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.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
