lol @ Ryan...i was thinking of driving up in the morning with the semis on!! a little risky but i want them to be warm before i hit the track....and i wont do big burnouts....maybe

this thread is reminding me of when i used to play indoor soccer with a group of lebo mates, turn a fun time into a world cup "why the f**k u didnt pass" "why did u miss that goal" "stupid keeper"...blah blah blah

meh its a fun thing to do, theres no money or prizes to win, if u wanna get all competative invest in the v8 supercars or sumthing,

ITS A FUN TIME AND KEEP IT THAT WAY

I got 31st! At first I thought it wasn't anything spectacular, but after reading all your posts I'm feeling much better about it. I've never done anything like this before (not even on the streets), and was driving a stock, heavy NA, so I'm quite happy.

Okay, I'm done tooting my horn.

Just got back from Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club Vs. FOrd XR club motorkhana and would like to share some ideas which was used in their format.

Their skidpan runs are based on official cams motorkhana circuits

http://cams.com.au/en/Sport/Disciplines/Au...sts%202002.ashx

They split the skidpan in 2, and had 2 seperate skidpan courses on each side (Instead of sauvic having one large skidpan event taking up the whole pan)

The Cams circuits (for example "Happy Birthday" and "World Tour") are small but have plenty of turns in order to do a lot of sideways fun or aim for quick timing. It's also good for the low-powered cars as they dont need huge amounts of power to get from one side of the skidpan to the other.

A couple of goods one are "crossover" and "Straight slalom" etc all small in size but are quite difficult and dont require a lot of power to be quick.

Also at the end of the day, they had a knock out challenge which consisted of slalom up and then back down to the finish line (an idea for future knock outs for sauvic?)

So just throwing out some suggestions for future deca's :)

Cheers

I went to the Ford DECA day after after one of the SAU DECA's. The courses were way to tight and slow and the only reason they ran that type of course is because the officals said they tried using the whole skid pay and the ford guys kept spinning off the skid pan ( Hinted "they can't drive very well") and it was in their best interest to keep it small and safe.

Semi's are rubbish. Keep it real on the limiter and streets!!!

The easiest way to avoid having another wreck to deal with is just to not crash, seems pretty straight forward? lol

Why didn't I think of that one? :)

Car's at the panelbeaters now. I'm not going to see any change from $2,000 (could be more) and I'm supplying loads of second hand parts I've got for free or cheap.

You should feel good about it! You did well for that car IMO. You'll do even better next time. I remember lining up against you in a battle and we were trying to work out whether we should go for it or just put on a show :bunny:

im excited about entering for the first time in november but im scared as well lol i have no idea what my car will be like but i have to learn somehow. also loved those pics Adzmax, they made me lol. :)

Don't be scared mate, you'll be having too much fun. Everyones real friendly and there are plenty of first timers. Besides...stunts, slides and f*** ups get applauded. It's a great place to learn the limitations of your car without looking like an ass / endangering lives.

Why didn't I think of that one? :P

Ouch, that sucks. It really didn't look that bad when I saw it. The passenger side of my R33 is costing my insurance company about $5500 to repair and it's all aesthetic damage.

I remember speaking to one of the people taping the skidpan stuff and he said he was gonna give the tape to Ryan so he can cut it up for us? I'm going to bring both a spectator and a vid camera next time lol.

i have about 15 or so vidz, with mini wang, ahem some long distance wang, skid pan, and even juliett's car being towed. haven''t had time to put on youtube and was in no rush as amateur footage, n popularity. with no offence to Garbz missus! i still like them as the vidz are of the cookies and cream cars.

p.s. take a big camera/cam to november deca

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
