no sorry Saru, not from me....typical internet all talk and no turn up.  The axle is still sitting in the middle of the floor borken.

But please keep us posted about other events, I'd love to give something down there a shot later in the year.

All the best with the numbers :D

The Zed is out too :Oops:

Mr Nissan has still not figured out the clunking in the steering (suspect broken bushes but they reckon they know best).

I'm not soft, i just dont have a car, sau membership or licence

So what are you trying to tell us??? apart from being a lazy bastard. A motorkhana would be great for you,,,. Get Mom or Dad to pay for club membership,,,then basic Cams licence and use their car. Easy. Bit late now but maybe next time.

Now how do I find the complex???.

How familar are you with Canberra?

Coming in down the Federal Highway, turn right onto Sutton Rd which is just (about 200m - maybe less) after Macs Reef Rd. Sutton Rd and Macs Reef Rd are just before you enter the ACT. Continue down Sutton Rd. The Driver Training Centre is quite visible from the road and is on the right if you're coming south down Sutton Rd. If you reach the intersection with Piallago Rd (spelling?) you've gone about a km too far. I think the Driver Training Centre is about 10-15kms from the turnoff. You can't miss it, as long as you're on Sutton Rd.

If you have a map (I like the free one from the NRMA) you'll be fine.

R31_silo2: If you can get a car for the day that someone is happy for you to semi-abuse, we can organise a day-licence for you that does not require car club membership. It will be $10 on top of the $40 entrance fee. You need to tell me before 5pm on Monday 17th Jan or else I can't guarantee you a spot.

Hi Saru, If my ride was in shape to do this event I'd be there.

R Spectators welcome ? If so I'll come down for a looksee and that way I'll know the drill for the next one.

I note since you posted there's been little response from the local SAU, me included.

Soz mate.

Hey Angus.....if you really are interested you can get a cams license for motorkhanas from 14....you just need someone to lend you a car. even better as a "junior" most events will let you run with a passeneger/instructor to help out.

best way to learn to handle a car :P

now i wait for the offers of a car..... anyone :P

Come in your parents car :D Seriously, if you're a learner, I'd be very surprised if you came close to hurting it.

Don't be afraid about coming in an "embarassing" car, either (this goes for anyone!) - so far we have Mazda 808s, 1970s Chyrsler/Mitsubishi Lancers and a 1986 323 (among other things). There are no "embarassing" cars if your actually competing!

I would usually use my beat up 1983 Pulsar but seing as how I don't have a tow car yet I'll be using the Skyline. The diffs now back in slippery mode so expect a lot of sideways action.

what do you actually do in a motorkhana anyway HAHA

Cams have set courses that you have to follow,,,basically its a series of witches hats or flags that you have to negotitate in the correct order. When I have used the skyline in other motorkhanas I have only ever used 1st gear,the handbrake and reverse.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
