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.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
