This year we joined in with the WRX club on thier track events. There were about 6-7 of them i think.

Non-nissan cars are welcome - the only thing SAU Vic doesn't like is stupid behaviour.

Tracks we race at are P.I, Winton, Sandown, Calder, and there was a hillclimb but don't think any of the SAU guys did it, just the WRX guys.

We are all a pretty friendly bunch, but be careful of the wang guys that go out the night before track-days, it can get messy :)

Hey there,

SAU Vic runs an annual motorsports competition in conjunction with the WRX Club of Victoria. This year there were 7 events (was supposed to be 8 but one was cancelled) and they were held at Calder Park, Winton Raceway, Sandown and Phillip Island between Feburary and October. Also there was a hill-climb event available at Morwell and we had a club motokhana day at DECA in July and have a second one coming up in November.

On top of this the regular track goers from the club participate in other club track events such as the up-coming Maserati Day at Sandown and a few others are looking at attending the Alfa Club day at Phillip Island in December.

Our club is not biased towards veichles. Infact in our competition we have had club members running in Silvia's, Supra's, EVO's, Liberties, a Volvo and a TX5 (that can never lose!). So all are welcome to come and join us for some fun.

The club is CAMS affiliated so our members can sign up for a license no problems and we have plenty of regular track goers that can help point you in the right direction of requirements if your just starting out. Hope that answers all you questions for now.

Cheers

Snowy.

Oh yeah, totally biased towards Skylines.

I recall a recent committee meeting where we had a Mazda6, a Laser, a Ford ute, a WRX, a Daewoo, a Gemini and a Lada :)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
