Hey Guys & Gals,

Reece (Turismo) & I went today to one of these Skid and Dift days - run by Dereck (owner and operator of Fifthgear Motorsports) and it was money well spent!....SERIOUSLY.

We started at about 8:15 and left after washing our cars at about 13:15 or so. So all in all a fair few hours of driving and tutorial. Well worth the money! :)

If you are wanting to tune your drifting skills, or just go out and go rank! Then you should definately look into the Skid and Drift days. However, Fifthgear offers alot more, ie; Defensive driving courses, Advanced driving courses and you can buy your self some time in Derecks car (a quite nicely modded, but simple track R32 GT-R...running at about 400HP).

Dereck is a very approachable bloke who is very good at finding a way to explain in a way you can understand anda way that can be benefictial to you, just how you need to improve your method of driving to get to the outcome you want. We both highly recomend Fifthgear Motorsport! :happy:

Well I'm not sure if the next "Skid & Drift" day will be the same special $99 price but even if it is the normal $125 price it's still worth it. I was thinking that if we could stir up enough interest through SAU and regularyly had days there then we might get a nice little discount...but.... I really dont mind spending the normal price.

LOL Nice work....yeah the non public sessions thing is something that reece and I have been organising with some friends but I definately think that we should get an SAU day organised. Teacher and students all with Liners!....Well bar one underpowered BMW....but hopefully that will be gone soon or at least I'll have my track car.

I just realised aside from the SAU day which I would like to do I am going to one (should we get enough people) for a mates birthday.....Isn't Dereck going to be happy that he met us!

Nup, different guy and company.

Ah yes the drop out rate is high BUT we have one small thing that helps there be as small a drop out rate as possible.... prior payment! You have to pay before you go! So what we could do is set a date in the not too distant futur but certainly enough time to organise 8 people and then we could pay for oursleves. Anyone drops out :) - thats fine! Because Dereck get his money and we still get to go to the Skid Pan (in fact its actually better the fewer people there are as you have more time and more opportunities to get out on the Pan) :) .

I'm not sure but I think we can make a booking around that time anyway. I know myself and Reece (TURISMO) and going to the public one also.

Look, how about we do this.... LIST! Simply put your name and mobile down in a post and once we have about 8 we can organise a time when we can all meet.

im definately in for a private session....

i've been trying to organise a skidpan day at eastern creek with aaron mcgill motorsport. his skidpan days are just awesome. games, timed team racing and even racing against other cars at the same time. but they are much more expensive than $125....

2 months seems like a good time frame. everyone can organise time off work if need be and get their cars ready if their not already...

count me in. i can probably drum up a few more as well....

i might even give the next public session ago!

looks like we should get 8 easy. If we dont get the numbers for a private session then i will prob go to a public one anways i never even thought these were done in this area... i was thinking i would have to go to wakefield... granted i know this is not a race track or anything but still a good safe area to push a few limits of the car's handling

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
