Recommended Posts

Skylines Australia Victoria is proudly sponsored by Driver Dynamics and has had an ongoing relationship for years now.

DD is heading over to SA to do some promotion of road safety and run some courses. I thought that some of you might be interested in this Advanced Driving course:

Super Special Discounted Advanced Car Control Course

Saturday 15th September 2012 at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park

Driver Dynamics will be hosting a specially discounted Advanced Car Control Course at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park on Saturday 15th September 2012 .

This course is suited to all drivers and is focused on raising the drivers awareness of vehicle dynamics and advanced vehicle control skills.

The format is very much ‘hands on’, with the emphasis on practical driving exercises including, highway-speed emergency braking, wet corner emergency braking, emergency lane changing, multiple direction changes, vehicle stability, understeer and oversteer exercises, etc.

The nature of this course will allow the participants the opportunity to explore ‘high end’ vehicle control skills at the critical limit.

Regardless of your previous driving experience you will learn lots on this program !

The theory component of this course includes an in depth analysis of advanced vehicle dynamics including the introduction and understanding of the Traction Circle.

This course will be conducted by full-time professional, qualified advanced driving instructors and will be lead by Driver Dynamics CEO Kevin Flynn.

This is a full day course starting at 9am and concluding at 4.00pm.

Note that this is not a trackday, there is no circuit lapping.

You don’t need a helmet or any special modifications to your car.

No spectators are permitted and will be refused entry.

Normally drivers would expect to pay $315 for this course, but we’re offering this date for only $199.00 per driver.

No further discounts will apply to this course

Positions for this course are limited, so if you’d like to attend please call 1300 652 693 to book.

If anyone else is keen, I'll give the place a call and book it - will need to know numbers asap - can anyone interested in this pls PM me by the 7th of June and I'll see what I can arrange.....

For a day like this would it be best to run in rwd?

I guess it depends on the end goal? Ie if you disable awd to drift or motokhana then I'd imagine that its best to get taught with the same setup?

That said, it'd be cool to do the same course with the same car in rwd and then awd... would really give you some idea of what the awd does...

having awd will make it a little hard to practice what they want to achieve with oversteer

also agree would be very beneficial to complete in both awd mode and rwd

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet. These guys are the ones to go to: https://www.realthermo.com.au/  
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
