I am in the same boat @Tony Olsson. I think last time you guys gave me my new card on the day of the event, happy to do that again if that is possible!

Hi Paul, send an email through to [email protected] with some details and they will get things sorted for you by the weekend :)

Well that was an awesome day of motorkhana-ing. The team at SAU Vic would like to thank all our competitors and we hope you had a great day out there! A big thank to our volunteers who not only braved the cold but also the wet so this event could happen, big ups!!!! And thanks thanks thanks to the awesome SAU Vic committee who once again put together an event that was fun for all. Results will be released in the coming days so keep a look out for them and we hope to see you at our next Motorkhana later in the year!

Thanks everyone especially our helpers for braving the weather yesterday, it was great to see lots of new faces and some old ones too!

Here are some of the photo galleries and I will keep posting them as they go up.

Great event massive thank you legends for putting it on and also to all to those poor volunteers standing in the freezing cold so we could fang our cars. Owe you all a beer. For the first running of an event, and given the complicated logistics of getting all those cars through each stage it was incredibly smooth. Had a great day, car held together after a long sit. Great stuff.

+1 for volunteers. Just spectating this for most of the day was freezing af

Will be an awesome venue when the weather heats up again and now that we've seen what works well and what doesn't

Impressive driving man - that some nice countersteering

Do hit me up if you ever part ways with that dash...

Yeah holy crap what is that dash? Looks nice, like the golf GTI / R option. 

Layouts were good, only one I didn't like was back one where we went up to an area with gutters then back down, 80% ran I bashed my front lip on a stock height car so some of the lowered ones wouldn't of liked it either :D Would of bit into the timed runs a bit too for those wanting to take some sympathy on their cars ?

I think there must have been a couple of different lines through there.

the few that scrapped we could hear from the start line.

yet the fastest car for the 2nd pass had the lowest front lip that I saw and no scrape.

I ripped the handbrake and went down the embankment sideways to avoid any scrap, not that I have a front bar but it was the quickest way around I reckon.

The slide would avoid the lip scrape, but increase the risk of hitting the curbs that surrounded the area :P

That dash looks like a custom made tablet dash. Looks awesome, good work!

Yeah I tried the usual 'side ways speed hump' technique but maybe my soft stock suspension didn't help things when on the brake as well. Oh well maybe just something to consider for the next layouts.

It's based on a lexus LFA. Made from scratch using raspberry pi and 7" 720p lcd screen. Uses the stock sensors + a few more i've added like techedge AFR and IAT.

Thanks Birds, there was a lot of steering with throttle haha. Might make a dash kit or something one day but it's a lot of work.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
