I was timing Morning Course 2 and I'm pretty sure you were 33.5 (Mell's car was 33 and you were driving it, hence the .5) I don't remember what the time was but it was up there.. I would have to have a look at the original time sheet (or a copy). From memory Reece was first in the Skyline, second in the Clio, Mitch was third in the Skyline then you were fourth, then Reece in the Clio in reverse was fifth (although it looks as though the times for the Clio in reverse were not included in the above results).. but that is just from memory, it may be slightly bais.

EDIT: I just had another look over the times and I would say that you have been put down as '34'. I remember that you started off slow and have a few tries before you got your good time. It would also mean you had the fourth fastest time which is what I said above :D

Ha ha ha, yeah I had a few goes where I spun the first two times, then nailed it pretty well two times after that...

I just wasn't sure, thought those times could have been someone elses... :D

Thanks MEL!

Pinky Rules!!!

Apart from a single lunch-time blast in MSD00F's MX-5 (thanks again, Anna!) just before the battle courses were set up, the only burning and thrashing I did on the day was burning the sausages on the BBQ, and subsequently thrashing all your taste-buds as you all ate them. Many thanks to BenM and my little sister Rosie for help with the BBQ on the day!

Oh well, next time I'll be out there giving the wagon another hiding, and hopefully I'll have some other Stageas along as well, and NOT just sitting in the car park.

does anyone know of any upcoming skidpan days organized by any other car club or been to one? I don't care what car club it is .. I'd just love to give it another go before the car sells ;)

Driftmob are holding a drift day at EC in a week or so

http://www.driftmob.com.au/forum/viewtopic...f=23&t=3060

The setup we use is the only setup like it in Sydney.

The alternatives are drifting style or state champ style (competitive short tight course la that aren't as skyline friendly)

that's what makes it interesting!

That driftmob day looks kinda interesting, I've done the peanut track once before in my R31 and EC peanut would not be as exciting as Texi. I haven't made any enquiries cos I haven't seen any SAUers post that they're going :P

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
