Woohoo! Skidpan / LVMA Full day.


Recommended Posts

:headspin:

Time : Late april, or may. Sunday.

Cost : TBA, under $200 (probably $170)

Venue : Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Availability : 16 spots.

Requirements : Current Open or Provisional licence, rego'ed and roadworthy car - no rusty shitboxes or super dodgy stuff.

What you get : Professional instructors helping you go fast and do big dirty slides. They are all hoons/racers. Safe legal environment in which you can go completely nuts. You WILL be a better driver after one of these days. Some of us have done 5 already. Buffet lunch.

Event.....

There are 3 sessions on the day.

1. Half day skidpan. Most people know the drill now, small track with water and diesel on it. Nothing to hit really, unless you close your eyes and drive into the other person on the track. Bugger all tyre wear. Develops slide control, being smooth, confidence and its just heaps of fun. Time trials at the end as well :(

2. Lunch. Good food, all paying participants get to sit down and have a feed of salads sandwiches meaty goods etc. It was a lot better than i thought it would be actually. (done it before)

3. LVMA (Large Vehicle Manouvering Area) Big flat square shaped area with slalom, brake test, and a track set out on it with cones. Wet and dry brake testing (teaches you how to pull up as quick as possible instead of just locking up and running into things). Slalom, with a bit of a difference as well. Cone track - the chance to go all out against the clock, and because its set out with cones, you can really go all out :)

For a bit of fun we are probably going to keep records of all times, skidpan, slalom, and lvma track, and have trophies for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Nothing serious, just for fun. Sponsor should be providing them so why not.

I need solid interest here guys.

so far.....

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
