Its on Friday because that is Gympie Show holiday!

That leaves the rest of the weekend to do stuff!

So, 3Intheback and I are running a skid day on Friday 18 May!

The day starts at 8am and finishes at 4pm.

Cost is $100. For that, you and your mate or wife get:

Free BBQ lunch

Free drinks all day

Free Tuition

Tuition is built into the day as part of the day.

Tuition is delivered in a group setting,

however one on one tuition is available to anybody who asks, in or out of your car.

We only have 16 postions available, so you have to book and prepay early.

We run these skid days for like minded guys to come

and have some fun in their cars and not brake any laws.

It is a closed day, but anybody with boost is welcome!

An LSD will be very helpful as well!

Any thoughts.. or Q's.. add to the thread or PM me!

Cheers.

Aaron

This is a great place to slide around and have low stress on your tyres and vehicle.

Because there is low numbers, that means you are not sitting around

all day waiting to have another go!

It is normal to burn between 1/4 and 1/2 a tank of fuel.

PM me if your interested or just add to the thread!

Hey Aaron,

The day I was talking about was on the 10th of March I believe. Heaps of R31 one guys there, and a friend won the 6 cyl class in his Black R32.

Just wondering if the "points" carry over some how or each event is completely separate from the last?

Our skid day was held on the 10th March.

However, I think you are thinking of the Cooloola Car Club's Motorkhana which was held around the 25th March. We don't run cylinder classes.

If its motorkhanas you're interested in you will need to contact the Cooloola Car Club.

We concentrate more on education and improving driving skills while having a lot of fun!

We have dedicated technical sessions where you can learn or upgrade your skills.

Its not boring or too difficult.

We have received a lot of very positive feedback from people who say that our days are very different to what they've done previously and that its well worth getting involved in. Heaps of fun and really hones their skills.

We are non-profit. If we do make a profit, we purchase props to aid in the running of future skid days.

I hope that clears that up!

I beleive that the skid day I'm running for SAU on Sat 19 May is now booked out!

You could still try and get a spot, you may get lucky.

Contact RevHead about that day.

I still have some spots free for Friday 18 May though.

Take a day off work and go skidding ALL day..

then have the rest of the weekend to do what you want!

like some more mods to your car or fishing, or something..

Its worth thinking about.. lol

At our skid days, you get 4 minutes on the skid pan in one solid go.

Because there is very low car numbers, you will normally be back on the skid pan in 30minutes or so.

That means you get to go skidding for 8 minutes in an hour.. give or take!

You will be on the skid pan quite alot!

cheers

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
