I came as a spectator with my friends and we very much enjoyed it. Our personal favourite was the gunmetal 32 gtr with semi slicks that was smashing the records. Who ever you are you received an applause from us, good job! :D

aww no pics of my car :D

ZCR, TURISMO and the fan club should be making the trip up from Canberra for the motorkhana on the 13th of sept.

your car is off its nutts, i loved seeing it smoke it up out there.... *thinks about a chaser now* lol

I'm gauging interest on this idea.

How about we have a social day at a pub or Thurs Night Cruise to gather as much video as we can from the day. I'm happy to put together a compilation video in my spare time (prob take a couple of weeks to a month to do well). I can then put it up on YouTube or have SL!M put them on the SAU Channel.

If you have video to contribute and could make a social meet then post a reply here.

lol @ pics of me trying to get the cone out from under Liz's car

i took those pics mate, thought you would like them!!!!!!

Best was when you stood up and said its stuck, then she reversed and it popped out all mangled! Too funny!!!!

It's actually a GTS-T with an RB20DET putting out about 157 rear wheel Kilowatts. Search in YouTube under "nerm2007" for vids of TURISMO (gungray 32GTS-T with GTR wheels, wing, bonet and grill and semislicks all around) and ZCR (Silver 32GTS-T with GTR wheels and semislicks on the front only)

Depending on back issues and what my Physio says I might give this one a go.... Since I told Zane and Reece to slap me if I back out of the next motorkhana lol *starts to think it was a bad idea to say that to them*

By Request Liz vs. MX5 Video:

Listen to that wind in the afternoon!

Had an awesome day! Never done this low speed skid stuff, very different to track days, just as much fun.

LOL, Liz and I had a great time racing each other all arvo. The cones on the left track were so out of place by the end of the day I ended up doing dounuts instead, yeh 1.6 powarrr, didn't know my car could do that!

I was so excited from the day that Alex had to stop me ripping the handbrake up going around corners on the way home.

See some of you on thursday nights =D

p.s. cassbo you are crazy

The voices in my head have been telling me that for years! :laugh:

Top day people! The first two sessions I was in it for the fastest lap time, but after I realised I had a bit of a problem remembering the course layout as well as a little bit of a power/suspension/skill disadvantage I decided to slap on the Stagea rims and rip skids! Never have done a skid pan event before, but I can truthfully say I prefer it over a drift day, all the sideways action without the stone chips :P

Looking forward to being a menace at the next Texi :(

yeah he was in my car. But he didn't do any of the timed courses

You probably got a lot of times on the go-to-whoa, but the timer probably mistook your number for another one.

So all the runs for Car 31 are mine? as everyone thought my car was 31 not 37

Awesome day boys n gals! Glad to see everyone had a ball with next to no casualties!!

Never having skidded the failvia before it was a great opportunity to just shread tyres, didnt really take much notice of course layout..... oopps Turns out the silvia likes to smoke some tyres and wheel spin all the way down the whoa-to-go.....

Now if i can just figure out how to edit a vid and upload it i will do so... positioned my camera on the rear wheel for one session.... all i can say is... SMOKIN.... :laugh:

Watch this space, ill see what i can do!

    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
