Skid Day Dates For 2008! Starting The 15th March 08


Recommended Posts

The only way to secure a spot is to pay, only then it is guareented.

Nobody who has paid has been turned away, EVER.

So, pay for a date and know that ur in. If for some odd reason you can't make it, give me some notice a I should be able to get somebody to buy your spot, or you can opt to sell it to one of your mates.

By doing this, its stops guys backing out in the last minute and leaving me with a huge bill!

But you are more than welcome to come to any skid day i run.. even if you only want to support a mate!

actually i must have mis-read that. i meant 10th may? whichever the first sau one is.

Not a member of sau yet and money is a bit tight atm. But yeah would love to come to Lars' day if im welcome? and will come to the SAU days if i become a member and there is still spots available :D

Ohh today was the best skid day I have run to date.

Great people, some new cars, some oldies, some girls who skidded very well.. what a total blast!

Lars in his R33 won the season trophy against Leigh in the Supra by only 1.6 seconds..

Cody won the shoot out, he was very tidy and performed well.

Eddy in his new GT skyline won the time trial. by a massive margin! he learnt very quickly and drove very smoothly.. excellent for a new skidder!

Hey Aaron, no one was more suprised than me with my performance in the time trials... it was all the car. I had soo much fun I booked for March straight away. My 17 year old son had not driven the car before and due to some expert tution from Mark, yourself and Wozza, improved greatly even winning his first round shootout!! I would recommend it to everyone. See ya next time.

yep.. its all good. another great day at the skid pan!

John, u are more than welcome (like everybody else) to skid anytime u can book in..

Biff Barker.. that u eddy? ya, that car is super, i want it. it has SOOOO much grip! Come anytime u can man. I know ur busey, but make sure u fit it in ok!

I wrote this on another thread i started about skid days.. READ IT!

The ethos of our skid day is this...

Grab your street car..

grab some fuel and your mate,

go to the skid pan and scatch an itch..

Drive your car as it is..

learn how it acts and reacts on a slippery wet surface.

Have some fun...

Talk to some of the other drivers,

have some more fun.

Get some tuition.

Learn what your car is asking of you..

have some more fun scratching that itch,

skid around and play a bit more,

if you feel the need, grab a free soft drink.

Now you are starting to get an idea of what is happening,

Get some more tuition..

Learn some new skills,

then...

hone your new skills,

put new skills into practice.

Grab a snag off the BBQ and eat a burger.

just for a difference, do a a bit itch scratching

try not to smile so hard that it hurts!

After about 3 skid days like this.. you will catch onto what we are on about!

Guys it only takes me and hour and forty mins to get to gympie from kangaroo point, its not really that far at all... and if you come ill even drive along side u there and back... you know "driving" what we bought our cars for...

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
