Guys

The following are the last dates we will be running at the Skidpan :P

23rd and 24th June

1st July

We still have some vacancies for the above dates.

After the 1st July we will no longer be running Skidpan days as the venue will no longer be available for private use :)

If you would like to attend one of our remaining skidpan days please let me know via email asap.

Please dont pm me

First come first served.

PS Thanks to all the SAU drivers who have attended in the past, was a pleasure to meet all of you.

Kind regards

Kev

Damn Kev, that's not good news :w00t:

THANKS FOR ALSO OFFERING SUCH GREAT EVENTS, AT THAT VENUE, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS :blush: Hopefully you could find a similar venue elsewhere.

Where are you going to be doing your driver training days?

In a huge coincidance: I was speaking to my mate Malcolm and he asked if there would be any interest from SAU to hire Calder Park during weekdays. He now manages track hire, so if you are keen just drop me a PM. Weekends are booked solid for the next two months, at least, but weekdays are pretty vacant and can be booked for a fraction of the weekend price.

man this sucks, cant go cause ill be up north and it will no long be avalerble so were are i going to bracktise my slideing now?????

goverment needs to do more me thinks to help young people get off the road

Damn Kev, that's not good news :D

Hey Al

I know Mal at Calder, we use Calder quite a bit during the week for Defensive Driving Courses.

We'll still be using Calder, Sandown , Broadford, and Oran Park for our driving courses , just cant use Attwood anymore.

Hopefully we'll be able to build our own venue in the not to distant future :bunny:

Well if you organise another "Sandown style" event at Calder, after August, i'll definately be interested. Doesn't have to be Calder actually, any track will do :), but if at Calder i will helping a mate, a sponsor and still have a great day: WIN, WIN and WIN!!

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
