*Sigh*

Gearbox oil change cost me $330 :P Definitely won't be able to afford this :)

I shouldn't do it anyway, last one must have chewed my tyres. Put brand new tyres on the rear about 6000kms ago and mechanic has informed me i will need new ones in about 5000kms :D Can only put it down to the skidpan as i drive my car like its an excel, never done a skid or anything...

I would love to come...But something about driving an AWD Non-turbo makes me think i = fail

Got something against non-turbo's? :)

Lol just go along mate, i own an NA Skyline and had the time of my life, was great fun. Nobody judges you for your car :laugh:

Because these are Motorkhana courses, you really don't need a powerful car to have fun, and it's about learning to handle and control your car, so it's definately worthwhile.

Mate we have had all sorts of cars on these track days from very high hp Skylines, V8 Commodore right down to n/a Fwd cars (Excel, Pulsar) so unfortunately we dont accept your response as an excuse :D

So sign up and learn something about your car :D

I participated in a double skin pan event organised earlier this year. The technical aspects are the same as the single skid pan but there is the added fun of higher terminal speeds. So for the guys with bigger turbos this event will provide an opportunity to stretch their legs.

In short, I hate you guys for going there without me...that is all :P

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

I have photographic evidence of a particular excursion :P

Wish I could attend this but it's a bad time of year financially :D

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
