get f**ked around. Like I said I have gotten busier with work and studies making me spend less time in front of the computer, but still trying to contribute in “some ways” on the forums in the limited amount of time. I’ve been meaning to reduce the amount of time on the forums not because I don’t want to..just because I don’t have time!!! With my account gone it’s a good enough reason to give it a break.

Adz I have nothing against you, you’re a top bloke!! You’ve always helped me out with parts questions, going out of your way to help many times.

In General…my post was my opinion, I didn’t expect/need people to have a go at my opinion otherwise I wouldn’t of posted it.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
