Hi Guys,

The last Motorkhana we ran seemed to be a great success!

SO we are deciding whether we hold another 1/2 day Motorkhana on either the 21s or 22nd of April. For hire of the facilities, we need to pay the total hire charge up front. It is a significant cost to the club and we need to know that if we make the commitment to hire, that we will have people attend!

The Day will be run as per the last one and at this point is open to 25 cars. The price will be $80 for members and $110 for non-members.

keen as mustard.

Just wondering why it's so much more then last time, as well as where would it be held?

We are looking to hold it at Queensland Raceway again. Last time the QR management gave us access to the facilities at a greatly discounted price as it was our first motorkhana event and run as an introduction to Motorkhana's.

This time we have to pay full price for use of the facilities and for insurances. So, unfortunately, we have to raise entry prices to cover our costs as a club. This is also the reason we have a minimum number of entrants, so we can continue to put on great events!

as above.

still keen to go none the less!

|Hope that answers your questions!

As long as I am not working I am keen! Although that weekend I think I will be because I have the following weekend off to move the rest of my stuff up from Canberra, I'll find out tomorrow... NSW and ACT Motorkhanas we need CAMS licence to participate, need it for this? If we do I need to renew mine... :)

Guys, WE ARE GO!

I got confirmation today for Sunday morning.

The Motorkhana will be held at Queensland Raceway.

Be there at 8.15 for an 8.30am start. We will have a target finish time of 12.30pm, but have been given use of the back track/skid pan 'until we are finished'.

For all entrants, please be aware that you will need to fill in an entry form, make payment, sign in and cars WILL be scrutineered for basic safety items, as per our last day, so PLEASE be on time.

All these things take up time and the longer you make us wait, the less time we have to have for fun on the pan.

P - Platers are welcome. Full lincenced drivers are welcome. People who have 1 point are welcome. Drivers on good behavior bonds are welcome. Oldies are welcome as long as the don't have a caravan in tow and sit in the right hand lane doing 90...

Passengers are welcome but helmets will need to be worn by both the Driver and Passenger. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to volunteer with starting/timing and cone retrieval.

If you have any questions about the day please feel free to contact me on 0421 973 558. If you are running late, please let me know before 8.15. If your mate who's entering is running late and you know, let me know, etc.

Having said all that, let's get out there and have some fun!!

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
