Well I'm going to tread hijack a little here cause I can't be bothered making a new topic.

The Skidpan day was a damn good giggle today. Thanks to Dereck and all the lads that came out for a spin. For those of you who were their (you know who you are) send me a PM and I'll link you to some of the photos I took. Don't really want to publicly post them without your permission.

See everyone at the next day, and remember . . . keep your chin up!

Can't be bothered making a new topic again.

Are any of the usual suspects heading out to the pan tomorrow, 31st January?

Just wondering if you are, and you're one of the lads with a "ECUTalk Consult," if you'd be willing to bring it along and let me try it on my r33. If you're not coming out or you can't be bothered removing it from your car it's no big deal, but if you're there and it's convenient and your willing to I'd like to give it a try.

Cheers,

Rob.

i'm interested in getting my car out on te skid pan and playing around with it..

how do i go about it?

i hear you guys always talking about, i would love to get my car out there.

thanks

just come out tomorrow and talk to Derek, he will let you know when the next one is on and ask him to reserve you a spot..

if you cant talk to him then see if you can get intouch with ZCR, TURISMO or Mccready as they are regulars out on the skidpan and i believe that 1 if not all of them will be there tomorrow

Thanks TURISMO, but don't go out of your way. If it was gonna be nice and handy I would like to test it out for 5 min or so. I've already spoken with the guys who make them and have been placed on the mailing list for the next batch, but would have liked to try one before hand. If you're gonna be in the area it would be sweet, but like I said, don't go out of your way for it.

Appreciate the offer though.

drool, is that black 4 door the autech replica? dang it two other 4 door skylines there, anyone going to the skidpan day on the 15th? Does derek have to do DB readings on cars now? damn.

yea it seems if your car looks loud he'll do the DB check. as long as its not stupidly loud he doesnt mind. had it done to my friend's car at the one i organised a few weeks ago lol

i might go to the one on the 15th, money pending and whether my suspension will be in by then

great pics anthony! sorry the SAU sticker is soo dirty!

what time did you get to the skid pan shell? we were in the morning session. i won't be out there on the 15th, i'll be there on the 22nd at a private booking instead

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
