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

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
