just did a full day on EC's new skidpan

awsome suff just some motakana shit( need a new set of rear tyres now though, vids up soon.

only cost 20 bux and was a full days entertainment.... i highly recomend

lots of wrx out there

dont worry i did the dato's proud

i found out that it is possible to light the rears and drift for over 50 seconds around a motorkana course, the slalome is hard to drift (had all the hyundi wrx boys jelouse cause they dont know what drifting is (poor 4wd dicks))

but its definately not the quickest way around the track thats for sure (but the most fun)

maybe we should have a club day there

motorkhana - Motorkhanas are motor sport events designed to test the acceleration, braking and handling of cars and the skill and judgement of drivers. Most importantly, motorkhanas provide fun and enjoyment whilst practising and learning car control. Oversteer and understeer will be found in abundance, but at safe speeds under controlled conditions.

The new skid pan is just to your right as you drive out of tunnel coming into EC pits. It's fantastic. Very smooth-my tyres are in pretty good shape considering the skid pan was dry for most of the day. The watering system works pretty good too, but they only turned it on for about 1/2 hour.

It's official Pete-you are a nutcase. I was waiting for you to pop both rear tyres summernats style. A great display of drifting and you certainly deserved the applause.

You can now add the NSW WRX Club and the Renault Car Club to the list of people who think you are crazy.

If you think WRXs can't slide you obviously weren't watching Nandor going off!

Bloody good fun and I'm definitely going to do it again. I might get onto an Aaron McGill skid pan day. Apparently his courses are more open and he actually wets the skid pan down.

A great day had by all-I was still buzzing when I got home!

Pete I did that course in 18 sec (and went straight through the finish garage-oops) but who says I wasn't having fun? Nailing those handbrake turns and then dumping the clutch into a 4 wheel slide is one of the best moments I've ever had in a car. And that includes drifting in the wet in my old XR6.

Aaron McGill runs the wet skid pan days that don't use CAMS motorkhana courses (the CAMS courses are usually 1st gear only and very tight). Aaron's days are slipperier and faster from what I've been told. Felafel, I'll tell fatz to post something next time one is coming up.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
