Ok, Its been awhile since I ventured into stagea land..

11 Oct - Gympie Crew This Date is booked out!

Everybody is welcome to attend the Gympie Crew's skid days. Contact [email protected] for bookings.

The SAU days will be organised by RevHead (or the new President) and as usual you will need to be a paid SAU member.

Contact RevHead for details and bookings. He has let the odd non-member in!

The Bundy Crew skid days are being organised by my mate Lars.(Nissan-R33) There will be cars from Bundy, Hearvey Bay and Maryborough.

price: $120 per car.

As normal for my skid days, your entry fee entitles you and one freind to free tuition, BBQ lunch and free soft drinks all day!

The skid day is 8am-4pm. lunch is eaten on the run between goes. Tuition is built into the day as part of the day. Our tuitor is a qualified driving instructor. One on one tuition is available to anybody who asks at no extra cost, in or out of your car!

Feel free to ask any questions. Feel free to ask other guys who have been skidding for their opinion..!

I have marked all my previous skid day posts (in the QLD Events section) with the blue question mark. I did this so it is easy to track.. check them out!

I know it seems obvious, but i prefer import cars! At least bring a car with some real HP!

I do have a few regulars cars that are powered by bent eights who skid very well.

So if you cant bring your toy, take your mates! But leave your sisters lancer at home..

It has been seen a number of times where large horsepowered cars don't skid quite as well as some lower figure cars. So don't think that u need 450hp to play. A standard stagea or skyline is a great start.. anything more than that is just more fun.

Being wet concrete, it doesn't seem to matter if you have 120 or 420 hp, all the skills are the same.

Tyre wear is minimal, and I don't even bother swapping my street rubber.

Any other Q's?

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
