I think we really need a skid pan here!

We could have so many events there, eg. motokhana's, drift, go to whoa, burnout's, whatever! Even just "open" nights during the week to get it out of your system, and it would also be a good place to catch up and have a chat with free entertainment.

It would save all the "hoons" doing it on the street. Especially if it was low cost.

And it would be awsome if it was central, not miles away. You wouldn't need alot of land.

Does anyone know who you would have to speak to to get the ball rolling???

What's everyones view on this?

Problem is the government in this state is run by an ex cop (rann) and all he see's places like this drag strips etc etc as is encouregment for "hoon" drivers so doubtful you'll get any government support for anything like this....

All great ideas in theory though, pity they can't see the response they get in otherstates for places like this though, all they wanna do is bring in new laws all the time instead of trying to fix the issues....cheaper that way

Any more info on this driver training at west lakes? Looking for something like this (skid pan/defensive driver training course/etc).

At the Learner Driving course place in Palkholme there is a skid pan but looks as if it hasn't been used for years, its blocked off by those huge rocks and has plenty of weeds growing.

I feel strongly about this so I'm happy to work at it, but I just wouldn't know where to start, who to talk to, etc. Anyone tried to do anything like this before? Who do I have to "convince" to make this happen?

It's a pity the government doesn't comprimise/talk with car enthusiasts to try and resolve/minimise hoon behaviour.

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
