Hi Everyone

Just thought I'd let you know that we'll be running a skidpan day at Oran Park on Sunday 19th October.

We'll be running a morning session from 9.00 am until 12.00pm and an afternoon session from 12.30pm until 4.30pm.

The morning session will be limited to 6 drivers, and the afternoon session will be limited to 8 drivers, so you'll get plenty of driving time.

Cost per driver is $150

This course will be conducted by well known Sydney Advanced Driving Instructor, John Boston

The format we run to is pretty simple...

Brief classroom session

The rest of the time is spent driving practising skid control skills on the skidpan, we will also be running 'motorkhana' type exercises, most of you will be familiar with John, he runs a great program for us in Sydney.

One car on the skidpan at a time.

Note that we will be using water on the skidpan to minimise tyre wear.

If you'd like to come along please shoot us an email [email protected]

or give Tessa a call during office hours on 1300 652 693

Kind regards

Kev

pencil me in for the morning session.

will organise payment closer to event.

Thanks for your interest Nismo_God, but just letting you know that we dont pencil people in for any of our days, not saying you wont turn up but plenty of people have let us down in the past.

We dont hold spots for drivers who haven't paid a deposit.

Kind regards

Kev

Wooooooooooo!

Last one was heaps of fun, im in! In for morning session

Will send money and paperwork in the next few days

Happy Bday Kev!!! Ill shout you a drink at DECA :P

Cheers mate

Oh doh!! would love to do this but will be doing Super Sprint on Oran Park South instead :) Will definately come over this time and say Hi at lunch! :banana:

You better... :D

See you all when we get there.

Oh yeah.. Can you make sure there is no rain this time..

I've been waiting for one of these for ages! There's always been some reason why I couldn't make it but this time I finally can. Hopefully all the spots aren't taken already.

Please put me down as a definite. Morning session is preferred but will happily accept the afternoon session otherwise. I've just sent through an email too.

Thanks!

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
