I was thinking of something in late September for the SAU day(17th or 24th)

I'm probably going 2 or 3 times before then for various reasons (B-day, Public Day, and maybe again if the funds let me :D ) thinking about the other trainers aswell, see what there like. I know Eastern Creek skid pan is slightly, a whole lot better, but sounds like you pay for it

Any way give us some feed back on those dates, and for those who are coming to the public session on the 20th, you'll probably come again :P

Yeh, i'm in.

I got 3 others definately in but were aiming for the public session on the 20th. If we change dates i'll need to re-confirm with those guys but soon seems to be better for us with other events such as a wakefield day and drift day are planned towards october/november.

Anyways, the september session goes ahead, i might have a group of 5-6, but definately not 8!

Best thing is payment or deposits, Derek has sent me a e-mail saying he might be able to organise group discounts(minimun of 8 participants).

P.S. i've posted on the R31skylineclub site about this(the new date).

Well i just got back from completing my defensive driver course with Dereck today. He's an awesome bloke and knows his shit. we got onto the skid pan to test our cars ability, and since there was only me and my mate on the course, he gave us a quick skid pan lesson as well. well worth the money i think. we did brake tests and swerve reaction tests, as well as some basic driving techniques to just make our driving that little bit safer.

i would like to join in on the 20th but i can't afford it right now. might be up for the september session though.

I would love to come on the 20th and its 125 right? Ive always wanted to learn how to drift so would this be the best way to start? just simple things as well like keeping control of the car in the wet would be good to learn as well....

One thing though Im still on my Ps is that ok?

Yeah no problems at all! I am on my P's also (I have such a love hate relationship with myself..... but dont get me wrong I dont really ever love myself :) ..... I am a P plater and I don't really like P plater drivers....I think the stereo type that we are bad drivers even rubs off onto ourselves)

Oh and yes, yes I shall be there on the 20th.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
