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

hey guys,

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.

also thanks to all the guys who came, had a really good day, was good to meet you all.

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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
