just want to know, would u have to drive ur own car or is a test car suppled?

also what do u get out of it? eg like certificate's?, more demerit points on ur licence?, cheaper car insurance? etc..

cheers

bill

you have to drive your own car i believe

what you get out of it is basically you learn how to control and drive your car in a way that you have total control of it (i believe thats more or less the goal for the day)

as for demerit points and cheaper car insurance, dont think that is the case

Saturday is going to be 35 :D

anything to specifically look at/check/take care of with the car before going through a whole driving day in that heat?

Advanced Driving Course is not very hard on your car, just a normal check over is fine.

Typical Melbourne - wouldnt worry about the heat anymore

Have fun tomorrow guys - im sure itll be a blast :huh:

wet track, should be fun :D

are we cruising to this thing, or we just making our own ways there?

EDIT: i just rang Shannons, shannonites should be getting full cover for the day! As it's not time trial related, not CAMS related, doesn't require special license, qualified instructors will be there and it's purely about increasing ones skills in relation to controlling a car.

Pg.30 of some booklet shannon's people will find the info

cheers :D

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
