Like Deca? Wish It Were Closer? Wish No Longer! New Skid Pan In Melbourne!


Recommended Posts

RTR - 'Road Track Rally' have delivered...... baller style.

Yes, you're seeing correct. A 9000 sqm (i believe) skid pan VERY soon to be available in western Melbourne. Prob 30-45min'ish for those of us on the civilised side of Melbourne :D

Slightly smaller than DECA overall, but i think maybe a little longer... not 100% sure

Not April fools, this is full legit, ready to rock early 2013!!! Bring it!

oooooooooooooohhhhh yeeeaahhhhhhh.........

Like DECA?

I see no back track :huh:

As said in the other thread (might have been wasteland), hopefully it doesn't go the way of Drag Tag's skidpan that ended up having the Law sitting out front of it all the time. Although it wasn't built as a skidpan given the main business is Forklifts... So council likely don't know it's going to be used for "that"...

oh yeah, no back track, but 'like DECA' i meant is in the 'affection' variety, not necessarily by it's exact make-up. But still, great to have an autocross venue close by - google tells me 45mins

public events? as long as there is an event you can join, then that's all we need. SAU DECA aren't exactly 'public' events, still need a CAMS/ASAA (or aasa whatever) license. I'm guessing it will be along those lines

i'm sure this is a multi-purpose venue, but will cater for motorsport events.

If anything, this will be a good compliment for DECA, you can do these events close-by but if you want a day mixed with some tight track action, you can go for a DECA.

hahaha, yes Grant, no armco :D

Ye that's cause it's all 100km/h sans the Westgate section :thumbsup:

It's still 25mins from the CBD regardless was my point, as it's being claimed as "10mins", which is just rubbish as it takes 10-15mins to get the the WGB from the CBD - i do it regularly

this isn't a workshop war thread, not that there is one going on, this is just to let you know we all will have a DECA (skid pan) sized facility available to us for autocross events. That's it, we should be all grateful for having motorsport facilities closer to us... isn't that what we've always called for? Yes it isn't another metro track like Sandown, but good luck that happening. And no there isn't a back-track like DECA, but it's still potentially a great facility to have some safe fun, that's pretty easy on the car.

10-20mins whatever, all i know is that more close motorsport venues the better, no?

Ye that's cause it's all 100km/h sans the Westgate section :thumbsup:

You must drive slow I regularly do point cook / hoppers crossing to city in 15-20 mins

    • I'm only really familiar with the R33 setup, the factory filter is very much an encourage fuel pick up thingo.  The factory pump sits about half way down into the tank and the sock runs down into the bottom of the tank.  Mounting an aftermarket pump in the factory location with the typical tiny Walbro filter, I had huge fuel surge issues once the fuel level dropped below 50%. 
    • Hi Gent, Got my r34 GTT 1999 ,wondering if anyone has a stock airbox with snorkel? currenly it has a pod filter which im planning to remove and install the stock part, as this needs to go to vic road for inspection. Appreciate your assistance. 
    • Yeah, I still dunno. The size of the sock should only matter if it is blocked. It is, after all, a filter rather than a "thing to encourage fuel pickup". He has modded the original so that it is now down on the floor, so it's not physically the same as in the original complaint, yet does the same thing. I therefore lean to the problem being somewhere else. Sticking some dynomat on there is a worthwhile experiment, but I'd put $10 on it not fixing the problem.
    • I don't remember hearing it before the coolant and bonnet escapade. I wonder if a couple of pulleys being filled with hot coolant was not to their liking?
    • Took her down to be the wedding car ❤️ and I love the people’s advice 😂
