*cough* *cough* - ahh hmm -  Actually, the next skid pan day is on the 12th of December:

actually im talking about the post that says "Drift Day 13th December" which is a saturday? is there a difference here? (ill send this PM for ya 2 incase ya dont c it)

Dale, I was coughing at Majanal - not you - because Maj should know that the next SAU skidpan day is the 12th (cause he is the SAU events co-ordinator :bonk: - there is one on the 13th too !

The one on the 12th is part of Advanced Driver training and is Instructor Led - 4 hours - about 12 cars

The one on the 13th has been organised by an SAU Forum member (Oz GTR97V) there will be instructors there on the day , i believe - but is not instructor let - approx 50 cars or so - 8 hours.

Either would be good value - You would learn lots !

Aight thanks for clearing that up mate!

Which do you think would benefit me most? I'm gona be in a BMW 318i RWD 1.9L unmodded and i currently have my Ps and havent driven on any skid pans before and dont know how to drift etc?

They are both approx the same cost so whichever would be better so i dont get in peoples way etc etc :D

I'd say the driver training day will be more structured and have closer feedback. You'd do well to do that and also do Aaron's stage 1 day at a later date - I've been driving for ~5-6 years and I still got a lot out of stage 1. But either day will give you the opportunity to get out and see what your car does.

Hi,

I went on a driving course recently to help me get the most of of my 200SX (S15). It was great, some parts of it were for 'P Platers' with wet weather skills..etc for inexperienced drivers but it let me push my car to the max on the Oran Park track, swing the tail out and learn how to bring it back in in a safe area, better cornering skills and Apex and best turning methods...also how to handle high speed driving!

Great course, took 1 day and was $275.

Take a look @ : http://www.finlays.com.au/pages/carcontrol.html

The Instructor used to be in car racing but he's a bid of a 'Dad' and shakes your head when you take off real quick..etc but he's very smart and instructors get into your car, watch you drive and give you tips and then take your car for a drive while you are in the passenger seat and show you how you should do things...very good!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
