Thanks to everyone that came out to have a look and support SAUACT Motorsport, was a good day and you dont understand how much fun and cheap ($25) motorkhana's really are. Along with the skid pan, they are a really good way to learn and practice car control in a safe enviroment.

I have the full results for anyone interested, but here is a quick wrap up of my day.

After a very long Saturday and 2 short sleeps, I was a little tired in the morning, which was clear buy 3 big mistakes (2 cone hits and I didn't quite stop in one of the garages) in the first 2 courses resulting with a 5 second penalty on the first course. These mistakes didn't affect the 2nd course as much as I only hit a cone in my first run at the course and was only .1 off the fastest time. Luckily I woke up in the afternoon and stepped up my game and got the the next three fastest times and second fastest by 2/10ths in the last course, which included some reversing. The first time they included a reversing course, so MGCCC decided to not count it in the aggregate time. Overall it was a pretty good day, First in Class, and Second Overall by .47 of a second !!!! :cool: and if it wasn't for the 5 sec penalty.........

all I can say is Oh So Close!!!!! :D

Best Aggregate John Malkovitch Dutton rally prepped EVO 6 137.45

Second Best Aggregate Reece McIntosh R32 GTS-T 137.92

Third Best Aggregate Donovan Suine Lada Niki with 1800cc Alfa 143.89

Best Time for Test 1 - Offcentric John Malkovitch 25.32

Best Time for Test 2 - Tee Slalom James Backhouse 18.33

Best Time for Test 3 - Eccentric Reece McIntosh 34.38

Best Time for Test 4 - Enterprise Reece McIntosh 24.80

Best Time for Test 5 - Renno Diamond Reece McIntosh 27.53

The best time for the Reverse Tee Slalom was Brad Whittaker with 29.72.

It was a good battle between John and Reece with Reece not doing himself any favours by incurring a 5 second penalty in the first event.

The next motorkhana is planned for Sunday, 24th August 2008.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
