Opportunity to get some track time and driver training. Looks good and I will be in this one.

Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect, otherwise might develop bad lines and bad driving habits.

Check it out.

do you get to hit the track or have to listen to him gibber

I got a bit peeved with him gibbering in my ear so i turfed him and put Warren in the passenger seat and not only did my lap times improve but my headache went.

i am interested but it looks to me like its for guys who can actually drive to start with

it seems like its a race driver training/practice day rather than a general driving course. i have only done one defensive driving course before and also been on skidpan and wakefield but it seems like its only for the experts..

does anyone know if this is the case?? or is it open to beginners as well? any prerequisites?

I will be going if that counts for anything!

hahaha... i wouldn't let him in the car with me after seeing what he did to that 4wd

No pre requisites and I am sure will cater for all types of cars and drivers other than those with think their cup is full. He he.

Ian Luff will be part of the day and he is in high demand and one of Australia's leading driver training specialist and a great team. I like his blunt dry humour but some softies get offended I guess. Plus I would rather be told what to do and why I am doing wrong, rather than have someone agree with something wrong.

There will be plenty of track time and those who go will sure to improve their performance a lot. I have been going to Oran Park scince 1984 and been around it many times but always willing to listen to someone indepentant and with more experience and techniques.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
