Guys,

Just wanting a bit of feedback regarding the events held at DECA on the weekend. Due to the overwhelming response to run another event and whilst it's still fresh in everyone's mind we'd just like to know what you enjoyed most on the day so any future events can be planned accordingly.

Can vote for more than one option.

I loved every damn second of the weekend!

I think if there had of been lights on the skid pan, I'd be there all night!

Loved it.

Bring on the next one

i can get you some lights for next time ,if you want, if i come. i work at kennards hire in bayswater and i think we have 8 x 1500 watt flood lights and genarators to run them. The boys at work said someone from skylines australia came in to get a walking measure just after i left. too bad i missed ya. Sounds like you guys had lotsa fun..!

Even though I liked the lot, I was not the biggest fan of trying to change from forward to reverse (and back). It seems to me like that could brake the gearbox easily if you get too exuberant with it.

I'm much prefer to have all the 'khanas completed in the forward gears.

I liked it all particularly chaps laps, except the last session which was pointless and had no specific motorsport value. I'd rather give the volunteers a shot at the courses again rather than waste time like that. They deserve it.

:werd:

getting into reverse in the 6speed s15 is a pain - takes some of the fun out :)

lets just do it in forward gears ;)

It just adds another level. This event was practice for a similar event that will be in dutton, so I wanted to practice my reverse J turn. Promise we will never have more than one of these, but it did have some underlying value for the four of us who are competeing in Dutton this year.

All in all thou. I loved all the events.

i agree, reverse does add another level. crunched a few gears tho... chaps and essendon were both great because they were so different.. witht the sweeping last turn of essenden i think all the rwd boys had a ball.... one big drift; where as chaps was a bit more technical. i think the last free session would have been better with the whole pan rather the divider but i totally understand the idea of splitting it so we had more time on.

be quiet I had heaps of fun in that last session ;)

muahaha

although its true about the volunteers...

For what it's worth I actually for the one with the reverse my favortie one of the day. Basically 4 handbrake turns, a reverse flick and lots of getting the power down with a huge stop - all whilst racing someone else. I thought it was tops.

I actually found the stop - go the hardest part on the car but we had to have that from CAMS restrictions.

Anyways - thanks for the feedback. It seems a pretty even spread of enjoyment which means people enjoyed the whole day.

Which is why you want to hand brake 180 into the box, and come out in first gear =p

loved every single aspect, only thing I'd change is more shots at the short wang course and less time arsing about at the end

Keep the reversing maneuvres, even add more in - it's just another facet to car handling and that's what motorkhanas are all about!

    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
    • If you do make them, im sure you would have a number of buyers.. Every GTR I've been in have rattly door windows
