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.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
