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.

If people are thinking "maybe" about this

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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
