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.

My mate said this..

'Veiw it like this! Take Friday off, Skid ALL day and enjoy yourself.

Then spend the weekend doing what you normally do!'

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
