Stuffs that need to be prepared.... plus suggestions...

1. Pump up tyres to a minimum of 40PSI

2. Remove/secure any loose items from the cabin

3. Loose, comfy clothing (It'll be hard to drive in leather jackets)

4. Light jacket if windy/umbrella if rainy but please secure it in the boot

5. Light snacks/water/soft drink (session is 4-hour long)

6. If possible wash & wax your car the day before so any dirt/grease don't stick to your paintwork

7. Generally check your car from now, e.g. check if low on oil, coolant, etc. Therefore you got the whole next week to get your car serviced if required. The last thing we want is your car to break down on the day.

I'll organise a digi-cam to take happy snapshots of everyone skidding around, you can bring yours but not compulsory. I'll distribute the photos after the session to all participants listed.

Other than that, see you next week Sunday!

Cheers,

Rianto

yeah, rain would have made us slide even more!!!

It's a bit pity the sun angle wasn't quite right for the photos, maybe they should have build an extra viewing point on the otherside of the pan so we'll have the sun behind us.

heheh, true Paul. at least ur car is black. Mine doesn't show up badly but if I really look, I can spot those grease spots. It's all over.... blaackkk!!!! eeewwwww......

Now I can see why Nick still have some on his car after he washed it like 6 times!! Maybe I should go to a hand carwash and piss those guys off trying to wash it off my car LOL

nah Rianto, when its rwd the torque gauge didn't move and when its 4wd it only moves when i oversteer, which wasn't very often.

Kevin reckoned that the tyres on the back had far more grip than the front ones, so while the fronts were understeering the rear falkens wern't keen on letting go-thus preventing the elusive oversteer :D

Probably suspension tuning would also do great thing for the drift.... Kevin's S2 looks so nice drifting, and I think Nick's 180 will even be more awesome with some drift suspension in it...

I'd surely will consider getting my stock shocks replaced...

Thanks to Rianto for organising a top group to come out to the Skid Pan. Once again Skylines Australia was an excellent group. I am sure everyone loved watching Kevin in their cars, as everyone does.

Anyway I told over 250 photos and have posted a Gallery here:

http://www.rwdturbo.com/incoming.html?loca...bo/gallery.html

As usual I have resized all the pics to 800 x 600. The originals are uncompressed 6 mega pixel photos, that print out as massive posters. If anyone wants the orginal photos email me at [email protected]. However note the I charge $5 per pic, or 3 for $10. But once you get them printed you'll believe me that its worth it.

Also for anyone who is interested Driver Dynamics have a few spots left for a Defensive Driver Training course next Sunday the 28th of September. This day will be the last chance for everyone to take advantage of our September special of $150, or in the event that we get 10 people there, we will discount it further to $125. Email me at [email protected] or check out our website www.driverdynamics.com for more details

Once again thanks for coming out to the Skid Pan today

Cheers

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
