ive just booked out a tuning arvo at ahg, has anyone else done one of these? i cant seem to get much info from ahg

what can i expect, do they just let you get out there and drive or is it more like a driver training?

any info would be great so me and my mates get the most out of it

Cheers

The Tuning event is usually on there little circuit and does not include any driver training or instructors, but they will keep an eye on you to make sure that you don't do silly things. They are a good event to do once you have recieved some driver training, but I'm sure you'll have fun regardless. Whilst the track looks really simply, there are a few interesting technicalities.

Well had the track day yesterday and all i can say is im booking another one on monday, :(

Weather was crap but had soo much fun, they are changing the tuning arvo slightly so that there is a little more driver training involved, seating and hand position, race lines and just answering general questions.

We got to use the the main track, 2 or 3 laps then swap over. And we also got to have a go at the skid pan which showed us all how bad we really are at driving in the wet lol, with 10 people there wasn't much waiting in line to get on either of the tracks.

Would highly recommend it to anyone. :P

the guy we had was awsome, said drive within your abilities. He let us have some fun but also helped us get better as the day went on. the only thing he said was no hand brake drifts and if you spin out dont just keep spinning your tyres, one guy got banned from the track at the end for doing a burnout.

hey, we had the tuning day on the thursday and it was p*sing down. it showed up every little handling fault and driver fault. although it was good fun bouncing on the limiter in 3rd gear. they told my work mate to leave after his exhaust fell off his bridge ported RX6. apparently it was all the ladies in the office could hear lol

Glad to hear that there is some additional input from the instructors, as they have alot of valuable information to impart :D

Yep, they are great fun :down:

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
