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.

    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
    • No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.
    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol
