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

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
