was decent, when track dried up was good alot of cars shredding tyres down the straight.. feel sorry for the guy who rolled quite lucky the roof only caved in the passenger side and the silvia and chaser that had the collision. unlucky :(

Despite the rain, Mallala was the most packed I've ever seen, so clearly the Matsuri idea was a good breath of fresh air into the drift scene. I've just got home because of the antartic conditions out there, but if they run one of these in summer it will be unreal.

it was a great day apart from the weather, but thats how mallala rolls.

Skid pan was epic, reminded me of the old Pt Gawler days, got to sit in my car(tailgate up on the stagea) and watch cars go balistic.

Fairly annoyed that i didn't take my helmet with me, My mate was running his S13 1JZ and a freshly built(ie finished the cage on friday night) Ke70 with sr20 power.

The only helmets they had wouldn't fit my stupid massive head!!!

nah not a free for all man, set schedule, different groups at different times, marshalls and fire guys always on track. Cars go through scrutineering to make sure they are safe. Yesterday was one of the best run events i have been part of from what i saw.

So cables ties are OK? :blink:

Sorry Luke, couldn't resist :P

i sure hope so cause cable ties and tape is basic requirements of any performance car :laugh:

when is this event on next?

what does it cost?

is it just drift practice..................iam keen to have a go nuffin like a barge loosing control was there many bigger cars out or is it import's only :ermm:

there were a couple of commodores and even a BA ute out yesterday but yeah majority are imports.

Pete - cable ties are part of the regulations, no cable ties = fail scrutineering :P

This matsuri event wont be run again untill toward the end of the year but there is rnd 2 of the state competition on the 24th of this month and there is a practice day or night pretty much every month.

for those with face book you can sus this short vid of the skidpan setup. was pretty wild in there at times, with 5-6 cars sliding around

Matsuri skid pan

daniel and craig built that rolla in under 3 weeks just to take passengers out!

yeah it's a pretty tuff rolla, they finished the cage on friday arvo, and it has some very customer rear suspension mounts.lol

Daniel was pretty stuffed by mid-matsuri, he was up fairly late rewiring the s13, that dude is just waaaayyyy too motivated. very good fabricator tho.

Definately chucking my XXXfat helmet in the car next time, keen for some Ke70 laps and i would love a ride in his s13, that 1jz sounds tough as!!!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
