Ok, if you look at the start of the thread, you will see that the gympie crew days are now totally booked out.

That means all of next year is booked solid with spare cars on all days!

If you want to get into a skid day, PM NISSAN R33.. for the bundy day!

Other than that, become an SAU member and go with SAU!

Cheers

I will post up a full list of all skid days for next year as soon as i can get a copy off of Grant!

Then everybody will see who is in or out!

I'm changing the scoring on the time trial and shoot out. It will be interesting to see it in action.

Time trial:

1st 25 points

2nd 20 points

3rd 17

4th 15

5th 13

6th 10

7th 8

9th 4

10th 2

11th place or more gets 1 point

DNF 0 points.

Crash -2 points!

for the shoot out:

1st 11 points

2nd 7

3rd 5

4th 3

everybody else gets 1 point.

It is possible for 1 driver to be the fastest in both time trials and win the shoot out and win the max available 61 points.

Each time trial event will be allocated points. So, if u win the first time trial u will get 25 points, then u get 6th in the second round u will get another 10 points. Then if u come 3rd in the shoot out u will get another 5 points. That makes u a total of 40 points.

There is a prize for the highest points score of the day!

Your points will be acrewed over the year and the winner will get the piston trophy at the end of the year! The trophy Lars (Nissan-R33) just won!

Consistantcy will be the key.. Keep it smooth and tidy. Speed is fine, but accuaricy is final.

Like it?

The list has just been updated and corrected.

Unfortunatly RoadCraft (the skid pan owners) have had to change 2 dates on me later in the year..

It appears the dates will only be moved foward or back 1 week. I will post up again when all is clear and who it will effect. But at this stage, only 2 dates late in the year are effected.

Mark, Warren and I went to the skid pan yesterday afternoon to do maintence

(we like to help when we can!)

while we were there, we discussed the next tech session..

The outcome is totally useless on the road.. but megga fun.

We will be learning how to do a controlled loose, 360 degree turn and drive out!

thoughts..

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
