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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
