yeh, parhaps i should explain myself.... tried to adjust the attitude of car mid corner and touched brakes a little too hard.....therefore went into a spin.... ask Neil for more info... he had front row seats to the whole shebang

Nick, book yourself in for the 17th of July, we are going to hit Q.R. A great place to learn about car control at high speed with little fear of hitting anything. Plenty of notice. Save those $$$ and get some new tyres! Skidpan day should be in August, don't miss that either. Tip of the day: Never hit the brakes hard mid corner unless you have already passed the point of no return and are just trying to minimise the damage by trying to slow up a bit.

Yes Grasshopper.

I am going to put up a proper post for it in the events section in the next few days try build a little interest. It will have all the necessary info, links and stuff.

hmmm pan sounds fun.... what happens at a pan anyway?? all i know is people go nuts and drive over water+diesel.... :confused:

Yeah, you go nuts but with water and diesel it means everything happens in slow motion so you should learn better steering control/throttle control. It hasn't helped me yet, I spend too much time last time facing the wrong way!

Yes i know lots about facing the wrong way... lol.. last night on that turn i ended up looking at Neil thru the passenger side window...lol

as am i man, as am i

worse was i actually was sitting there watching

had to leave after half a day, couldnt take it anymore :)

Yeah John sent me a PM offering me a lift, but I had to decline as I new watching would make me a little agro. Especially with no way home, stuck there forced to watch.

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
