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!

I'm sure you are going to have heaps of fun when u come to my skid day.. I'm really looking forward to it!

The Tech session will be different for the 2 days. You are more than welcome to attend both if u wish!

I'll bet good money you would be all skidded out by the end! lol

We call our selves SlideWize. We are not related to the sponsor of this site. It just so happens we share a name!

We ran a day on the 10th March. Is that what you are talking about?

We are running 3 more days this year not including the day that is booked for SAU.

Any body with boost is more than welcome to come!

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

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
