haha i reckon that little accel/brake card is pretty accurate.

Kev said it takes about 1.5seconds to react. To see what happened, move foot off accell to brake and then press down. Thats roughly 25mtrs at 60km/h

Car coming towards me on opposite lane decided to turn infront of me (into a street) with no indicator. Moving my foot to the brake and saying a few words.

No where near the same reaction time as in driver training. As our ears were locked on hearing a whistle and foot already on brake pedal :bunny:

Now we want more pics :P

yep, big thanks to Kevin, Jeff, and helpers for making the day run sooo friggen smooth... too bad my driving on the skid pan wasn't the same! ;)

I know i speak for all those at the event, that kev's skills on the skid pan were just down right stupidly cool! S13, R33, R34, R32, and evo a friggen Evo 8 MR! perfect drifting circles! Although, the Evo didn't want to comply with as much "angle" as the RWD cars... just to get that thing to step out a touch, and to hold it... :eek:

i think i need more initial speed next time, despite the fact i nearly spat myself out of the skid pan :P

Adz how the hell did you hit the cones on the quick right-left manuver (the one b4 you did the skid pan).

In my fully loaded AU ute i hit 0 cones at 60km/h (first run), Jeff was amazed; barely clipped 1 at 65km/h; and 0 at 60km/h. This was in a car that requires at least twice the stoping distance :P

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
