Quite a well organised event and had a heap of fun. Even with the early morning rain and late afternoon wind it didnt seem to effect the fun. Knew my little car wouldn't be suited to this type of event but just wanted to see how it would react and the result was predictable.

Lots of other cars were great fun to watch, some people were big on handbraking every single cone, others liked to throw the back end around and some just drove it as quickly as they could.

If anything I think the only downside of the day was not enough time to actually watch other people compete. Maybe next time instead of having 2 groups on 2 different courses have 1 group at a time and get a set amount of laps then swap to the other group or something I dunno.

If anyone has pics of the little blue car as seen in my avatar please post them up or pm me for my email address.

Good job guys see you at the next event.

OK, thanks to EVERYONE for coming to this event either to participate, volunteer or even just spectate!

To the participants, I'm glad everyone had a good time, and as far as I saw, there were minimum casualties as far as dead or dying cars go. Luckily for everyone who was out there, tyres were the only things to suffer in a major way! This is PROOF that these kinds of days are reasonably easy on your cars.

To the volunteers - "Xmetal" Ian for photos and cone picker-uppering, "~Jay~" Jason, "Oz GTR32V" Paul (and his wife) for help with the BBQ and entertaining us in the Ford "Terrible-tory", Doof's girfriend Anna (and Tegan) for helping with timing, Charles and Clinton, and anyone else who I may have missed - our many thanks for helping out with the running of this event.

To the SAU-NSW Executive crew and support team - Neil, "Abo BOb" Adam, "Sl!m" Sam, "N1GTR" Steve-O, "DRD-00F" Steven, "Ando," Duncan and Kel, and "FloydWestwood" Dave, you all did amazing work to run this day!

Oh, and thanks also to Duncan for taking me out for a run in the Zed in the morning on Course 1 and the Go-to-Woah, and Zane for an afternoon run through the slaloms!

i was only a spectator on saturday so i would be super keen for a Motorkhana, anyone else interested in this one?

A big big thankyou to all the organisers and everyone who helped out on the day. It was soooo much fun and I can't wait to do it again. Only thing that broke on my car were two brake light globes which is pretty good (Thanks to everyone that let me know) Can't wait for the next one :) I'll try and get some pics up as soon as I can.

Looked like a great day! I was very disappointed when I couldn't get my car back together in time. I had two sets of tyres ready and a keen interest to destroy them.

Glad to see someone picked up my entry on the day, #34. Whoever it was, drop me a pm so we can chat.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
