Hey all,

Just a quick note to say how stoked I was at attending the Advanced Driver Training at Eastern Creek today :thumbsup: . Myself and the little miss headed out today after our investment of $270 each for the day. All up I would say its the best day out I have ever had in my car. Very educational, and a load of fun. Heaps of sliding, understeer, oversteer and practical advice on emegency braking and accident avoidance. Well recommended to anyone! The instructors are very much car enthusiasts rather than old fart driving instructor types too.

End spiel.

Vidospace.

PS what else I learned? My wifes car (crx) handles 100% better than my skyline :-(

Ahh I saw the silver 34 on ths skidpan, so I guess that was you. Looked like the silvia was having fun too!

Its a great way to spend a day gettting the hang of how the car reacts in bad conditions. BTW don't worry too much about the handling, the crx is a pretty good car but the skyline will be much better in normal (ie not super slippery) conditions.

Did you have to do the stage 1 bit 1st? Who was it through?

I'm looking to do one of these 3 stage courses some time. Sounds like something definately would like to do :P

You dont have to do the 1st stage, though they refer a bit to it in the pre-driving bit. If you have been driving for years and are confident with your car you should be fine to go straight to stage 2 like me. After stage 2 they also have a drift training course you can do, or track day training, which is what I am doing next.

Oh and its through the eastern creek driver training school. Just check the eastern creek website.

I better go to this no kidding. You don't need that license thing to go do this training course do ya? Or is it included in the $270?

You mean a cams licence? i doubt it. I think you need to be doing certain speed or something for that to apply.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTR_JOEY · Posted

      I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Have you got a link to the ones you purchased?   Thanks for the replies fellas.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.

      100% hear you. I won't defend them but I will defend my ability to work twice as hard to keep them running. 🤣
