I got an invite from Na_r33 on friday afternoon for a skidpan and LVMA day, and since I had never done one before I couldn't resist. The thing I couldn't believe was that after a while the instructors just sat around and let you do pretty much whatever you wanted to do provided you are not a complete D*@%head. The only warning of the day I can remember was to try and keep the revs down a little.

I am still sunburnt, have a jarred neck, and my bank account is a little emptier but it was worth it. I had so much fun. Thanks must go to John who let me ride in the redline machine for much of the day, and to the other Skyline owner in the Purple qkr33 line. (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name.) Thanks for the drifting lessons.

And John. I hope you put more than 4 screws in your rear bumper when you put it back on.

Yes I took my car. I was a little reluctant at first but once I got into it I had an absolute ball. Also I only push whatever car I'm driving a little bit at a time until I reach what it can take. However getting to find out how it responds when you get it really out of control is both informative and really really fun. I also learnt that I need bigger rims. (Anyone could have told me that) and better tyres. and new brake pads. and sway bars. Damn. I need more money. There were also two porsche gt3's there. mmmmm. nice.

YES, the GT3's were pure porn.... they also put us c0cky skyline owners in out place to a degree, but we did quickly learn that our cars dont compare to them in many aspects, those these cars were proper race cars, almost no interior full cages BIG $$$$

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
