Latest update 24 spots taken. Have just taken 4 confirmations, with a 5th coming through from J@Y on the SAU forums any minute now... One entrant has mentioned he may have to cancel on Friday, which means that a spot may become available at the last minute. If anyone wants to be on the wait list, please contact me directly via email or PM with a mobile number.

Whoa - J@Y, you have no idea how lucky you are - you will snag the last spot! 2 other R33's going, Tony and Josh.

Update 7 spots left

Hey Jay, If you wish to be involved in this event, you need to get your payment in as quickly as possible, as traditionally there is a last minute rush on spots leading up to the event. The event takes place at Oran Park, 8am till 5pm. Cost is $280.00 and includes lunch. Since you have not done an event like this before, you will be doing a small amount of theory at the beginning of the day, then it's out to do some high speed braking, skid pan work, slalom (around witches hats, motorkhana style) etc. Please PM or email me if you wish to be involved!

UPDATE: 10 spots left.

2 silver R33 Skylines confirmed! Hopefully we can get them both on the skid pan at the same time...

May have one more R33 Links, waiting for confirmation! Another silver one too, i believe!

Apologies for dodgy link! The day will be preceding Friday, March 10 regardless of wether we fill every slot or not. Entrants will be divided into those who haven't done Stage 1 and those who have. Those who haven't will cover some of the basics so that they can be bought up to speed and join in on some of the Stage 2 stuff. 14 spaces left. Some Nissan's attending, no Skylines (yet)

16 spaces left. This event is now open to those who haven't completed Stage 1. Entrants will be seperated on the day so that first timers can be bought up to speed early in the morning and then participate in the Stage 2 stuff. A golden opportunity, then!

20 places remaining.

CircusMonkey/aussie_tul: Thanks! To be honest, that is a cropped version of the original, but overall composition is much the same. Saw many scenes like this which would look ordinary to a local, but to myself, just too JDM-lah not to snap a picture! Took a number of pics of this GTR, pm me for exchange of emails and i'd be happy to send some to you. sig, can't wait for the next installment!

A small intrustion if i may - stumbled on this thread and came over all nostalgic, since i have a similar thread on our forums, subsequent to my recent trip to The Land of the Rising Sun. I can't encourage people enough to go there - truly fascinating place, both for lovers of anything JDM, and for those who just like to travel. The entire thread for those who can be bothered is here: http://forum.altezzaclub.org.au/index.php?showtopic=1923 But some pics from the Motor Show that SAU viewers might find interesting are below (unfortunately, i could barely get near the R35 Prototype on display)

This course is now booked out. If you would like to be placed on the wait list, incase of last minute cancellations, please indicate via PM.

There is now only 1 space remaining on this course. Please email or PM me if you intend to take this coveted spot! I also have 2 payments from people who have NOT emailed me to confirm their deposit. If you think you may be one of these people or if you have not received direct confirmation of payment from me and me only, then email me or PM me ASAP with details of your deposit.

8 spaces left.

10 spaces remain. Entrants now include Altezza, MX5, Liberty, Supra, VW, JDM/Sylvia club members.

Greetings all - yes , my first post on SAU, have lurked here for some time though being a fan of Skylines and all. Who isn't?! ANYHOO: It's that time of year again - the Altezza Club are holding another Ian Luff Stage 1.5 Advanced Driving Course at Oran Park. For those who don't know, the Ian Luff advanced driving course is a chance for you to get out and learn the basics of how your car stops and turns on the limit in a safe and controlled environment. And it's bloody good fun! Basically, our club books an Ian Luff day each year, catered specifically for our club and other like minded clubs to get out on the skid pan and learn a few pointers about car control. Why Stage 1.5? Because this is a car club orientated day, the Luff crew throw in some stage 2 cloverleaf, slalom and skid pan to go with the stage 1 stuff. Details on the Altezza Club forums, including how to join in, here: http://forum.altezzaclub.org.au/index.php?...p?showtopic=760 Here's some testimonials from the last one we did last year (and some tasty pics to salivate over.) note the lack of Skylines.... we would like to see some NISSAN POWA on display this year! http://forum.altezzaclub.org.au/index.php?...wtopic=73&st=40 PM me for more info, or post to this thread. Please, firm commitments only, and only a deposit will secure your spot! Cost is $250.00 for the day, with a catered lunch included! Cheers, Matt
