SAUQLD's first Motorkhana day!

12th February 2012

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Motorkhana - The Art of Dodge Ball with cars and witches hats!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So you think you have some most excellent driving skills?

Ever found yourself frantically bashing at your keyboard telling the world of your mad skills? How you made it to a level 31 GT-5 Driver, Beat a 900HP mud boat to a car parking spot, out drifted Ken Block at Capalaba, and that your 'Line is faster sideways than in a straight line?

Come and prove your Mettle with our first Motorkhana day at Queensland Raceway!

What is a Motorkhana?

A Motorkhana is a car and driver test event. There is a start and finish gate with a set course that is laid out on a skidpan with witches hats. The event is timed for each car. The aim is to do the course in the shortest possible time.

Sounds easy, Can I do skids?

Yes you can, but there are time penalties involved with this event.

There is a 5 second penalty for hitting a cone. If you hit 3 cones, that's 15 seconds onto your time! There is also a penalty for a Wrong Direction of 30 seconds. A DNF (Did Not Finish) will get you the slowest time for that course + 30 seconds.

The aim of the day is to get the lowest time.

Sounds Complicated, can I have an instructor?

There will be no 'instructors' on the day, however we may have a few 'coach's' available. Insurance does not cover anyone who was being instructed, however having a course coach is.

Can I have passengers?

There will be only 1 passenger per car permitted, however both the driver and the passenger will be required to wear an approved helmet and be wearing seat belts. The helmet is required for when you and your passenger smack heads together?

So how much does it cost?

Being our first introduction into motorkhanas, we have decided to have it at a reduced price. The cost will be $40 per entrant.

As this is our introduction into Motorkhana's, there are a limited number of spots available. To secure your spot you will need to complete the entry form and email it back to [email protected]. Make sure you get it in fast, as there is only 25 positions available. The faster you get it in, the more chance of getting a spot! Your entry will be confirmed once payment is received.

Name: Skylines Australia Queensland Club

Bank: Westpac

BSB: 034 063

Account Number: 354 012

(Please do not send cash in the mail, for obvious reasons!)

Payment is needed by Monday 6th February, so get cracking!

And what time does it start?

The day will kick off at 8.30am and go through until 12.30pm. We will be doing a drivers briefing at 8.15am so make sure you're there before that!

Anything else I need to know?

Yes, you will need to have everything inside the cabin that is loose, removed. That street directory, empty coke bottles, busted laptop, your spare intercooler and that broken PS3 controller all need to be taken out of the car!

You don't want them smacking you upside the head do you?

If you miss out and don't get a spot, don't worry, you can go down on the reserves list. If people pull out, then you may still get to have some fun on the pan! Also, it's great to watch and we'll need a few people to help out, so come along!

Awesome, how to I join the fun?

Grab the attached entry form, fill it out and send it in with your payment. It's that easy. Then you can join us as we throw our cars around witches hats on the skidpan.

You know you want to!!!!

Motokhana's are bucket loads of fun - SAUNSW's been loving them for 6 years now (4 per year).

Guys just enter this, you'll have a blast, even if it is run by a guy with a Telstar :D

SpewBucket knows all about Motorkhanas. Take his advice and give it a go!

sounds interesting, i'll have to talk to the "boss"

Get to it! It's only $40!

Sounds great. Any special requirements eg. CAMS license, CTP extension?

No special requirements as it's considered a low speed event. All you need is your membership card and you're eligble to enter!

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
