so more people who want to sign up to be members before the cruise happens can miss out? Sweet.

They could sign up today, and find out when the cruise is tomorrow. And the cruise isn't tomorrow sot hey won't miss out :D

ECR 33 - Hi, it's pretty basic really. There is a lot of planning and time that go's into these events. You've probably noticed that there are not a lot of cruises in the open Vic section these days, and you might of seen this thread from a couple of weeks ago.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=63303

Now the right idea was there but have a look through the thread and how many people are willing to put some time and effort into the organisation of things? Not many huh!

Fact is there are litteraly 100's of emails between the committee planning events etc and this takes a hell of a lot of time a good example was ther show and shine on the weekend. Anyway the bottom line is the open formus are still here, you can still run your own great ocean road cruise like the previous years it's just you or one of the open forum memebrs will have to plan it just like we did in the old days......

Mate,

An official club is offering you a service and it's up to you to take it, or not.

Do you evaluate every single amount you spend (we are talking about a few cents per week here) against what you receive in return...?

If you don't drive your car for a few days in a row, do you raise the issue with RTA and ask for fairer registration options...?

If you put a buck in a parking meter for an hour of parking, but finish your business in half an hour, do you sit in your car for the other half of the hour...?

well while reading the cams manual I came across a "Level 1 Promotional license" so I rang up the friendly staff at the cams state office and asked em what it was and if we could use it...

for $20 you get temporary access to a promotional part of a cams event. you don't have to be a paid member of that club to get the promotional license. The $20 is also refundable on your L2 license when you go to get it as long as you can show the reciept.

What the guy I spoke to said was, with that promotional license a non member could "trial" out the event and sign up if they liked em, and the club would still be covered by CAMS liability insurance.

However, he also said, its there to be used for example if we organise a track day and want to get non members interested by offering em a lap around the track during the lunch break, and that a cruise on an open road might not allow for the use of a promotional cams L1 license, but he wasn't sure because no one had ever asked, so he said to put the application in and if we got it we could give em out on the day, and if not then we don't.

I dunno if $20 is any better than $50 (personally i'd rather pay the extra $30 and be done with it for the rest of the year) for you guys, but its an option that we can explore if you want us to.

Adzmax you raise the issue of "people not being willing to organise events".

If someone wants to organise an "open" cruise, and invite everyone, how are they meant to go about choosing a date?

What happens if the date they choose collides with an "official" club event?

Non members have no way of knowing when events are being held if they can't see the dates.

If someone organises a cruise, and the date clashes with something which is already oragnised, how are people meant to know?

Do "non members" need to consult with committee members in regards to dates if they want to organise a cruise?

I can see this being an issue some time in the future.

IMHO 96c per month is nothing for a membership... The organisers organise excellent events and seem to do their best to give everyone what they want. It is afterall an enthusiasts club. If you want to be a member, be one. Don't be a non-member and complain because it is your choice to join or not!

Dude, you own a GTR but dont' want to spend the measly membership fee?

Goes to show as much as you try your best there are some people you can't please.

My suggestion is for people to join up and participate as it is *our* club and its up to us to give the appropriate feedback, help etc to improve it and help it grow.

Guys don't be too hard on him, he raised a reasonable point, he didn't say the whole things was bad, just that some members living far away do not receive the full benifits. This is a fair point but the fact is meetings a formal thing, we have them because re are required to. These business side of things, sure it's a great chance to attend and meet memebrs and have a good feed but if you miss them that doesn't mean your not getting your money's worth....

Good point. As far as I am awear (I may be wrong) the event calender is open to view for all. This means both members and non members can have a quick look and plan around SAU Vic events :rofl: I will double check this for you guys now.

Yes, thats the purpose behind the calendar.

Onus is on the oganiser to check that calendar before doing anything

yes the calendar... where we list ALL events (official, unofficial, SAU invites etc). If you organise an event or I see an event in the events section then I usually put it in the calendar. Check in there that there's no clashes and you'll be fine.

Which means yes, all official event dates will have to be listed anyways with details in the members section.

What happens when someone chooses to organise an event on the same date as an "official" event?

(someone has to stir the pot)  :)

we will hire ninja's to execute the organiser of the mutinous cruise while they sleep.

serious answer:

then we have two events listed on the calendar on the same date.

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
