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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).

      street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
