Recommended Posts

payments closed

As a November event, We want to try and hold a skidpan day at Sutton Driver Training centre, on the 11th, 8am till 12:30pm. The skidpan is wetted down with sprinklers, so tyre wear is reduced. For more information about what to expect check out www.fifthgear.com.au . For this event to proceed we will need at least 10 participants ideally. If more people express an interest the day may be expanded to the afternoon. And the cost may be reduced. Maybe get a BBQ happening as well.

Have been to quite a few of these myself, they are great fun, but be warned your car gets quite dirty from the water on the skidpan.

Will probably at this stage open payments on the first of october and close it around the 11th, to ensure numbers. Will be having one session at this stage, if numbers allow, may extend the session to six hours.

Also by the way who would be interested in doing some timed course stuff on the skidpan like what we did in Texikhana? I had a ball doing that stuff as well. Just an idea

The small wet skidpan at sutton is what will be used. Just a quick note, the format normally consists of 3 or 4 runs on the skidpan of 15 minutes each, 2 cars on the skidpan at a time.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
