Deca Skidpan Day, Nov 26Th $100 Open To All Imports!


Recommended Posts

nah thats it mate, and the skid pan will most likley be wet :D

Have you ever been on this skidpan before? Do NOT wet it, you will ruin everyone's fun. Its easy enough to slide on already, even in underpowered NA cars. When its wet you literally have to feather the throttle everywhere, you get no traction, speed or control.

hell yeah, I've seen a Forrester aquaplane off the skid pan at slow speeds b4.

if you feel a need to wet it do it for the expression session at the end of the day not at the start!

or better yet just come to the SAU one this weekend......

Lol relax we will have 3 different tracks running either wet or dry so everyone gets a fair go

you might want to think of some more tracks as we go through 50 cars each doing 4 runs on the skipan in about 3 or 4 hours

just a thought anyways :thumbsup:

    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is. 
    • I'm always a glass half full kinda guy. This will be a great project and the finished product will be awesome.
    • A local that insisted he learned from the best in Australia for RB builds managed to machine a head past the point of saving according to another shop and it dropped a valve too. Ghosted the customer and as far as I know nothing really happened to him. A coworker also recently told a story about owning a Porsche in Germany and running into issues with a dealer tech leaving scratches, oil stains, and missing parts all over his car. I'm not a master tech by any means but at this point I've seen enough expensive mistakes that I'd rather make them myself.
    • 12 months on the pump would be great! The pump is really not that old, I have a receipt from when it was purchased new and it's done ~25,000km since then. it really should be okay. And if it it's not, well. I figured I'd at least run it out as it's already tapped for the nissan temp sensor sticking out of it. Here it was, ready to make it's journey back into the bay, though the balancer had to be tightened/seated more. And it was very stubborn to sit back. So much so that the crank bolt ended up stripping inside the crank instead of the balancer moving to it's intended location.  
    • There are professional butt-monkeys too. Just from lack of familiarity in Europe and the US there are plenty of mechanics who do things the wrong way on RBs. Even here in Oz, where we've been playing with RBs since 1986, there are still examples of the not-quite-bright-enough mechanic doing the wrong thing and causing simple jobs to go wrong.
