Recommended Posts

:headspin:

Time : Late april, or may. Sunday.

Cost : TBA, under $200 (probably $170)

Venue : Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Availability : 16 spots.

Requirements : Current Open or Provisional licence, rego'ed and roadworthy car - no rusty shitboxes or super dodgy stuff.

What you get : Professional instructors helping you go fast and do big dirty slides. They are all hoons/racers. Safe legal environment in which you can go completely nuts. You WILL be a better driver after one of these days. Some of us have done 5 already. Buffet lunch.

Event.....

There are 3 sessions on the day.

1. Half day skidpan. Most people know the drill now, small track with water and diesel on it. Nothing to hit really, unless you close your eyes and drive into the other person on the track. Bugger all tyre wear. Develops slide control, being smooth, confidence and its just heaps of fun. Time trials at the end as well :(

2. Lunch. Good food, all paying participants get to sit down and have a feed of salads sandwiches meaty goods etc. It was a lot better than i thought it would be actually. (done it before)

3. LVMA (Large Vehicle Manouvering Area) Big flat square shaped area with slalom, brake test, and a track set out on it with cones. Wet and dry brake testing (teaches you how to pull up as quick as possible instead of just locking up and running into things). Slalom, with a bit of a difference as well. Cone track - the chance to go all out against the clock, and because its set out with cones, you can really go all out :)

For a bit of fun we are probably going to keep records of all times, skidpan, slalom, and lvma track, and have trophies for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Nothing serious, just for fun. Sponsor should be providing them so why not.

I need solid interest here guys.

so far.....

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
