On March 10, 3intheback and I held our frist skid pan day for the year..

We had a great day with a wide range of vehicles turning up.

I am glad to say that most of the vehicles were of the turbo powered variety.

Two of the cars were from the forum and they both performed very well.

Our next skid day will be held on May 18.

All the details are the same as the last skid day, but here they are again anyway..

Cost is $100, for 8 hours.

You get FREE BBQ lunch and FREE drinks all day for you and your wife or mate.

You also get Free tuition from a qualified instructor.

Tuition is built into the day as part of the day and is open to everybody,

however one on one tuition is available to anybody who asks..

We run these days to have heaps of fun and learn some cool tricks while we are there.

The day is open to everybody who can drive, and we do prefer cars with boost and an LSD..

The skid pan is wet with water only(as per RoadCraft rules)

so sliding around on it does not have an adverse effect on your tyres or drive train.

This is a prepaid event, so book early.

This is also a closed event. which means we lock the main gates.

The gates are opened for any customers wishing to get fuel, food or any other reason!

Feel free to ask any questions..

If you are interested, PM me and I will send you details or just add to the thread!

Cheers. Aaron

I went to the last skid pan day and had a blast was awesome to go out and have a muck around in the wet and learn a thing or two about how to controll my car a little better and had an all round great day.

I will be going to the next one for sure and hopefully will have 2 more white 33's with me this time

Also dont be worried about how long it will take to get to gympie as it is all pretty decent driving and goes quickly although the 15min to the next McDonalds sign ended up being about half an hour from the maccas, thats my only complaint!

Cheers,

Dan

Your welcome back ANY time Dan! Bring as many freinds as you can!

As Dan said, It was a great day..

The next tech session has not been set yet,

but I'm thinking along the lines of throttle control.. ..or something.

I'll keep you posted..

Yea that Macca's sign has caugt many a Big Mac lover off guard!

ohh, I'm thinking of changing my pineapples position for the next skid day!

I was getting massive amounts of rear grip.. it was a handful!

Think I'll set them up to drift instead of grip!

There are only 16 spots available, 6 are already paid for!

First in, first served! If you don't pre-pay, you don't play.

The 18 May is a Friday! Thats the Gympie show holiday.

You may need to take leave or have a sickie to come..

But it will be worth it!

Cheers.

Yvonne, If you are looking above and to the right a little of the skid pan on the map.

That is the go-cart club, and their track. It has not long been opened!

NO CARS! sorry. I'd love to have fun on that too. The whole complex is owned by ROADCRAFT.

EUG, We do a few differnt things on our skid days..

Sometimes we use that part of the track.

There are VERY strick rules surrounding the use of it,

they are set by RoadCraft.

But we can use the corner if we meet all their rules.

I'll PM you!

J-Boy, Payment details sent!

Any other thoughts?

Cheers.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
