This Sunday 18th of March, 5th Gear motorsports and Federal Tyres are having a combined event at the Sutton Driver training centre - Sutton Road NSW.

There will be a FREE bbq for all, cars on display, give aways, the Formula 1 racing on the big screen and an afternoon "Skid and Drift" session on the skid pan open to everyone for only $25 per session!

Come along and have a snag and watch some F1 racing or drifting and a chat to us about Federal tyres and 5th Gear's motorsports offers.

All are welcome - Spectators included! :laugh::)

this sounds fun. what time?

Its an all day event, we'll be there from about 9am until 5pm and the BBQ will probably be from about 11am until 1-2pm.

The afternoon Skid and drift sessions will start from 1pm.

There will also be a Motorkhana event held by the MG club adjacent to the skid pan for most of the day.

So you shouldnt be short of things to do! :w00t:

We'll be going until about 5pm depending on how many people are around, we may go for a bit longer.

Thats a good way to put it.

It is a great way to have fun but also to learn something about your car and how it reacts in slippery situations.

The weather is apparently going to be warm and sunny so do bring sunscreen and a hat so you can enjoy the day without getting to roasted.

I hope to see as many of you there as possible. :happy:

Who saw the Suzuki Swift hooning around and having to constantly wait for the black Monaro to get its 5h1t together? I was in the swift :D Aching arm from all the handbraking now hahaha but man that thing was fun, just enough power and lightweight to bring it around after a quick flick.

As my gf says (it's her car): "Go Swifty!"

It was a good fun day and I am really keen for the next one in 2 weeks! hopefully we will get some good footage then.

It was good to see a variety of people and cars there. A lot of 1st timers having a good time.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.

      Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!
