Skidpan Day At Sutton Driver Training Centre 11th November


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.

Price: 99$

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.

    • when you say spring pressure.. I would have thought the ideal control mode for these would be a very light spring and a 4 port solenoid feeding both sides of the actuator. enough to close it when no boost is present and thats about it. You don't have exhaust manifold pressure as part of the mechanical feedback loop like a regular poppet valve does. however, the control strategy for a butterfly valve is a bit more complex than just holding a PWM value. or a % position for the e-gate. a poppet valve self regulates due to exhaust manifold pressure on the valve face, these balanced butterfly valves do not, so feeding boost to an actuator is only half of the normal wastegate control equation.  you really need an exhaust manifold pressure correction on the output (either measured or simulated) to have it stable.   but still, that is a lot of creep. whats the runner off the manifold look like?
    • I'd be using your approach if I had the light. Some measuring, get some vernier calipers, measure, draw, make another one as a slightly smaller hole and start cutting.
    • Hi guys really sorry if its a silly question, but im trying to figure out if a r33 gtr front reinforcement bar will fit on a r33 gtst series 1. Need it for road worthy but also wanted to get the gtr one as I wont need to cut the reo when I upgrade my fmic apparently? TIA!!
    • For a more simple method you could look into Dakota Digital and see if their cruise control retrofit kit would work on the stag.
    • In which case I still think my approach would be just as easy. In fact, easier, because of all that guidance on the front side.
