I think we really need a skid pan here!

We could have so many events there, eg. motokhana's, drift, go to whoa, burnout's, whatever! Even just "open" nights during the week to get it out of your system, and it would also be a good place to catch up and have a chat with free entertainment.

It would save all the "hoons" doing it on the street. Especially if it was low cost.

And it would be awsome if it was central, not miles away. You wouldn't need alot of land.

Does anyone know who you would have to speak to to get the ball rolling???

What's everyones view on this?

Problem is the government in this state is run by an ex cop (rann) and all he see's places like this drag strips etc etc as is encouregment for "hoon" drivers so doubtful you'll get any government support for anything like this....

All great ideas in theory though, pity they can't see the response they get in otherstates for places like this though, all they wanna do is bring in new laws all the time instead of trying to fix the issues....cheaper that way

Any more info on this driver training at west lakes? Looking for something like this (skid pan/defensive driver training course/etc).

At the Learner Driving course place in Palkholme there is a skid pan but looks as if it hasn't been used for years, its blocked off by those huge rocks and has plenty of weeds growing.

I feel strongly about this so I'm happy to work at it, but I just wouldn't know where to start, who to talk to, etc. Anyone tried to do anything like this before? Who do I have to "convince" to make this happen?

It's a pity the government doesn't comprimise/talk with car enthusiasts to try and resolve/minimise hoon behaviour.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.

      The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate

      By silviaz · Posted

      I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.

      I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
