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.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
