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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo

      Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
