I have done the AAMI one before in my old Datto c210.

I am aware that i cant drop the clutch and hold on.

Thats why i asked if anyone new of anything else that I/ We can go to?

I did a course with John Bowe Institute of Driving. They do everything really, I did a racing and skid control course. Taught me how to get more out of lap times and handle the car in a skid. They do a range of courses and its basically doing laps of Malalla with a professional driver (I had a V8 Supercar driver with me) and they instruct you on your technique. Then you compare your times, but they also do a advanced driving course at Malalla too which is the same but less focus on car position and more on control.

I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to learn their car in a safe environment (Advanced Driving Course) or likes to learn to shave seconds off lap times (High Performance).

Courses are expensive (like $200-300) but you get group discounts, you dont need a CAMS licence and its the only time your allowed an instructor in the car. You get lunch, drinks, breakfast, etc and the pretty much as much track time as you can handle.

Im starting to sound like I work for them but its well worth it I recommend it to everyone.

Just taken off the website:

(High Performance Course)

You will learn the correct lines for high speed cornering.

How to make faster and smoother gear changes - both up and down.

Not to 'overdrive' and its relationship to lap times.

How to make a circuit flow by correct use of vision to link corners.

Skid control techniques and myths.

How to get the most out of your car.

It says you need to have done other courses, but I didnt before I went to this one, it's not required.

If anyone is keen, feel free to PM me I'll be going in March regardless would be nice to see some Skylines out there instead of Elises, Porsches, V8's, 350z's and S15's :laugh:

Definantely interested in this.

$200 - $300 for a course that could one day save your life isn't that bad really. I want to get an EBC for my car but I'll hold off for this if necessary.

Been meaning to do one so now's the time.

I went with 10 and got it for $265 instead of the $350+

Says on his website that the performance course requires the completion of the drive to survive course before commencement.

Still it would be interesting to go out and have a look

Like I said, I never did drive to survive before I did this. I'd recommend the Advanced course before the High Performance though.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      By Red Sky II · Posted

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
