SAU-NSW Advanced Driver Training (Great Deal) Nov 12/ Dec 12/ Jan 23


Recommended Posts

At least i was the only one to be eliminated i won that competition.  

Great day hope i can make it to stage 3 that will be excellent.

Did you find your way back dale ?

Hope mark is ok

After the tolls I took the Macqurie Uni turnoff, pity I didn't have a CB otherwise I would have let you know. Thanks for leading me back to familiar territory.

Was it just me, or did everyone who attended feel strange taking corners on the way home without drifting around them?

The afternoon session was just as good. Aaron took a liking to my car as did the guy in the red MR2 - he was a top bloke, jump in with me and taught me how to be a better driver.

Thanks Ken! That was the first time i've been in a GTR, from where I was sitting in the passenger seat they are bloody hard to get sideways - same goes for the BMW.

Brendan - you've heard this from me before, but your drifting on the first course we did was all class!

gtst4 - I dont understand how you got sideways so easily when you were in awd mode. Does the R33 GTR have a more advanced system?

Jason? - It was hard to tell yours and gtst4's cars apart. Did you end up figuring out why your car spun in a circle every time you turned a corner?

XEQUTOR - Have you got your rain jacket back yet? It was quite a lot in the afternoon session after you guys left.

When can we purchase video footage of the day?

i gota get a skyline :) mayb mite get an r32 gts4 like daniel :) i love it hehe

Hey mark all i did was drop the clutch

I think the 33 is a different system but not 100% sure

Dale get yourself a GTS4 cheapest alternative to a gtr

Maybe even a r33 gts4 as it is n/a you might have a better chance gettin it and cheaper on insurance.

Anyone get any pics yet?

What a flaming good day!!!!!!!!!

I watched the video i got when i got home, theres over an hour of the stuff!!!!

Cant wait for the next skidpan day. Drifting it felt awesome! Hope it looked good where you guys were!!!!

Did anyone get photos or vid footage of the victory burnout with my arm out the window??

brendan: I didnt really chop yas all, it was still very close which was awesome fun! I love pressure! hahahaha

Mark: Havent seen the raincoat as of yet, did it get worse in the arvo??? Any of the arvo newcomers ask anything bout where he got it?? hahahahaha

Dale: If you can get it onto a cd for me i will get the guys onto editing it.

WHAT WOULD PPL PREFER??

A DVD of just their car for the duration or an edited everyone cutting sick version??

i guess you have to spin out to learn :) and it was better to do it on skidpan than the road :)

but drift knowledge sure makes pizza delivery more fun if its raining :D

    • My first thought is run hardlines, but running a soft pipe is easier and quicker, though normally more exxy...
    • It sounds like the perfect time to do easier tasks like, work out how to pull the headlights fully apart, clean them inside and out, and make them meticulous... Or lose all the clips, f**k up polishing the lenses, and get frustrated with that job while you can't do bigger more fun ones and wind up with no usable headlights...   I mean... What?! 😛
    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lipomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, more time to contemplate rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
