Count me in as a "yes, depending on date"

Will there be someone there to provide 'pointers', as I dont even pretend to know how to drift.

Hopefully my HICAS and Rear Suspension will be fixed by then.

Ok That's 30, still need a couple more to make it fly.

Dave said that we could have the figure 8 track as well for an additional $30 a car.

If we had both pans open we could rotate from one to the other and get twice the amount of skid time.

What does everyone think of the additional cost to double your time and introduce some variety into the day.

All right everyone looks like we are good to go.

We have a couple of options with respect to sessions and tracks.

We have 40 people interested.

We can do the Skidpan only for 20 people in a morning & afternoon session at $50 each

We can do both the skidpan and the figure 8 wet track for about $100 all day 40 people at once.

Both Options give you a spin every 20 min so there will be plenty of drive time. The date Sat 23rd November.

I think for variety and fun we should all spend the $100 and do the full day. This is really cheap, for example yesterday 28 people had the skidpan at EC only for the afternoon, mid week $145 each, so this is fantastic value for the weekend and a whole day and both tracks.

I will post up a new event with only the $100 option for the whole day. Those that want a half-day send me a PM and I will talk to Dave and see what I can do. But really even if you rock up late it will still be good value for the day. As a Fall back if numbers get thin we can only do the skid pan and back to plan A morning and arvo sessions.

Thanks all and please use the new thread.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
