Got this email from Aaron McGill the other day.

Skid pan days are a really great, fun, safe, not hard on your car kind of day. I would recommend anyone who has bought their Skyline in the last year or so and hasn't been to one to give it a go. It's the first thing I did and I learnt so much about the car.

Hi drivers,

To better serve you guys, our customers, we are constantly trying to bring you exciting new ways to enjoy your motoring. Please read this e-mail carefully and respond to it.

We have finalised negotiations with Eastern Creek to hire the Skid Pan from 5 pm until 9.00 pm on Friday nights during daylight saving.

Costs are the sticking point, as the venue must hire security, pay the EPA for a noise permit and have an ARDC staff member stay back.

The cost to you as drivers would be $139.00 inc GST.

We are prepared to book 8 dates over summer as long as you, our customers are wanting such an activity at that price.

IT'S YOUR CALL PEOPLE, DEMOCRACY AT WORK!!!!

EASTERN CREEK TWIGHLIGHT SKID PAN SESSION - FRIDAY DEC 16

As above but one week later, you can't say we don't give you choice!

I know my gf absolutely loved it. It looks like we have some interest here so what say people post up if you are keen and I can organise a day just for us or we can try for a cheaper entry to one of the events posted above.

The idea is you are sliding around the wet and lfat concrete skid pan, some of the time trying not to slide and some of the time trying to slide with control. Earlier on you are learning how and when the car slides and later you push it harder to go fast within the limts of traction.

I nearly pulled of a 360 once but you can't get enough traction to get fast enough to get all the way round. :):D It's very safe.

    • 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.
