Hi all,

While the rest of the Exec team is organising the Show and Shine, I've put together the next skidpan day - lets get back to the skidpan/runway in 2010!!!

Event: Texikhana, Skids on Sundays

Location: Nirimba Airfield/Tafe/Skidpan/same place as last time (yeah its got a few names)

Date: Sunday 31st Jan 2010

What is it: Skidpan + Go-to-whoa

Lunch: Free to entrants (BBQ and cans of soft drink)

Spectators: Free to watch, BBQ will be $4 snag sandwich and $2 cans

Passengers: Free, MUST sign on, wear wrist to neck/ankle clothing with enclosed shoes and approved helmet

Courses: Released on the day at sign on (the super tight one from last gone wont be returning, ever)

Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 5pm, and considering most runs are under 1 minute AND that we're kicking off at 9am, thats a lot of runs :)

This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there's no pressure, one car on a course at a time. Perfect for beginners to have a first try at driving their pride and joy off the streets.

With that said, there's usually some friendly competition towards the pointy end of the field from the ACT guys which is great to watch ;)

Timing for the day;

Scruitineering/sign on starts 7am

Scruitineering/sign on ends 830am (dont show up at 825am, come with plenty of time to spare)

Drivers brief 840am (mandatory attendance all drivers)

Runs start 9am

Lunch approx 1230pm depending on how the day is going

Runs stop 5pm

Gates close 530pm

Entrants please note:

-All cars must pass scruitineering, no exceptions.

-All drivers must be licensed (AASA or CAMS) and show licence at sign on.

-All cars must have an insurance approved fire extinguisher secured within drivers reach.

-Sidepipes are not allowed. Screamers are also not allowed. No exceptions (this is not my choice, I ♥ gate)

-Entries are open now, entries close 9am 27th Jan 2010.

And paid for show and shine at the same time.

Please let uncy duncs know my money for SNS is in. Description "MBS206 Texi + SNS"

Form to come

Edit: And no fire extinguisher needed this time?

Well im going to pull my finger out now and im going to enter my car in..

I have the next two weeks off.. so it looks like ill be working on the car to get it ready... (i know its still a long way off..lol)

So count me in... going to join saunsw this week.. will organise payment early in the week!

SWEEEEEEEET!!

Ill pay and all that junk early next week. Car wont have epic tilt with new suspension..

On a side note I stripped the thread of a wheel nut today and need to get a new one.. any idea where? nothin fancy just regular wheel nut.

Hmm, trying to decide if I can do Video and participate... will be in one way or another.

Go to a tyre shop sometimes they'll sell you just one. Otherwise auto parts store but I'm pretty sure the only sell in sets of 4/5.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
