Don't race it uses more petrol, and the cost of that will soon out weigh the fine anyway!

But yeah, your age, most places want you to do a defensive driving course before an advanced (which teaches you skidcontrol) I'd strongly suggest you do both. Can help reduce your insureance as well in some cases, also looks good on your resume.

If your tyres are speed rated to 140kmh... I dare say they aren't very good, I'd be saving up for some new ones that might be a little better.

As everyones been saying, head out to willowbank, just get out there early to maximise your runs. Its $36 and includes a passenger. So 3 times heading out there is the cost of 3 speeding fines???

I thought people only double clutched in old cars and in new cars its just pointless.

i dare you to try and drive my car without double clutching and rev matching on the down shifts......

If you like Drifting too I would be more then happy to show you things I have leaned, and chuck you around in the passanger seat.

can i take u up on that offer 2 please. lol

I'm a P plater

i am 2 mate, the difference between us is the law isn't retrospective, i drive turbo'd model,

i'v raced 1 person and i won't do it again, it scared the shit out of me personally, r

it's just not worth it bud, forget it.

$3,500 a year for normal insurance with Just Car

also how old are u exactly, they wanted 2 charge me $3000 for a 95 turbo'd model,

i dropped my premium (bad spelling) by increasing my excesses, so i got the premium down to $1500 upfront.

pls do yourself and every1 around u a favour, get full comprehensive insurance.

Damn you guys get ripped on insurance these days!! Full comp on my old 33 (turbo, exhaust but otherwise stock at the time) cost me $750 or so from memory, when I was 20. That was a while ago though *cry*

stop racing commodore drivers before you have an accident ;)

Hey Beau, I can I take you up on that one day? :)

Ofcourse , I love showing off , just have to be wearing the right stuff and come up and say hello at QR or Archy (no pass at parklands)

Beau it'd be great if you could show me how to drift. I was thinking of taking my car drifting and stuff but i know nothing about it and i don't want to damage my car. Also what is the skidpan? How much does it cost to take your car to these places?

Skidpan is a barricaded carpark that is watersprayed at QR drift nights , to teach new drifters car control in a car and person safe environment for $50

look in events section for the next meeting

And as above just come and see me at the track and I will be more then happy to take you out on the big track , my name is on the car it's a dark blue R32 skyline 4 door with a 34 front end blue tacked to the front!

Beau

    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
    • Pretty stout result. How much boost? Anything left in it?
    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game 
    • SAMSONAS      Just saying      U know and we know U wanna     Just a matter of time....
    • This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
