I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31 :)

AHAHAH i really was having a shocker out there on the semis... but i was having fun most importantly... and yes the improvised reversing through the last few gates was a spur of the moment thing for a laugh!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Great day and cant wait for the next one!

P.s. Waiting to see these times.... :sorcerer:

Big thanks to Adam, Corinne, Steve, Nick, Duncan, Kel, Nigel, Neil, Steve (doof), Shell, Georgie, Sh@un Ando and Chris and all the other volunteers who I have forgotton!

Thanks for all the help on the day, without you guys it would havent run as well!

Theres alot of room for improvement with running the day and this was a trial and error run, so we were pretty impressed, cant wait to use the big pan in the dry - the wet skidpan sucked on semi's.

I really enjoyed the back track

my 4 runs

1.49

1.43

1.42

1.40.??

anyone can steer an AWD car on a wet pan but the back track is where its at! :)

Big thanks again to everyone who supported and entered.

:action-smiley-069:

Haha Yup I drove to work through the city this morning with love hearts on my damm window no wonder I was getting weird looks. I totally forgot about them :)

I hope no one washed them off either otherwise I will be very angry and come stalk you and cover your windows in them. >.<

Well - what a great day!

My first time on a wet skid pan and I think I can safely claim the 'queen of understeer' title!!! :action-smiley-069:

Had lots of fun - huge thanks to the organisers and volunteers, awesome job guys! :)

Was great to meet some of the ACT guys too - you guys rock! :D Look forward to seeing you at future events!

Bring on the next Texi!!! w00t!

EDIT: shirts were awesome too! totally stoked to get one that actually FITS lil ol me!!! lol!

Big thanks to all the people who helped organise the day both beforehand and during. Big thanks also to those kind people who came along to help out doing things in such ways as bbqing and especially the people out on the back track. That's a big effort and well appreciated. You guys will have priority entry to the next event.

Thanks LOTS to everyonr involved in making Sunday happen, had a GREAT day.

The back track was AWESOME, it reminds me of some of the "mountain" runs around the out skirts of the ACT... I managed a 1:43.8 in my R32 GTsT on street tyres which puts me up with most of the people using semi-slicks, so Im stoked. :yucky:

The skid pan wasnt really a rush though cos Ive been on it about two dozen times before, but it was still good to watch others and have a laugh :) even though I didnt do very well myself.

Im glad that it was held out at Sutton, its only a 15 minute drive for me and I still had time to wash my car afterwards, sometimes its good to be a Canberran :(

Thanks again to all involved in organising the event and all who came along.

P.S. Im only fast on street tyres cos they're Federal's...... Buy Federal :)

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
