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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
