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.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      So, how do you feel about the Frenchys surge tank setup @Duncan? Have you had a chance to try it out more? The sketchy wiring in my fuel pump setup has decided to melt and die and I'm looking for a solid replacement now. My fuel hat is toast so the Frenchys kits providing it all look promising.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
