Confirmed Entry List (entries full)

https://www.meecamsau.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=25&eventId=609&Itemid=521

At this point entries are full, thank you everyone for the interest. Sorry to those who didn't make it in, however this is a test event for us. I'm hopeful to open entries to a larger number of people next time around.

There are still a couple of spots up for grab to new members who want to get involved. So if you've signed up in the last 12 months, PM me.


As most of our members are aware, our previous Motorkhana facility (DECA Shep) was sold in 2014. The new owners of the facility altered the hire arrangements and made it impossible to insure the facility under AASA.

The committee with your support spent a good part of 2014 investigating new venues to conduct Motorkhana and entry level Motorsport events in 2015.

I'm happy to announce that we will open entires to members for our first Motorkhana of 2015 this Friday the 16th of January 2015 at 7AM. Entry details will be published on the forums, facebook, email and on our website.
In preparation for entry you should sign up for a CAMS Event Entry login (free). As this is the system we will be using to manage entries for this event.
https://www.meecamsau.com/

We will be taking entries via credit/debit card only. Processed through the CAMS secure payment system.

There will only be 30 positions available!
Saturday the 28th of February
Members Entry Fee $85
Affiliated Car Clubs Entry Fee $105

Please read the suppregs and ensure you read through and understand them carefully.

(note this is our first CAMS template and we will improve the consistency as we move forward)

The new facility is the Foresite Training complex in North Laverton. We have to extend a thank you to the owners and operators of the site for allowing us to conduct this (and hopefully future) events.

Example of site (not setup as we will have it)

SAU VIC has been affiliated with CAMS for a number of years, which allows our member to apply for competition licenses and attend track days, hill climbs and Motorkhana events held by other clubs under CAMS insurance.

The big change for SAU VIC in 2015 is that we will be conducting events under CAMS insurance.
In previous years a AASA license would have allowed you to enter our Motorkhana events, this is no longer the case. You will need to hold at a minimum a CAMS L2NS license. This type of license will allow you to attend our and other clubs Motorkhana events only.
We would suggest that you opt to get the L2S license however, as it gives you access to attending events at track days (Sandown, Phillip Island, Winton, Calder etc).
http://docs.cams.com.au/CAMS%20Forms/Competitors/CAMS%20Level%202%20Licence.pdf

CAMS requires you to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club (of which we are), so if you aren't a member of SAU VIC become one today.

The schedule for the event will be forthcoming closer to the date. This being the first time using the site and running a CAMS based event, we expect there will be some bugs to iron out.

We will also be announcing shortly:
> Driver Skills and Practise Day (Sandown)
> Driver Skills and Timed Laps (Broadford)


Yours sincerely,
SAU VIC President
John Richardson

so the insurance is limited by the venue, eg calder/PI refuse AASA insurance.

this venue is being run under CAMS insurance and thus they don't allow AASA licenses.

we were having trouble getting AASA to cover some of our events (one of the reasons deca died off for us)

so we have moved to CAMS so yes you need a CAMS license, but still better than no events at all.

nope but they will take insurance from dodgy brothers so long as they could get a booking.

basically in VIC it just winton and calder that will accept.

we need CAMS for all the other venues we will be hiring this year as well,

plus cams work everywhere so people much better off to have that anyhow.

Entered. God bless SAU-Vic member priority entry - gonna suck if you aren't a member, looks like this is gonna sell out fast

And as for CAMS / AASA - just get CAMS, you can use it at AASA events ... So you never have a problem with will/wont it work

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
