Defensive Driving Courses Near The Gold Coast?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Just wondering where the best place to go is for a defensive driving course on the gold coast?

I would prefer to take my car out there.

Also looking at taking the car to a skid pan,

Anyone know if there is a day coming up? or if there is a good place that will teach you?

Cheers,

Jaylon

SAU QLD has 2 skidpan days coming up in October and November, plenty of people there to teach you, a qualified instructor and many members who are old hands, these days are at gympie though, and you appear to want to stay local

Mt Cotton use to be a good option but last time I checked, which admittedly was a while ago, the moaning idiots who moved in nearby then whinged about the noise had succeeded in making it all but unusable. I hope that things have improved, but if not, I wouldn't consider it an option unfortunately.

I don't know what it's like but the Holden driver training centre is southside isn't it? Also, I think there might be training days held at Willowbank. I'm just going off memory but a quick Google search should give you more info on both. Yes I was too lazy to do it myself lol.

Failing that, as Andy says your next best bet is Gympie. It's a bit of a hike but we have guys who come up from the gold coast for these days, it really is worth the trip.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
