Some old skid clips..

Answers to some FAQ's and some advise...

1:Remove ALL crap from your car that is not actually BOLTED to your car.. paper, sub boxes, junk, tool boxes, lose crap. They fly round and wreck stuff!

2: Check your tyre pressures. I recommend you pump the REAR tyre pressure to the MAX as indicated on the sidewall of that tyre. DONT use SPINNERS! Spinners unbalance the car...

3: You will need at least half a tank of fuel to go skidding for the day, depending on how thursty your car is and how heavy your foot is!

4: If your driving more than an hour to get to the skid pan, plan a rest somewhere on the way home, It may save your life.. its a long day!

5: Check ALL fluids, dont overfill ANYTHING.

6: Dont come skidding if your car has a mechincal issue, you may break it.. ..and that sux!

7: If you want to get better at skidding, LISTEN to the instructor, he knows a few things..!

8: If your a newbie.. thats cool. Dont worry if you dont get it all together the first skid day.. it takes time and practice! Just ask for help, and we will do what we can!

9: You dont need a helmet, special licence or special tyres. Just bring your normal car as you normally drive it..

10: If you want to go skidding on another day, please email me and I'll see what I can do for you.

IF you require more info, feel free to email/pm me.

RULES

01: NEVER skid past or near a car or person! Dont skid when people are picking up cones. This is VERY bad, you will be sent home.

02: Do not spin tyres ANYwhere but on the skid pan.

03: Drive off the skid pan slowly.

04: Cool down laps on the black stuff are fine, consider other drivers, no overtaking, 40KM/h speed limit.

05: This is NOT drifting. Drifting involves tyre smoke and close car proximity. We dont do either.

06: All vehicles MUST have a full exhaust.. including mufflers. Sound limits do apply.

07: Pick up your own cones in your skid go, not after your go.

08: Seatbelts must always be worn, keep all of your body INSIDE the vehicle.

09: Only the nominated driver (who signs the indemnity form is permitted to drive.

10: Refrain from smoking near the shed and other cars.

11: No alcohol, drugs or HANGOVERS are permitted!

12: Your friends are your responsibility, They get asked to leave, so do you!

13: Dont break my rules, play nice or else you and your mates WILL be evicted.

14: OPEN license required. If asked, you must produce it on the day.

Use your common sence, and everybody will have a great day!

Got videos or photos from this recent day? Would be keen as to come out for the next one of these would be awesome

yea x2

and when's the next time this is on?

oohhh and why is it $160 just to skid around on a wet skidpad??

if any info would be good thanx..

PM's sent.

Basicly, low car numbers = large amount of track time = higher cost but heaps more fun!

I've got a disc here, but having trouble loading it.. might see if I can get it onto youtube and add another link!

cheers

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
