Round 5 of the NSW Motorkhana Cahmpionship is being held at the Oran Park Skidpan by the Volkswagen Club of NSW

If you do not know what a Motorkhana is, have a read of www.motorkhana.com ;)

Those who entered last time had a ball and were also very competitive with Duncan winning his class and myself winning 2 of the events in my class :mad: (I'm still ahead of him by 1 place though ;))

This is a fantastic opportunity to get into some motorsport. Stress on the car is minimal and it's GREAT FUN :)

Where: Oran Park Skidpan

When: Sunday the 11th of July

Cost: $50 Entry Fee

Bring: Long Sleeve shirt, Long pants, Closed shoes, CAMS L2S Licence (if you have one already), your SAU NSW Member Card (if you have one already), a Pen (Helmet's were not required last time but bring it just in case )

YOU WILL NEED TO BE AN SAU NSW FINANCIAL CLUB MEMBER TO ENTER THIS EVENT

of course if you belong to any other CAMS Affiliated car club then that is fine as well

Applications for membership will be accepted on the day and costs $50. You will also then need to purchase a L2S CAMS Licence which will cost $83. Forms for both will be available to you on the day.

This will also be the unveiling of the Team Raceworx Motorkhana Car to be piloted by Kelly Handley and myself.

Supplementary Regulations are unavailable as the club running the event have chosen not to distribute them, they're advise it just turn up on the day, fill in the entery form and away you go. If you'd like to read the supp regs from the last event (which wont be too different to this one) then they are available HERE

Hope to see you guys there ;)

Can't wait for the "Un-Veiling" of the team Raceworx's car. :D;):):)

Guy's If you want a low key,,,TOP Motorsport fun day,,,this is it. It's very casual and every car imaginable competes. Last time we had everything from their single seater specials down to an auto LC Torana driven by 2 kids.

Neil.

I will be unveiling my secret weapon.

Now I just have to finish modifying the jet engine to fit.

Hmmm

Bloody hell another un-veiling.

I'll un-veil my monster right in here. N12 Pulsar,,,Auto. Striped and as Mel has nicknamed it the "HUMPSTER"

Neil.

hehe we'll have something out there but its looking less and less liekly to be the mighty 200b....hell of a lot of work to pull a diff out of one of those ;)

Neil, can't wait to see your beast out there :(

Well I took to the streets for a little early motorkhana practice last night.

Got fishtail?

i like your style

i watched a jap drift/track (but mostly drift) dvd last night

then i went to get some fuel. it's very hard to be sensible after you've just watched a drift dvd hehe

anyway sorry, i better keep it on topic eh. should you bloody good fun on sunday. go the skylines! bloody lsd tho. wish i could get it locked up before sunday.

Neil....good plan...wish I had thought of that before I got half thru the job

Mark....I say we do a group buy on diff welding at Nathans :cheers:

the old garage has needed a few more tools since the datsun moved in, big arse breaker bar was todays addition, 30 year old bolts are *hard* to undo

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
