Hey guys just trying to guage the level of interest for an event that myself and my V8 driving mate have in mind.

We propose to have 12 cars and drivers on each team to compete at AHG skid pan timed event to see which car really is better.

To be an entrant you will need a car worthy of the challenge, a competition license, helmet , long sleeves etc etc.

You will be able to drive any road registered car (full race cars not permitted). It is not a drift event, it is a timed event so we would only want entrants who will be going for the fastest times.

We would like it to be a fun semi serious competition. I would imagine that cost per driver will be $80-90 and it will be an Afternoon event (12.30-4.30).

So, who would be interested? Let me know if you are interested, and you have competition license (with out a CAMS or AASA license you will not be able to enter...please keep that in mind). Post any questions you have and ill see what i can do to answr them. Keep in mind that at this moment it is in the very early stages of planning so no date is set yet...i need to know we can get the numbers before we can go much further with it. Please dont whore the thread to much.

Cheers

Brad

I'd be really keen. I wouldn't mind having a drive on the skid pan in the R34 before this day as I haven't taken it for a serious drive yet. Also it is in need of a tune, so not in the very near future. Brad, are you looking for people with more experience, or just anyone willing to give it a crack? I really want to get into this sort of competition as I've told you before, but as you know, my experience is limited atm. Still improving though :P

lol... also, hopefully I can afford to have an exhaust by then. My rims should be on, so should have plenty of grip, but its going to look a bit week with just a stock exhaust :P Need to order a dump and a cat and then have a chat to Kermit again :)

Ryan, its all in the name of fun so experience is not everything. Any one can enter. You wont get the experience if you dont get out there and try. What are you doing May 20 in the afternoon?? If you can get off work that day, PM me :P

haha, you guys talking about sabotaging my car, Im on your side! haha AHG would be more suitable to the awd vehicles (Evo's, STi's, GT-R's etc) but don't forget there are some quick v8's and drivers out there!

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
