Well, we got the idea from the SAU-Vic DECA days.

Part 1: everyone knows we commonly refer to the Victorians as "Mexicans," and we're North of them, as are Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona in the States. Seeing as Texas is the most often related to when discussing sharing food, culture, etc. with Mexico, as well as the majority of the border in comparison to the other US states, it was easiest to use this as a reference to us in NSW.

Part 2: the event we hold is based on motorkhana-style runs on a skid-pan, with a hill-climb thrown in for good measure.

Add parts 1 and 2: Texas + Motorkhana = Texi-Khana.

John, welcome mate!

Yes please come and say g'day mate!

We are a friendly bunch!

Just look out for a poo brown R31 as one of the official cars - thats me!

will keep an eye out.

i will be in a white 33 with a gtr front bar and gtr n1 carbon wing and black rims.

do they have helmets for hire there?

if not is there any places on the northern beaches i could grab one?

and it's long sleeve clothing yeah?

Yup long sleeve t-shirt and long pants.... not sure on helmets but you can buy a cheap one for $100... if your going to do a couple of track/drag days its prolly worth investing in one :)

cheers for the link.

just rung them, they're no longer doing the sau discount though :) .

but they're having a sale on in may i.e. tomorrow.

i'll pay them a visit on saturday before i head off down to canberra :dry:

just gotta get my sk swaybars fitted by then and it'll be sweet

ah spewing bout the helmet :dry:

Any tyre shop like tyrepower or such can do sway bars

Apparantly they aren't that hard to install

As a tip - Id have the front on hard and rear on medium

otherwise if you want some dorri action - front to soft or medium and rear to hard :)

cheers chris :D . been doing some reading and i think i'll start by going soft on the front, and medium on the rear and see how i like it

i'm getting heaps excited. my first motor sport event, and i haven't had my car for 3 months, picking it up tomorrow and it should have an extra 60-70rwkw with the 3076r :)

FagBoy....umm..I mean Mattboy!! lol

nah dude, got no semi's for the 31!

and Im doing more an official role this time but I'll do a few demo runs for people!!

r31 will pwn....some cars at least lol

oblivion - ah nice set up mate!

yeah you'll do a few days and you can change settings with sway bars and you go from there!

cheers for the link.

That's interesting to know James.. I will give them a ring and speak to them.

I know a couple of people who work there.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
