Racingline Motorsports Presents

It's on again!

Round 2 of the Skylines Austraila DECA Motokhana Events.

When: Saturday May 27th

Where: DECA Shepparton

Cost: $70

Entries: 40

Event Schedule: Click Here

If link doesn't work try here: Click Here

Sup Req's and Entry Forms found here: Click Here

Due to the over whleming sucess of the last DECA (Giant storm excepted) we have decided to base this and the rest of the years events on a similar structure. Consequently the entry numbers have dropped from 55 to a maximum of 40 and hence the slight increase in costs.

As per usual a minimum of either a CAMS L2S or AASA Club license is required.

Like the last event this one will consist of 2 full skidpan motokhana's ( 1 x practise run plus 2 timed runs), 3 "battle" motokhana's in the afternoon with 2 runs of each plus the Long Wang ( 1 x practise plus 2 timed runs). And we will also have the return of the Short Wang as well ( 1 x practise plus 2 timed runs)

Also we hope to have a comemerative T-Shirt available to purchase at the event!

Entries are very limited and the popularity of these events means that positions will fill quickly. This will be open just to SAU members for a few days only before the rest of the usual suspects get invited.

Anyone intersted in accommodation for the weekend should look at the following thread:

A copy of the event schedule will be posted closer to the date.

Cheers

Snowy.

How about I just put you down for 48-0 now?

LOL... you forget of the R32 gewts within 1 second of any of your times then thats a handicapped win...look at James and me for christs sake, then look at our steed. I dont think anyone will begrudge us the handicap system???

Brisby - the fact that it will be the first time your engine turns over in 18 months means it's all going to be seized up. The first event is going to go something like....

Bwup-wup-wup-wup-BANG.

You'll then proceed to finish the event in James car where you'll recieve maximum points due to the penalty of using an ineligable vechile and the final score will be 48-0.

Which to be truthfull will be less embarrasing than the 48-0 you guys would have got if the car had survived all 48 events.

And I think we can find a fairer handicap than that.

Say any event under 20s = 1s, Any event between 20-60s = 2s and any event +60s we'll give you a 5s handicap. How's that sound??

:wub:

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
