Well, we came back for another go at the skid pan after our introduction in October and I can tell you that we're definitely hooked!

Thanks again has to go to Aaron and everyone else that make the days so enjoyable. We learnt so much and had so much fun. The missus said that the 180's and 360's were the best!

I recommend that anyone who thinks they're a good driver to prove it by giving one of these days a go :thumbsup:

Anyway, I thought I'd upload some photos I took. There's heaps more so PM me if you want any more photos of your car.

Thanks,

Brett

Daz mate.. This is the first skid pan day I've run this year!

What a quality day! Great foto's Brett. C u next time mate. I dunno about you guys, but when I got home, I was totally stuffed :( .

As u can see, there was a mix of cars.. a mix of ages and a mix of the sexes. I didn't drive as good as I could of, but with a wrapped ankle that was still swollen, I did ok! Sorry for being a bit short in the morning, the pain killers were just kicking in!

The old Val ute re-broke a control arm and the 180 would have been treated better if somebody had stolen it from the owner and his freind! I hate seeing that kind a abuse... but it was his choice to continue with the mindless thrashing. They where asked to be kinder to the poor little thing.

Anyhow, when I track down the paperwrok from Grant, I will post up the results in the Qld events section.

So everybody that wasn't at the skid day understands..

the 360's we are talking about was a fully controlled 'loose' and catch exercise which consisted of a very cool 360 spin in the middle of the pan while traveling at around 60km/h across the skid pan. We all still remained on the skid pan, and nobody had an off track adventure!

Can u do rapid shots with that camera Brett? that would be great if you could get a few shots in a row to show how it works. Send me a PM will you!

New Thread started in the Qld events section for points and stuff..

"Burst mode" is what your looking for...

Most cameras have burst, however its useless on compact DSC's as compacts are too slow...

Entry level DSLR's can do 3.5 fps+ (frames per second) and thats what you need to show movement easily, 6fps+ is essential for high speed motorsport like drag, drift and circuit racing...

Another fun shot to take at skid pan is a "pan" or "panning" shot;

(These were done with a standard non image stabilised lens, so they are not the cleanest examples)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
