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

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

you need to loose that 4WD, Phil..... :-)

When you turned off that switch, did the front torque gauge move at all?

I never actually knew urs is a GTS4!!! I was a bit surprised actually....

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

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
