Some old skid clips..

Answers to some FAQ's and some advise...

1:Remove ALL crap from your car that is not actually BOLTED to your car.. paper, sub boxes, junk, tool boxes, lose crap. They fly round and wreck stuff!

2: Check your tyre pressures. I recommend you pump the REAR tyre pressure to the MAX as indicated on the sidewall of that tyre. DONT use SPINNERS! Spinners unbalance the car...

3: You will need at least half a tank of fuel to go skidding for the day, depending on how thursty your car is and how heavy your foot is!

4: If your driving more than an hour to get to the skid pan, plan a rest somewhere on the way home, It may save your life.. its a long day!

5: Check ALL fluids, dont overfill ANYTHING.

6: Dont come skidding if your car has a mechincal issue, you may break it.. ..and that sux!

7: If you want to get better at skidding, LISTEN to the instructor, he knows a few things..!

8: If your a newbie.. thats cool. Dont worry if you dont get it all together the first skid day.. it takes time and practice! Just ask for help, and we will do what we can!

9: You dont need a helmet, special licence or special tyres. Just bring your normal car as you normally drive it..

10: If you want to go skidding on another day, please email me and I'll see what I can do for you.

IF you require more info, feel free to email/pm me.

RULES

01: NEVER skid past or near a car or person! Dont skid when people are picking up cones. This is VERY bad, you will be sent home.

02: Do not spin tyres ANYwhere but on the skid pan.

03: Drive off the skid pan slowly.

04: Cool down laps on the black stuff are fine, consider other drivers, no overtaking, 40KM/h speed limit.

05: This is NOT drifting. Drifting involves tyre smoke and close car proximity. We dont do either.

06: All vehicles MUST have a full exhaust.. including mufflers. Sound limits do apply.

07: Pick up your own cones in your skid go, not after your go.

08: Seatbelts must always be worn, keep all of your body INSIDE the vehicle.

09: Only the nominated driver (who signs the indemnity form is permitted to drive.

10: Refrain from smoking near the shed and other cars.

11: No alcohol, drugs or HANGOVERS are permitted!

12: Your friends are your responsibility, They get asked to leave, so do you!

13: Dont break my rules, play nice or else you and your mates WILL be evicted.

14: OPEN license required. If asked, you must produce it on the day.

Use your common sence, and everybody will have a great day!

Got videos or photos from this recent day? Would be keen as to come out for the next one of these would be awesome

yea x2

and when's the next time this is on?

oohhh and why is it $160 just to skid around on a wet skidpad??

if any info would be good thanx..

PM's sent.

Basicly, low car numbers = large amount of track time = higher cost but heaps more fun!

I've got a disc here, but having trouble loading it.. might see if I can get it onto youtube and add another link!

cheers

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
