I had the SkyEighty in last year and had a blast, this year depending on condition, the thirtyfour will make an appearance, but since I dont have time to prepare when car arrives, Don't wont to go repping any companies that havent had a chance to work on it yet ;)

Was poking around SCCSA's website and this was in their August Newsletter:

Small Car Sunday – November 17th – 19th 2006

This year’s format will reflect a slight departure from the formula of past years. As usual, the SCS Committee will be calling for volunteers from all Sections of the Club, and welcome any help that is forthcoming. A brief précis of the weekends events are:

The Friday night cruise will use the existing format, however the starting point for 2006 will be the South Parklands and culminate at a venue in the southern suburbs.

Saturday is traditionally the motorfest component of the weekend. Various options are still being investigated. We will make an announcement once specific details are confirmed.

Sunday Show’N’Shine. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the availability of Immanuel College (they have started major capital works), the SCS committee considered several alternative sites for viability. The outcome is that the Sunday Show’N’Shine will be held at Allan Scott Park (aka Morphettville Race Course). This venue will comfortably accommodate 500 cars, and traders, in both covered and open air areas, and will allow for expansion in years to come.

The event coincides with John Blanden’s Climb to the Eagle on the Friday, and Classic Adelaide over the weekend, however the availability of the two venues made this weekend the only one suitable. Our belief is that the spectator demographics of these other events will not impact on Small Car Sunday – the fact that Adelaide will be abuzz with motoring enthusiasts may actually be a major positive!

Am i wrong in saying that at the last car show held at morphetteville race course resulted in a large number of cars being defected at the event and then on leaving aswell??

Does anyone know if we will be given any "get out of jail free cards" with entry??

Don't know about morphetteville race course, but when it was on at immanuel college there were a number of police cars waiting at the exit. One of the sponsors was done in a big way which was really upsetting to most of us.

Cops gave my car a look up and down, one silvia in front of me got so pissed off he let a ripper of a burnout infront of the cops.

Ive been in the last few SCS and there has been a large police prescence on leaving the event, but never really saw anyone have problems as long as they were obeying the road rules, but i heard about the event no long that was held at morphetteville, i think i was called extreme show and shine or something, there was a thread on here at some stage on the topic where people were getting there cars defected on the way in, and even cars in the car park were getting done. Hopefully if the event is organised as it has been in past years there shouldnt be any hassles.

yep i went to that one, was called autotechnica i think. the cops turned the entrance inside the gate into a defect station, with witches hats and everything, until the course owner told them to piss off because it is private property. they then proceded to set up their little station outside of the gates... f**kin lame if you ask me. these events allow us car enthusiats to have some fun with our cars off the streets and they still cant help but be a hassle.

That's just absolutely s**t. The Cops are getting too big for their boots & don't know when to back off. I don't know how they expect the Import scene to give them any sought of credit or respect when they continue to pull stunts like this. And the Import scene is a growing one.....

go easy on them theve seen far to many d**k head doing stupid things like leaveing these sort of shows and i mean leaving the exit of them drifting it sideways only to hit a tree or worse another car they get called to that and ask the P plater (normally) where you come from and he say oh thast show n shine hows it look for the sence

if we all leave sensibly and dont have things hanging off out car and sounding loud you should be ok

go with a car that looks illeagal and expect to get it looked @

The cops were actually at Autotechknika for a few certain people, yet obviously can't just ping like 2 cars, have to make it look like their after anyone :D

Last SCS, cops just nodded at me in the SkyEighty, it was low and loud, they didn't care.

hopefully the 34 gets the same non-attention from cops.

got a couple funny idea's for display if anyone is interested?

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
