Motorkhanas are great fun. They are cheap, safe and the chance of damaging your car is very low. 4WD guys would definately want to run 2WD though, from my observation 4WD cars suffer from massive understeer and ofcourse if you do get "sideways" the way your front wheels are pointing is the way you are going haha.

Have a look at this vid and tell me where the massive understeer is :banana:

I did all my runs except for the last one in 4WD

Ok Dave, as my event co-coordinator duties I'll have to go find some strippers of adequate quality. I may need some help though, you volunteering?

thats a rhetorical question, yeah?

dont forget people i have entry forms for extreme horse power show and SAU|SA is subsiding your entry by $20 for pain members

Steve - you're not suppose to tell them about the pain until after they join. I gave too much away already at the dinner by mentioning the paddle.

i think David couldn't handle to many cruises looking @ how the last one took out his engine :blink:

And my coilovers the one before that. But really I'm just holding a grudge against every one on SAU that drove past me after the bearing spun and stranded my GTR on a SAU cruise. I still remember people. Revenge will be mine! Muuhahhahahahhhaabababhaahba :banana: *drool*

Ok ok :) I was careful not to write Skylines in that post, the 4WD cars I'm talking about where all Mitsubishis. And they were understeering, one in particular got pretty close to the edge of the pad!

I dont mind us being involved in the show scene throughout the year, theres a difference between being involved in an event and hosting an event.

Motorkhana: great for beginners through to experts, relatively low cost to run and to enter

Track days: always a huge following for this one. We could host a time attack, that would be awesome.

Shows: getting involved in the import scene includes participating in shows, its not just about dragging show queens out to a dusty oval, but more about getting together to talk shit for a day and getting the club name out there :)

oh and FYI, SAUSA website is now up and running, thanks to Shannons :P

+1

and watching luke hurl his guts up

-D

love all the ideas above, also like to add observation runs are also alot of fun.

We could try and organise one with prizes at the end of the run for the highest scoring people that do the run with a bbq half way through.

if you dont know what i am talking about Luke and Steve PM me and i will explain.

Top call Shaun... observation run is a great idea. Definitely should get one happening...

TBH, I had my reservations about hosting such a thread during the exec meeting cause I thought it would get trashed with the usual shit talk by folk that never attend events anyway......but that's clearly not the case with all these great ideas coming forth for Steve & Luke to peruse........sorry Luke, you were right :P

I would be keen for anything on a Sat so i can get to adelaide

There is an 1/8th mile drag strip in Whyalla that could be a possibility (meant to be pretty shitty in places though according to the hardcore drag racers)

Keen on some beginner stuff, i haven't done a track day or similar... yet, though a motorkhana would be good fun and since it's only one on the track at a time you can go at your own pace, and ALOT cheaper then a track day which is good.

I think one dyno day a year is enough.

I think 2 car show a year is enough.

I think 2 big cruises a year is enough.

supose so, because people keen on cruises can go on other car cruises, and mallala have grip days almost every moneth, and show and shines are on every few months or so.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
