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 can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
