Well I'm going to tread hijack a little here cause I can't be bothered making a new topic.

The Skidpan day was a damn good giggle today. Thanks to Dereck and all the lads that came out for a spin. For those of you who were their (you know who you are) send me a PM and I'll link you to some of the photos I took. Don't really want to publicly post them without your permission.

See everyone at the next day, and remember . . . keep your chin up!

Can't be bothered making a new topic again.

Are any of the usual suspects heading out to the pan tomorrow, 31st January?

Just wondering if you are, and you're one of the lads with a "ECUTalk Consult," if you'd be willing to bring it along and let me try it on my r33. If you're not coming out or you can't be bothered removing it from your car it's no big deal, but if you're there and it's convenient and your willing to I'd like to give it a try.

Cheers,

Rob.

i'm interested in getting my car out on te skid pan and playing around with it..

how do i go about it?

i hear you guys always talking about, i would love to get my car out there.

thanks

just come out tomorrow and talk to Derek, he will let you know when the next one is on and ask him to reserve you a spot..

if you cant talk to him then see if you can get intouch with ZCR, TURISMO or Mccready as they are regulars out on the skidpan and i believe that 1 if not all of them will be there tomorrow

Thanks TURISMO, but don't go out of your way. If it was gonna be nice and handy I would like to test it out for 5 min or so. I've already spoken with the guys who make them and have been placed on the mailing list for the next batch, but would have liked to try one before hand. If you're gonna be in the area it would be sweet, but like I said, don't go out of your way for it.

Appreciate the offer though.

drool, is that black 4 door the autech replica? dang it two other 4 door skylines there, anyone going to the skidpan day on the 15th? Does derek have to do DB readings on cars now? damn.

yea it seems if your car looks loud he'll do the DB check. as long as its not stupidly loud he doesnt mind. had it done to my friend's car at the one i organised a few weeks ago lol

i might go to the one on the 15th, money pending and whether my suspension will be in by then

great pics anthony! sorry the SAU sticker is soo dirty!

what time did you get to the skid pan shell? we were in the morning session. i won't be out there on the 15th, i'll be there on the 22nd at a private booking instead

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
