Ok guys, we need to have a discussion about the next possible skidpan day.

First things first. 16 people, full day, $150 each.

We do the skidpan as per usual for half the day, but then the LVMA for the other half. Let me give you an idea of the LVMA. Its basically a 100m x 100m bitumen area. It has witches hats on it, and little things that let water out. We do brake tests, slaloms, timed track runs. You get to go all out, the only thing you are worried about is putting in the quickest time you can. There will be points kept, with overall positions at the end of the LVMA.

The usual instructors will be there, and its a full day of going mental in a legal environment. Instructors are very good drivers who also egg you on (tony).

Its not hard on your car. The skidpan is covered in diesel and water and is easy on revs, temperature, tyres etc. LVMA is also easy on the car. Makes your car dirty though. If you are worried about that, dont come. If you want to go mental, or bet better at driving, come on down.

I have been to a full day session with Performance Forums, and 2 half day skidpans which I have organised.

Guys, talk to me about the price, the event, questions about instructors or possible damage, and who really wants to come. It will proabably be in feb or march on a Sunday.

I would be interested, but hopefully by then I'll have sold my car. $150 is a bit of money, but I guess it is worth it. I guess it will depend.

When does money etc, need to be in by? Also for the skidpan day, would there be people demopstrating/instructing on drift etc?

Thanks for all the hard work oorganising Slip ,keep it up mate!

ill demonstrate :D

as i said in the original post there are at least 3 instructors, who are all there to get your drifting ability, confidence, speed, and car control as good as they can by the end of the day. most people just take the instructors for a quick ride, then the instructor might drive their car to show them how its done in their first session. after that you can just go by yourself (or drift with 4 passengers like i have to sometimes as people like GARY pile in) and learn as you go. Very relaxed atmosphere. $150 is worth it, trust me.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
