let Stinky in he is a top bloke and one of the nicest stagea owners ive met (well ex stagea owner now)

Mitchy is also a good mate and definately should be welcome, he attends all the stagea cruises and gives fellow stagea owners free power steering brackets haha :)

Its not like these 2 people are random sau users who jumped on the stagea section when they heard the AHG track day was being organised.

im sure i could get a few variety of cars to come down also if u need any more so its not a stagea/skyline fest lol :laughing-smiley-014:

Guys do you really want a guy known as "Stinky Rooster" hanging around us? :P

*sigh* Your in Dale!!!! Get that DOOF DOOF music ready :P

Wooo Hooooooooo! :/

payment will be sent today!!

*prepares to unleash Pulsar Fury!*

w00t I hef been upgraded to Standby status! heh cheers Brad :P

Dale, you suck. What's with the Pulsar?!

hey hey, don't be a hater now Lyle :/

nuthin wrong with teh pulsar - it might even embarrass a few "boat" owners!

good to see we got that all sorted ! make love not war etc etc ..

I must admit I am a bit disappointed that more Stagea drivers couldnt make it .. as it would have been really interesting to see how the different setups handled. Ie - Jippa has coil overs so he SHOULD out perform the rest.. bit fingers crossed that we might have a few additions to the car by then !

oh and PAYMENT MADE !!!

she cant chicken out now!

I am still keen to do this, BUT.... I am still not sure what form of event this even is.....

It seems clear that we aren't going to use the track. It also seems clear that we aren't going to utilise the skidpan as a skid pan.

So what are we going to use it for?

I would like to get an idea of what we will be covering.... defensive driving, performance driving, skids how to get out of them, braking etc etc.

Is part of the day in the classroom, if so how long?

This is what I meant earlier by an agenda.

I would like to be able to get more info so that I can make an informed decision of whether it is going to be of value.

I asked in my last post for payment details to be PM'd to me..... didn't arive.

Thanks

I got the payment details if you need them ( ie can PM them to you )

and I can tell you a bit about this as I have done one before

but R dirty 3 would probably be far more capable of explaining it in a better manner

I have attached the official flyer for the event. It has all the infomation about the event. It is outdated a bit in the pricing, this event is now $1070 to run. (just letting you all know so there is not confusions etc.)

Yes there is a class type briefing. When we get there all drivers will be taken to a room and briefed on what is expected, what they will teach you etc etc. Takes ten minutes.

Appealing, it is completely upto you if you want to be a part of this event or not. I have not sent you payment details, because you have not PM'd me to say you want to join in on this event. I only give the details to those who are confirmed entrants. I feel it may be best if you do not enter this event, but come out and have a look at how the event runs/operates etc. I have a feeling that you may get upset if it is not what you wanted and i understand that completely, you should be as fully informed as you can be that this is the sort of training you want/need. I also suspect that the level of training you want, you may be better signing up for the next "noLimitEvents" 1 on 1 driver training. (4-5 hours of 1 on 1 training with your own personal instructor at Wanneroo in your own car), or even Trackskill commodore training? Now, while these are fantastic ways to learn to drive correctly, you will pay at least $650+.

Just my thoughts. If i can help any further, let me know.

Cheers

Brad

Im still keen to enter this, my only question is if i pay the entry fee and my car isnt ready in time is there a list if people interested to enter and take my spot? I cant get another car to use (wife wont let me use her R34 :D ) and none of my freinds trust me :)

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
