Oh, and the nice lady at Auto-motion lurves all the SAU aliases - She told me it sounds like a "James Bond Movie".

So get those aliases onto booking sheets NOW people.

The offer only stays open for 7 more days - Then it is CLOSED ! Finito , Neyaa, Period,

Got your PM Akira - NP.

Ash - I'll check in again today with Auto-Motion. Aaron should be back from Indy now.

Folks, 3 days remaining (after today) on this offer.

Remember you only need minimum $225 down before the end of October - then $225 balance a month later on the first training day.

Those of you who posted "put me down for " but haven't filled in the booking form or paid the minimum deposit will not get a spot - So hurry now.

If you have any problems or questions - PM me or e-mail me at [email protected]. My mobile number is 0402 030 038 if urgent.

Cheers,

Folks - If you have been trying to call Auto-Motion and haven't been able to get through - This is because heaps of people have been ringing Aaron to find about about his fairly substantial crash and subsequent 200SX rebuild , at Indy on the weekend.

Luckily Aaron wasn't hurt - so the show goes on people.

I think there will be pics if the wreck and rebuild on the auto-motion web site soon. If anyone is interested, I have them on e-mail.

. . .

Last days Folks....

I take it those of you who expressed interest initially but haven't PMd me or booked aith auto-motion are out ?? If so this means more spots are available folks.

Cheers,

I've paid 2 deposits via telephone to Aaron Mcgill on Tuesday.

There should be confirmation from Auto -motion soon

I wouldnt trust this guy Brendan - he stole my bonnet idea while putting it on a better car :P

I'll see you again Akira in 2 weeks or so.

Hi Ash,

I rang them twice yesterday and e-mailed as well - I couldn't get through. I'll be rinning them every hour today until I get through.

Stay tuned buddy !

Cheers,

Brendan

I just now received a message back from Angella - She confirmed that she has 10 bookings. So that lines up with the 10 on my list.

I'll be getting an e-mail to confirm names over the weekend - but I'd say the 10 of us are all good !

Angella said that we could keep the offer open - I don't know how long for yet. SO if you want to come but havent booked - You may still have time to get on this baby !

Cheers guys - have a good weekend !

Brendan

  • 5 weeks later...

The first time I did a skid pan day I was freaked, completely changed the way I drive and the ideas I have about my car. THis is the idea of skid pan days, to teach you what your car is capable off.

if after 1 skid pan day he thinks he can drift a comodore then I suggest people pull over or move out of the way when they see a red comodore comming in their direction.

    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol. 
    • I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
    • I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
