All,

I have mentioned a couple of times that I would look into getting something organised about improving our driving and racing. I have identified 2 possible people who could do this for us.

Peter Finlay or Ian Luff and both operate out at Oran Park.

Peter has sent me out an information pack and I will post the info when I get it.

Ian Luff has given me a list of events.

Stage 1: Smartdrive, Basic driving skills with braking, steering, emergency stopping etc.

Stage 2: Advance Car, This is done on the skid pan and involves all wet weather work.

Stage 3: Performance driving, High speed work, cornering, race lines etc.

Cost.

Stage 1: $236 Mid week, $258 Saturday

Stage 2: $247 Mid week,

Stage 3: $302 Mid week.

Packages: Stages 1 & 2 $462, Stages 1 & 3 $495

All courses are 1 Day, out at Oran Park.

If you want to get your CAM's License you need to do stages 1 & 3.

I want to know who is interested, and what you are interested in, we can book exclusive days, or take a whole day just for our selves, or get a group discount. They can tailor a course just for us maybe compress 2 days into 1.

Personally I would like to do the stage 3 course only, but I want my CAM's so I may have to do stage 1 as well.

Post up your interest and I will see what I can do with the price and or getting our selves a sole Skyline day.

I am definitely interested in doing this. I have already done the skidpan day, so I would be only interested in 1 and 3 - but the skidpan was hell fun, so I'm always up for some more of that action. :cheers:

yep, we did this in August 2002, about 12 of us, its was great :)

no seriously guys, this thread is from 2002....

Perhaps start a thread in NSW, training like this is super valuable and a great idea, Brendan organised the last course with Aaron McGill in November last year so it must be time for another one :mad:

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
