Hi everyone

Due to a cancellation I have an empty skidpan on Saturday 19th November.

As usual we will be conducting a morning session and afternoon session on both of theses dates.

If you would like to attend a skidpan session please let me know asap as it's first come first served.

Cost is $120 per driver.

As usual we cant allow spectators.

I give my personal reccomendation to do it.

Ive been to 2 skid pan, and 1 training day.

Kev & they boys are great to deal with, and excellent instructors.

Your sure to take away more than what you came with.

Plus its legal-sliding :P

Hi Kev,

I am pretty sure I will attend, I will send you can email later. But I'm just wondering if these skidpan days have an instructor and is it a lesson or is it just 120 for you to spend half a day sliding on a skidpan with no guidance?

Thanks

Christof

This is definatly a great day, I had so mush fun last time I was on the skid pan...taught me a fair bit about controlling my car too (well, sideways anyway:)). Well worth the money thats for sure! I'd be there if i could.

cant wait till the next advance driving day gets organised, the defensive one was a BIG eye opener!!

on that note..... I dont mean to "whore" the thread Kevin, but I was wondering if anything has been organised about the last SAU Defensive Driving Course done a while ago with the participants Certificates? As i havent heard anything for ages?

Could you please give us a short description of what is involved and the location of the course, im interested in this saturday

Thanks

We run 6 drivers per four hour course.

We start with a brief classroom session on skid control theory.

Then onto the pan, we generally run the first two drive sessions with instructor in the car with you.

Then we will run a timed motor khana .

Then the last driving session is a freestyle session where the drivers can just have a fang by themselves. :P

Yeah, I know, I asked for everyone to resend me their names for the certs a while ago coz some of the hand writing on the attendance sheet is pretty hard to make out.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
