Bit of an old thread, did you end up making it down there?

www.motorkhana-sa.com should keep you up to date on events in the future...(hopefully)

As for car set up, yes higher pressure at the rear helps initally to make them slide, but if you get your handbrake sorted out (skyline ones should be fine stock with good pads) then as your skill level improves you will be wanting more rear traction to get power down.

Im running skyline brakes all round in my S14.... with semi-slicks at low pressure and a fair bit of work done to the rear suspension to get camber and float under control I am still looking to get more rear traction. I now leave the spare tyre in and am considering organising balast in the rear for next year to try and get closer to a 50:50 weight distibution.

yeah you can get a fairly good measurement by just weighing half the car at a time... they had corner scales set up at the last event to check the super specials so I took the oppertunity to check mine.

I have about 100kg more on each front wheel compared with the rear - ~355kg V's 255kg. if I can get another 50kg on to each rear wheel - and take maybe half of that off each front wheel it would lauch a whole lot better out the gate and when getting power down.
