Driftmob is holding another skidpan day on the 27th of this month, it’s at Oran parks skidpan, witch is about 3weeks away. The last skidpan day that they had was insane. There was heaps of different cars that turned up and people of all skills. They also had instructors who you could run shotgun with in there cars or they were jumping in your car as passenger to help you out. There will be about 3 or 4 different layouts done on the day, with also a couple of wet sessions. They had a BBQ and drinks crankin most of the day as well.

At the last skidpan day they had a eftpos machine there so you could pay and also join up to there club, they had a tow truck there in case your car broke down, (hope this happens to no one) and also a trailer of rims with tyres on them that you could borrow for a small cost, I honestly don’t remember how much they where but a fair few people did use them.

If you have always wonted to get out there and have some fun or give drifting a crack, these are the days you would wont to come to. Even if you know how to drift these days are great just to muck around, I never knew how much fun you could have on a skidpan. (thank you Andrew Hawkins). They are a very friendly bunch of guys and there is always a great atmosphere, on top of that there prices for there days are nice and cheap, these guys even recognize if you are a member of another cams affiliated car club and will give you there members rates.

Members $85

Non members $100

hey mate an L2ns licence is $50 which lasts 12 months but you can get a day licence for $20 but if you do a few of these events a year you would be better off getting the L2ns one

so either $150 or $120 for the day

    • Not noticeably. Arguably, the catless turbo is going to work harder in a different direction, as it will spool up faster, go to higher speeds more easily. Only if it was tuned in the original condition. If it was a stock tune, using the AFM before and after the cat/dump change, then no, no retune needed. If the car is running on a MAP sensor, then it might well benefit from a retune. It might even run a little dangerously without a retune, but it could quite easily be fine.
    • We had this blend that uses 98RON + 10% Ethanol which brought it to 100RON. It's no longer available anymore unfortunately.
    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
