Just letting everyone know there will be both the r31 club skid pan day and MG car club canberra motorkhana are on this Sunday at Sutton Rd Driver Training Centre.

The Motorkhana will be on all day, and the skid pan will kick off around 8.00 and finish off around 12.30

I will be competing in the motorkhana and Thomas (Mccready) will be doing the skid pan day.

I have a couple of spots for passengers in the Motorkhana if anyone wants a ride, but to be honest, I like having a passenger, it settles the car and evens the weight out.

So really I need passengers, so get your bums out to Sutton Rd and help me win!!!!!! :P

Rebecca said she'd love to be a passenger (not sure you want THAT MUCH weight though) *thump* I should have written that without her standing behind me.

She is keen though and might help her learn. How much is it to enter?

Thanks for everyone coming out and supporting me, next time you guys will have to come out and do it yourselves.

Also next time I will have some more spots available for passengers so come out and get scared shitless!!!!

And to all asking for results about the motorkhana, in the 6 tests, I got 4 fastest, a 2nd fastest, and one somewhere in the field (hit a cone, and didn't stop in the garage) Official outright time I will get in a week or two

P.S. Has anyone got any photo's, just wanted to know if Mark or anyone got a photo of me trying to grab the flag?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
