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

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
