Howdy everyone

I had my first day at a skidpan on sunday, up at gympie as apparently the folks out at mt cotton have over-senitive ears, I had a ball and learnt a thing or two about controlling skids.

It can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/3e4be9

I think the vids cool :cheers: have a look and let me know what you think. Bear in mind it was my first day at the skidpan and id never tried anything remotely like drifts before this.

Regards

Ian

nuts here, i was the one in the green ute on the weekend, i know i don't havea skyline but if you guys have anymore skidpans coming up, up in gympie, i'm keen as mustard.

cheers nuts

Hey man I lost your MSN, can you swing it over?

Was a good day, id love to do it again some time.

If you like the stid pan so much..

Why don't you PM RevHead about the skid days I run for SAU!

The minor technicality that im not a paid SAU member anymore...

I paid it for a year, didnt get anything really for my money and am a uni student these days so I cant throw cash around. Sorry.

didn't see the vid as it's 170MB!

good to see that you're getting some steering under your belt.

I paid it for a year, didnt get anything really for my money

care to elaborate? pm if necessary

are you saying the club offered nothing, or offered nothing to your liking?

from memory 3 skidpan days were run last year.

Well, check out what happens in the Qld events section.. there is always something happening.

and not just skid pans..

I'm running heaps of stuff this year. Most of which is booked out, but you can go on a list.

I had 5 cars pull out.. so 5 cars on the list went in. simple ehh.

I'm doin 2 SAU days.. this year

3 of my own local-ish cars days

1 bundy/marybgh day

and now another day for a begging club...

SAU does heaps of stuff. They travelled from brizvegas to do a skid day with me. and i always see cruises and drags and skid pans and drifts and dyno days and bla bla bla bla.. I'm sure u like to do somethin like that.

From what i have seen of the SAU crew.. they rock! get ya name down on a list or 3!

Yeah? Maybe things have changed since they went to the sauqld site, I never really bothered to sign up there. Not the best spot in the world to talk about this tho, it has a good chance of de-railing the thread.

Gympie is a long way out, I dont know if I can be doing regular trips plus $100 or more, maybe once every now and then however. I wish we had better motorsport facilities in brisbane.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
