Ah turns out I have two spam folders... you win this round! (they should get their SPF DNS records in order!)

You see what happened was, I think cars are collecting me.... it's a real problem

And MX records while they at it

all guaranteed spots filled, however as mentioned sure to be drop outs prior to the day to put in entry anyhow

The cams site asks to pay by credit card even though all spots are filled...

Do we get a refund later if we don't get the spot?

Any chance of another motorkhana event being held this year?

Pretty much 100% if this event runs well.

Entries are full. There might be 3 spots up for grabs if a few people don't get back to me about their membership status.

Can some explain just what motorkhana is exactly?

I came down today to see what all the fuss was about but nobody was there :unsure: (around 3.30pm)

Maybe because the day isn't being run until the 28th of Jan Feb? :P Today was just the opening of entries for the day.

Motorkhana is an event where you take your vehicle through a set course of cones as quickly and cleanly as possible, without hitting cones or going the wrong way. It's great fun and you can compete against your mates for best times.

Here's a random vid of one from DECA (our old facility for these kinds of events, in Shepparton). Plenty more examples on youtube if you search for "SAU DECA", just look for the skidpan videos as that is what the upcoming motorkhana is going to be like :)

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
