Motorkhanas are great fun. They are cheap, safe and the chance of damaging your car is very low. 4WD guys would definately want to run 2WD though, from my observation 4WD cars suffer from massive understeer and ofcourse if you do get "sideways" the way your front wheels are pointing is the way you are going haha.

Have a look at this vid and tell me where the massive understeer is :banana:

I did all my runs except for the last one in 4WD

Ok Dave, as my event co-coordinator duties I'll have to go find some strippers of adequate quality. I may need some help though, you volunteering?

thats a rhetorical question, yeah?

dont forget people i have entry forms for extreme horse power show and SAU|SA is subsiding your entry by $20 for pain members

Steve - you're not suppose to tell them about the pain until after they join. I gave too much away already at the dinner by mentioning the paddle.

i think David couldn't handle to many cruises looking @ how the last one took out his engine :blink:

And my coilovers the one before that. But really I'm just holding a grudge against every one on SAU that drove past me after the bearing spun and stranded my GTR on a SAU cruise. I still remember people. Revenge will be mine! Muuhahhahahahhhaabababhaahba :banana: *drool*

Ok ok :) I was careful not to write Skylines in that post, the 4WD cars I'm talking about where all Mitsubishis. And they were understeering, one in particular got pretty close to the edge of the pad!

I dont mind us being involved in the show scene throughout the year, theres a difference between being involved in an event and hosting an event.

Motorkhana: great for beginners through to experts, relatively low cost to run and to enter

Track days: always a huge following for this one. We could host a time attack, that would be awesome.

Shows: getting involved in the import scene includes participating in shows, its not just about dragging show queens out to a dusty oval, but more about getting together to talk shit for a day and getting the club name out there :)

oh and FYI, SAUSA website is now up and running, thanks to Shannons :P

+1

and watching luke hurl his guts up

-D

love all the ideas above, also like to add observation runs are also alot of fun.

We could try and organise one with prizes at the end of the run for the highest scoring people that do the run with a bbq half way through.

if you dont know what i am talking about Luke and Steve PM me and i will explain.

Top call Shaun... observation run is a great idea. Definitely should get one happening...

TBH, I had my reservations about hosting such a thread during the exec meeting cause I thought it would get trashed with the usual shit talk by folk that never attend events anyway......but that's clearly not the case with all these great ideas coming forth for Steve & Luke to peruse........sorry Luke, you were right :P

I would be keen for anything on a Sat so i can get to adelaide

There is an 1/8th mile drag strip in Whyalla that could be a possibility (meant to be pretty shitty in places though according to the hardcore drag racers)

Keen on some beginner stuff, i haven't done a track day or similar... yet, though a motorkhana would be good fun and since it's only one on the track at a time you can go at your own pace, and ALOT cheaper then a track day which is good.

I think one dyno day a year is enough.

I think 2 car show a year is enough.

I think 2 big cruises a year is enough.

supose so, because people keen on cruises can go on other car cruises, and mallala have grip days almost every moneth, and show and shines are on every few months or so.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
