friends are not an issue, plenty of parking spots and people are always welcome to come along for passenger rides as well. we have a few supra's attending this event, so different makes of cars are welcomed.

:thanks:, yep definitely a good way to get used to being sideways without damaging your car. well that and learning how to control it on wet conditions.

sorry for the delay in updating the list, i am unable to do this so i have to wait for a exec to do when they have a moment :rolleyes:

sweeeeet, this next month is gonna be long.....its been more than 5 yrs since i went skid panning. how is the facility compared to mount cotton?

i have never been to the mount cotton one, but i do like this one, big open pan with different tracks made up with cones. changes throughout the day gradually getting harder each time with varying speeds and corner difficulties.

mount cotton was/is a figure 8 with a bigger area on the side. not alot of room for error... but no drama if you did come off. just some dirt.

we did an hour or so of practice in the wet. then some circuits setup with cones in mixed wet and dry sections. lotsa fun.

cars were sooo filthy afterwards. i'll be polishing beforehand. makes cleaning after much easier

updated list guys. only 3 spots left!!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

Gympie is very different to Mt Cotton. Gympie is a huge square of concrete with water jets built into the pan whereas Mt Cotton had the sprinklers on the sides.

I did enjoy Mt Cotton as it was a much longer lap but we can configure Gympie in so many ways to keep it different for everyone.

Plus I didn't enjoy the crazy locals climbing the fence and laying on the track to stop us about an hour into the day and then no refunds...

The trip up to Gympie isn't too bad either. Some of us stay the night before and have a bit of a party.... Hey Todd!!!

List has been updated, only 1 spot left!!!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
