Ive always used semi's on the dry skid pans for timed events, works well and have placed pretty well in scoring in them.

The trick is, smoother is better, hand brake turns would be the only time they get worn (besides the start on take off, and any lock up) If you time the hand break turn right, you'll have minimal wear anyway :(

So in other words....Don't be a girl :P :P :(

DM - haha nice one!! Your just lucky my 33 isnt going to be there for your competition :(

LOL, Ok then - I'll use my semi's, you use yours and we'll see who ends up being quicker than who :(

Quick question... Is anyone going on the dry skidpan with semi slicks on?

I know that there are a lot of handbrake turns needed but the problem will be that I have a nice new set of semi slicks that I have just finished bedding in and I dont really want to shred them in one day. :D

My semis are already bolted on and I will be driving to Canberra on them. Can’t be bothered tracking two sets of tyres. If I smoke them on then skid pan so be it. I know smooth is faster but smoke and sideways is more fun. I will drive properly on the track (I promise). Mine are only Azenis so they are not real semis anyway.

Go dirty sartywan's!!!!

i'll be there in tha sillo, with slidie tyrez on ze rearz

GOING FOR SLOWEST YET MOST ENTERTAINING ON SKID PAN!!!

*still be quicker then Bullet32*

proper semis will be rubbish without a warm up.

if you have something like a 595rs or rt215/615 thats been scrubbed in it's the tyre to have in this sort of event. Something that has highish grip but doesn't need a lot of heat to get going. I've found my RS's to be pretty damn good on a skid pan

I would have loved to have been involved in this but i have work tomorrow and the car's still off the road. Hopefully next time. I so want to drive that back bit of track :D.

Im not racing at all :(

remember last years one?

I did 1.40 and came 5th :)

well last time i came 14th with a 31 with stock motor and suspension and locked diff.

only the diff is the same, so bring it on!! hahaha

you might be the slowest, but i you've got some competition for most entertaining. mmmm sidepipe FTW!!!

After I set a good skid pan time, I'll be giving it a good old go for entertainment too. ACT FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
