Hi!, for those who care..

I will not be taking individual car bookings for the skid days I run in Gympie for any more skid days.

That Job Has now gone to Grant (who is not on SAU yet).

Grant will be the contact person if u want to go to the local skid days I run.

He will be taking all the bookings for next years dates as well.

3intheback and I are busey men and we have handed the job over.

We are both confident that the transisition will be very smooth, and he will do the job well.

I will post up his email very soon.

Warren and I will be running the days, Grant will be taking the bookings.

Cheers

So every body understands what we are on about..

The ethos of our skid day is this...

Grab your street car..

grab some fuel and your mate,

go to the skid pan and scatch an ich..

Drive your car as it is..

learn how it acts and reacts on a slippery wet surface.

Have some fun...

Talk to some of the other drivers,

have some more fun.

Get some tuition.

Learn what your car is asking of you..

have some more fun scratching that ich,

skid around and play a bit more,

if the need arises, grab a free soft drink.

Now you are starting to get an idea of what is happening,

Get some more tuition..

Learn some new skills,

then, hone your new skills,

put new skills into practice.

Grab a snag off the BBQ and eat a burger.

just for a difference, do a a bit itch scratching

try not to smile so hard that it hurts!

After about 3 skid days like this.. you will catch onto what we are on about!

The Skid day that I'm running this sat will probably net about 6~8 bookings..

They will go extremely fast. We are getting faily well know now, we have guys coming from the gold coast and as far as Ska's home town of Rocky. I am tring to give everybody ample opertunity to book in..

take my advise.. do it this week!

i was lucky enough to attend on saturday and i learnt a great deal about the handling of my car and a great deal about throttle control.

id like to thank aaron and the rest of the boys for running a very professional day. hope to be there next time.

cheers

hey Cody..

I wanted to spend some time with u in ur car.. but due to a cronic lack of sleep and a very hectic week, I wasn't feeling real flash. Hopefully I will get that chance soon yeh!

I have not checked to see if ur in yet.. but I hope u made it!

Chat to u later man

Zaffa, We run these about every 2 months during the cooler months. We also run SAU exclusive skid days.. There are plenty of threads with heaps of info and input from other guys.. check it out! All my threads are marked with a blue question mark. '?'

Cody.. you are in. U should have got conformation last night or today! I was changing some stuff and poor Grant didn't know what I was up too... my bad. Unfortunatly jake didn't make it.. but there is always next year. Like always.. book early!

Cheers

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
