Are there spaces left? What's the go if two people want to share one car? Does Mr. McGill frown upon this? I take it you also don't have any problem with non-'lines carving up the concrete? :P

EDIT: Damn, I see I'm now on the second page, and it seems to be full. Anyway, if I'm wrong, please let me know!

hey all i am pretty new to these forums and to import ownership in general.

How would i go about getting in to just watch and maybe meet a few of you guys in person?

I am interested in getting together with other people who own skylines and this seems like a good opportunity.

The buick dorifts?

Sure, don't see why it wouldn't. It's RWD, has a stack of power, and a nice tight limmie - why not? ;) It'd be a real challenge to keep on track though, when 2 tonnes breaks traction, it tends to want to go its own way. I've tested it. :)

4 tonnes of Detroit steel floating on marshmallow suspension and cross plys...you don't expect it to handle do you?? :P

Hehe Dino, it's a more conservative 2 tonnes (as above), and it runs radials now - but still, NO. :D:)

As much as I'd love to try the Riv out on the 'pan, it may not be avialable at that time - hopefully it'll be in getting treated to a full respray, and other resto work. I was intending to bring Daddy's BMW.

Anyway, see you all there as a spectator, I imagine. :)

Thanx for the pm pete, havn't been online for while. The Teins are up to the challenge, and the tyres are bald with the belts comin thru big time (your specifications pete?):P Just hope the clutch holds up till then.

Despite the the objections of a few ppl, i think the skid pan is a great place to learn to drift and learn car control. Hell of a lot safer than on the streets, way too many close calls lately.:eek:

Hi Peter,

Finally I have confirmation from Eastern Creek on the April 6th day for you,

the day is on!

I have attached a booking form that ALL drivers MUST fill out & return to

our office or they will not get a start.

No need to fill in the credit card area as I believe you have taken

depsoits?

We will require 50% deposit for all drivers ASAP as Eastern Creek require

full payment prior to confirming booking. I have done this to secure your

date.

I will have 1 instructor on hand to assist with the control and safety

during the program.

We shall begin at 9.00a.m SHARP and conclude as per Eastern Creeks booking

rules at 5.00p.m.

I'm sure your guys are looking forward to a fun day and that is what this

venue delivers, believe me!

Cheers for now

Aaron M

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
