Hi Guys

We have a few vacancies for our next skidpan training day on Saturday 17th April.

Our skidpan training courses are conducted at the Attwood training complex near Melbourne Airport. The skidpan is wet and super slippery, to keep wear and tear to a minimum and to facilitate low speed skids.

(This is not the course for you if you are a full-on hektik drift god)

Its a great opportunity to explore your cars limits in a safe and controlled environment. We have an experienced instructor working with you on these courses.

Each session runs for 4 hours with 6 drivers per session.

We run a morning and afternoon session.

Cost per driver is $140

Please contact Tessa to book your position 1300 652 693 or email her [email protected]

You can learn more about our skidpan courses here.. http://driverdynamics.com/skidpan.html

Kind regards

Im in for arvo session too Kez, I got the last spot.

so excited, first skid pan ever, i'm gonna be so nervous, but really want to learn how my car handles in the wet with hicas and the 4wd system.

You'll have to ring them to find out.

I booked about a week ago. Afternoon session was full but some spots were available for the morning. $50 deposit with the rest payable on the day.

I've actually done it before and its a crap load of fun. Couldnt help myself but to register again. You learn a fair bit. They have water constantly flowing at a few points around the skidpan, along with some really slippery stuff (not sure if its oil/soap/whatever) at two opposite ends.

Should I leave the Kumho KU36s on for this, or resort to the unknown brand of tyres that came with my stockies?

I doubt there will be much wear on the tyres, considering it so wet, but would the semi-slick pattern affect the grip on my front tyres?

ive got Mitchelen pilots on, they are on the wear line on the inside of the wheel because of camber and about 2mm off the wear line on the outside.. im assuming that should be enough tread then....

because im getting new tyres a couple days after this....

Not sure if this is a stupid question, but is this a worthwhile session for a GTR with the attessa system?

I haven't had the car long, so I guess I just answered my own question in terms of gaining a better understanding of the car with the awd system, but other opinions would be appreciated (don't want to deter the topic too much but just one or two opinions will be fine).

If worthwhile, I am definately there (dependant on availability of spots of course).

I'd try it. Sure you might not drift amazingly, but you'll get a good grasp of how your car reacts when cornering and when you lose control.

Besides, isn't there something you can disconnect in the drivetrain that makes your GTR RWD only?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
