but in the end, i'm only 19 with very little spirited driving experience, now b4 ny1 goes flaming me, i'm already booked for the next 2 track days

age is no deciding factor. i've only just turned 20 and i'm a far superior driver than my father (who is quite good) it all comes down to natural talent as well.

come for a drive with me one day and i'll demonstrate what i mean :laugh:

Im not sure. I was told it disabled other things as well.

who ever told u that, dont know what they're talking about

my point is.. if someone else is a better driver.. accept it, don't make excuses just accept it and listen to them!

you'll be far better off for it.

i like to listen, u get far more help than if you act like you know everything!

thats very true. thats what i wanted to say. i would like to meet some of these people some day, i feel my friends just arent real drivers. dont get me wrong, they can drive pretty well, but they're just.......hoons.

there's an idea karen. maybe we could have a SAU driver training day. maybe go to a skidpan with a few of the expert drivers in SAU and teach some of the less experienced drivers advanced techniques to help better drive their car?

how does that sound?

too bad theres no where we can go legally mike. i mean SAU use to have training days at the mt cotton training centre, until it was closed to us :laugh:

The skidpan at Willowbank is not a dedicated skidpan or so I've been told.

The closest facility like Mt Cotton is Gympie :laugh:

Mt Cotton/SDT has a lot of legalities to deal with eg residents, councils, legislation etc, so its easier for us NOT to lose over $1000 if we get ejected from the course due to someones perception, by simply not holding skidpan days :P

yeah i know, but who would pay 1mil for a race car. for that price you could order some very fast road cars that would more than likely keep up with or beat that. doesnt make sense?

True...

Honestly though if you had a million to spend, you could probably afford to stretch to 1.4 million....and buy a Zonda :D

At least then you would get new car smells :(

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
