Spare Spot For Gympie Crew Skid Day 12 July


Recommended Posts

Hell Fire, PM sent, I'm counting you as in!

Kind words Geoff! thanks mate. As for the car wash, its true to the best of my knowledge. Mark the instructors daughter is one of the kids goin! Its a great thing to go to somebodies home and help them out. The least i can do is support their personal convictions and let them help where they can! (I'm not always mean!) lol

There is 2 weddings on my skid day! Lost half my regular skidders. man i hope it rains like cats and dogs! Aaaaaarrggggghh hahaha ha haha...!

Skids in the wet are good, but you already supply that mate.

Anyone reading this, get your butts out there and enjoy your cars instead of cruising looking for someone to drag. Street racing is for tools.

well, there are cars with 4 wheels and engines which turn tyres! lol

Too be honest, the list has changed so much in the last 72 hours, I dont actually know for sure.. But it appears (unless I screwed up!) all the spots are taken and it is generally an import car day..?

Not much help, so just wait at the gate and see what rolls up i guess!

are they two stroke or four?

yeh i kinda figured that you had to fill so many spots and trying to rush everyone.. im looking foward to this weekend! curious tho i realise you wet the track but what happens if its raining this weekend?

The skidpan is even better! You constantly slide...altho the pan does get abit dirty :down:

Should be a good day by the looks of it, going up to watch! :P

Well, if it does rain.. GOOD! The skid pan becomes like glass and is megga slippery, even better if it rains after we have been there for a while and got into the groove a bit..

As for getting dirty, umm, no. Its a lot cleaner after and during the rain. Cos most of the time the water is from the creek, only in droughts is town water used. Keeps the costs down, and the greenies are a little happier...

If it rains, and you dont come.. well.. more skid time for me!

There is grass and dirt off the sides of the skid pan.. but that is not the primary cause of the dirt.

Like I said, its because of the creek water. Go have a look inside the tank! I have aslo been to the skid pan a few times myself..

Even after a small flood, the skid pan isn't overly dirty! If you are keen to get rid of the dirt, I'm sure 'RoadCraft' will be happy to let you solve the problem and add more concrete around the outside.. Then we all get to play on a bigger area!

Anyway, I dont care about the dirt very much, thats why I invite the youth group kids to do the car wash!

What a great day out! I had a slipping clutch (different story!), some others suffered some serious slipping wheels and others just slipped down the leader board!

Perhaps your reading is not so good, squire.

So, I will spell it out for you...

My name starts with a capital, thats a bigger letter.

So it looks like this-

Aaron

Understand? Yea?

As for your statement, YES. Was a great day, once you gagged your 180.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
