Hi fellas...

It's time for the first skidpan training day in 2004!!!!!

We've had lots and lots of fun last year, as you can check out these galleries:

SAU Skidpan 20 Sep 2003

SAU Skipdan 15 Nov 2003

SAU Skidpan 16 Nov 2003

SAU Skidpan 20 Dec 2003 (a few pics from Chris only)

What I may suggest for the next one that we have an option of a BBQ at lunchtime.. (woo hoo!) It works this way: we'll need a group who do a morning session (5-6 people), the afternoon group comes in around 11am and set up bbq and start cooking. At 12 or 12.30 to 1pm we'll have a small BBQ together (let the morning guys eat first). Then the afternoon group take their turn doing the training while the morning guys cook some more food for the afternoon group and help packing/cleaning up....

Considering this I'm thinking around 20 (Sat) or 21 (Sun) February to "recruit" enough participants for the training day... Cost is $120 which you spend your day with a qualified instructor from Driver Dynamics. Hardly any tyre wear, you won't smash your car against anything, and less chance of breaking anything in your beloved ride.

Please register your interest here, and these are welcomed for all returning or new comers to the training program.... places are filling up fast.....

Here is the list so far:

1. Rianto "rs73" (R33)

2. Simon "meshmesh" (R33 GT-R)

3. Simon's bro (Benz E55)

4. Thanh (RX7)

5. Deric (Supra)

6. Rachel (Supra)

7. Steve "Cooks44" (R33)

8. Thai Cao (AE86)

9. Chris "Scotsman" (R33 GT-R)

10. Terry "krptr" (R33)

11. Denham "INASNT" (R33)

12. Nick "HKSgtst" (R33)

13. Alan "halz" (R33)

14. Kevin "king_kw13" (R33)

15. Corey "resonance" (180SX)

16. Geoff "skylinegeoff" (R33)

17. Andrew "Snowman" (R34 GT-R)

18. Denham (2) (WRX)

Cheers!

Let's start a list then...

1. Rianto

2. Ex-static

I'm interested, so put me down. But one question & excuse my ignorance, but is this more of a thrash session {alla' MINES_DATSUN} or do we actually learn how to control, drive the cars? I take it we can bring anycar? I was thinking the GTR or the E55 or both :D?

Honestly I have no idea of the trash session u mention. However, you'll learn lots about car control and sideway drifting in this course. You can bring any car, a RWD E55 would be easier to drift than an AWD GT-R of course, and much more fun. But you can bring ur GT-R before as we had one previously. Takes different approach to drift a AWD.

Yeah man Whens the next one after this? I'm so strapped for cash at the moment because of drifting lol. So i wanna do it in a controlled environment. Also it is technically owned by my parents business and is registered under my mums name do i need to bring a Statutory declaration, and do we need helmets?

thanks,

Rom

Rom,

No helmets required. In regards to joint ownership on the car, I have seen cases where people who use company cars normally would be required to sign a statutory declaration stating that the company allows him/her to use the car in such car course. So I'd suppose you'll need to bring a letter of approval from the registered owner, giving you permission to let you use the car.

It's definitely in a controlled environment, all user level welcome (beginner to advance) as the instructor will sit beside you and giving you instruction according to your level and speed of progress. All cars welcome (RWD/FWD/AWD, Skylines/Silvia/WRX/Gemini/BMW/Merc/Supra/Porsche/Lotus etc.)

The only restriction is we can't have extremely loud car on the venue which is 150m away from residential. So no open exhaust or straight pipes, anyone with such exhaust should do something about it before joining (even just attaching a tip silencer for 4 hours of this session should help).

Pending on my car's availability (will be spending a fair bit of time going back and forth between workshops) I'd like to try out some new skills I've aquired after watching and practicing the Drift Bible DVD.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
