As you know - the annual dinner on 1st October will double as our inaugural SAU awards night. These awards are separate from the Team Wang track championship.

The club is only as strong as its members - so this night is our chance to reward those who go above and beyond the call of duty. I'd like to encourage everyone to partake in these nominations - and even more so, attend the dinner.

All members are elligible for all of following categories. We ask that you keep your specific nominations private by sending an email to the address below. Feel free to discuss and ask questions in this thread.

Email your nominations to: [email protected]

3. She'll buff right out award

The pinnacle. Who has shown themselves worthy of this honour?

10. President's award

Only one submission per member for each award.

Good luck to everyone!

James

I just can't understand why we can't hold back a little while and have the club champion ship trophy hand out on the day as well.

As for nominating, i'm nominating Mr Brissby but he just doesn't fit into any of those that Jamez stated :D, i find he's more than just any of those categories....if there is no other option i'll vote him as club member of the year.

Yeah something stupid about Jim having to race in the Porsche Cup Round at the Indy 500 and having other sponsor day commitments in the Gold Coast for the next two months.

Personally I can't see how our dinner isn't more important.

But regardless this night is more about re-capping the whole first year the club has been formed and to provide a great social opportunuty for all members to have a great night out.

What are the chances we can get old Jimbo to put a Team Wang sticker on his Porka or Commodore at Bathurst ...:thumbsup:

LOL..Club Member of the Year, i may do a lot of talking and acting up, but there are the folk behind the scenes doing the hard work, and many like Bec dont hold commitee positions:thumbsup:

Tracid: The committee will tally the nominees and make the final vote - it's up to you all as members to nominate people though.

If you're not sure of the person's name - you can use cars, forum names, vague descriptions - it's OK, we'll figure out who you mean ;)

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
