friends are not an issue, plenty of parking spots and people are always welcome to come along for passenger rides as well. we have a few supra's attending this event, so different makes of cars are welcomed.

:thanks:, yep definitely a good way to get used to being sideways without damaging your car. well that and learning how to control it on wet conditions.

sorry for the delay in updating the list, i am unable to do this so i have to wait for a exec to do when they have a moment :rolleyes:

sweeeeet, this next month is gonna be long.....its been more than 5 yrs since i went skid panning. how is the facility compared to mount cotton?

i have never been to the mount cotton one, but i do like this one, big open pan with different tracks made up with cones. changes throughout the day gradually getting harder each time with varying speeds and corner difficulties.

mount cotton was/is a figure 8 with a bigger area on the side. not alot of room for error... but no drama if you did come off. just some dirt.

we did an hour or so of practice in the wet. then some circuits setup with cones in mixed wet and dry sections. lotsa fun.

cars were sooo filthy afterwards. i'll be polishing beforehand. makes cleaning after much easier

  • 2 weeks later...

Gympie is very different to Mt Cotton. Gympie is a huge square of concrete with water jets built into the pan whereas Mt Cotton had the sprinklers on the sides.

I did enjoy Mt Cotton as it was a much longer lap but we can configure Gympie in so many ways to keep it different for everyone.

Plus I didn't enjoy the crazy locals climbing the fence and laying on the track to stop us about an hour into the day and then no refunds...

The trip up to Gympie isn't too bad either. Some of us stay the night before and have a bit of a party.... Hey Todd!!!

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
