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.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
