Skid Day Dates For 2008! Starting The 15th March 08


Recommended Posts

Ok, I have finanlly sorted out all the skid dates for next year!

15 March - Gympie Crew This Date is booked out!

10 May - SAU

14 June - Bundy Crew This is almost booked out!

12 July - Gympie Crew This Date is booked out!

13 Sept - SAU

11 Oct - Gympie Crew This Date is booked out!

Everybody is welcome to attend the Gympie Crew's skid days. Contact [email protected] for bookings.

The SAU days will be organised by RevHead (or the new President) and as usual you will need to be a paid SAU member.

Contact RevHead for details and bookings. He has let the odd non-member in!

The Bundy Crew skid days are being organised by my mate Lars.(Nissan-R33) There will be cars from Bundy, Hearvey Bay and Maryborough.

There will be a price rise due to a rise in the hire of the skid pan complex. This can not be avoided. I expect the price to rise to about $120 per car.

As normal for my skid days, your entry fee entitles you and one freind to free tuition, BBQ lunch and free soft drinks all day!

The skid day is 8am-4pm. lunch is eaten on the run between goes. Tuition is built into the day as part of the day. Our tuitor is a qualified driving instructor. One on one tuition is available to anybody who asks at no extra cost, in or out of your car!

Feel free to ask any questions. Feel free to ask other guys who have been skidding for their opinion..!

I have marked all my previous skid day posts with the blue question mark. I did this so it is easy to track.. check them out!

Any other Q's?

These are all the skid days that I am running next year. I would really like to do more, but I have some time issues..

Yea I thought i would give the bundy boys some play time! LOL..

I'll have a bit more of a talk with Lars when he rocks up to the Oct 13 skid day.. There is a bit of interest from a few Maryborough cars as well. It should be a great day.

As always, looking forward to seeing the SAU crew and have some laughs. Maybe it'll rain again! I really enjoyed the whole skid season.. except the last one where i was dog tired! but I'll blame Ska for that one!

I know it seems obvious, but i prefer import cars! At least bring a car with some real HP!

I do have a few regulars cars that are powered by bent eights who skid very well.

So if you cant bring your toy, take your mates! But leave your sisters lancer at home..

It has been seen a number of times where large horsepowered cars don't skid quite as well as some lower figure cars. So don't think that u need 450hp to play. A standard skyline is a great start.. anything more than that is just more fun.

Being wet concrete, it doesn't seem to matter if you have 120 or 420 hp, all the skills are the same.

Tyre wear is minimal, and I don't even bother swapping my street rubber.

Oct 13 is the last skid day for this year, and it is goin to seem like FOREVER before next years skid season starts.. but we will all just have to wait it out in the pool!

  • 3 weeks later...

This is a great event i have learnt heaps from mark the instructor to the point when i ask him too show my mates some things he tells me i know enought to help them which is kinda cool.

Ohh anyone up bundy way PM me and i will put you on my list for the round next year.

ha ha ha.. the good old list!

we have already started on next years list for the Gympie crew!

I will chat with u later Lars about some of the Maryborough and Harvey bay cars...

ohh, if your from that area, PM Lars. I imagine that the spots will fill very early.

i have already got 7 definates for next year! After tomoz's skid session, i spose there wont be many left..!

Ok guys. the first date for next years skid season is already full with 2 spare cars.

I have also got 8 cars booked into the other 2 days. that only leaves 6 spots!

most of next years skid season is already booked up..

The bundy boys think that they are goin to easily fill up their day. I beleive they already have 10 cars!

So, if your reading this and want in, i recommend you do something right now.

Ohh today was the best skid day I have run to date.

Great people, some new cars, some oldies, some girls who skidded very well.. what a total blast!

Lars in his R33 won the season trophy against Leigh in the Supra by only 1.6 seconds..

Cody won the shoot out, he was very tidy and performed well.

Eddy in his new GT skyline won the time trial. by a massive margin! he learnt very quickly and drove very smoothly.. excellent for a new skidder!

ya little bugger.. i just couldn't quite get the power down fast enough. but it was a good win man.

See you next year.. yea?

Slap some of those bundy boys in the head and tell them to go skidding or else! LOL.

That was seriously an awesome day. everybody drove well. didn't run outta food or drinks..

man i would just love to do another day like that next weekend! My wife would strip my car and sell it on ebay..

but i think it would be worth it. lol

Im keen!!

Thanks again for an awesome day guys!! Congrats again to Lars and Kody! aweseome driving...

That was easily the best day ive ever had on any skid pan anywhere ever!!! I learnt so much, and took so much away from it.. Ive seen the throttle steering light!!!

Guys if you really want to have fun and take your driving skills to a new level, with free tuition and also car setup advice i cannot recommend this enough!

Cheers

John

P.s. Krystles car got towed while we were up there... hehe, you can try teach a women to drive, but you'll never teach one to park >_< (only joking.. waits for the flaming)

farken rofl @ mish'stle.

i'm in for the 15th march 2008

I'm in for all 6 skid days.. nar nar nar-nar na!

John, u did see the light. It was good to see you FINALLY get what i've been telling you!

precision foot control saves you heaps of hard work and makes u look megga cool!

John I'm gonna PM u about your car setup! By this time next year you should be driving 250% better than on sat!

We will be dropping car numbers back to only 14cars like last year.

So, spots are goin to become even more scarse, maybe i should auction them off on ebay! ha ha ha...

If anybody wants in, NOW is the time to jump. i thought i had 8 cars booked in for the rest of the year.. but with John in, hmm that only leaves 4 spots on the remaining 2 skid days!

Sorry Eug, but that day totally booked out on the weekend!

The only way to secure a spot is to pay, only then it is guareented.

Nobody who has paid has been turned away, EVER.

So, pay for a date and know that ur in. If for some odd reason you can't make it, give me some notice a I should be able to get somebody to buy your spot, or you can opt to sell it to one of your mates.

By doing this, its stops guys backing out in the last minute and leaving me with a huge bill!

But you are more than welcome to come to any skid day i run.. even if you only want to support a mate!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
