A few members have expressed their interest in us having a skid-pan day with slidewise out at Gympie. So I'm chucking this up to gauge member interest in the idea, if we get enough people interested we may be able to book a day just for the club.

Interested:

I hate foot brakes. I really do. It's the only thing that makes me think twice about getting a V36 in the future. Depending on date I might be keen, can probably get Dylan to come as well, I know he likes to get the AMG sideways.

Manuals don't have foot brakes... Just sayin :P

V series aren't really sports cars (in my opinion) so manual is silly :-P I want a V36 as a daily and an s13 or E30 for fun. Soon, soon I will have money and not be a uni bum.

They're a mix between luxury and performance so you do find that there are some features you long for. Although, installing a hydraulic handbrake in one could be interesting.... :P

E30 with SR20! Do it!!

It is one idea. My criteria are simple for my 'fun' car once I can afford one. Cheap, light, RWD/AWD and I can fit in it with a helmet on.

You should be right in a e30. S13 may be a tight fit though. With my helmet I had about an inch and a bit from the roof.

I fit S13's fine. Never tried an E30. FC/FD is a no no, same with MX-5's. Old AWD cars like GC8V or EVO 5-6 interest me but they are significantly more expensive to start. May require less work however... I only want moderate power, almost any car will have more than I can fully use.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
