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:

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
