Who is keen.

I am very keen after having my accident.

I would rather spin out and hit a cone then hit an enbankment again. Alot cheaper in my mind.

I also want to feel what my car can do in the right environment.

Who is keen on a safe and controlled environment to see what their cars are capable of doing?

If I get enough interest i will look into it further.

All i know of is the AAMI driver awarness course thing out at AAMI stadium.

Does anyone else know of other driver training courses in SA.

I'd be keen

I would prefer a day at Malalar with plenty of practice time (not all theory).

I believe Manta Racing can arrange this with a pro driver (can't remember who) if we can get sufficient numbers.

For those contemplating this it would be worth budgeting for new brake pads (unless changed recently) new fluids (brake, and engine/trans oils) as well as a wheel allignment prior to the track day.

very keen

from memory i have seen similar thread at least a few times in the past.

Everytime, we have a lot of people express their interest but can't make it at the end for various reasons

so please ask for a deposit before organise anything to avoid disappointment

As Maxx said.

I have seen a few other threads like this and have noticed that ppl say they are keen but don't pull through in the end.

I will continue my research in the matter and once i have finer details I will post them up.

And yes a deposit will be needed so I can lock in numbers.

As 4door_Sleeper said.

New brake pads will be a must. Coolant/ oils well i change mine too often. LOL well I did when my car was on the road. 3months baby :(.

I will talk to Clem out at Mallala when I go there for the G1 drift comp on the 17th.

I will also look into this Manta Racing company.

Oh and who is the Stig. LOL, Who claims they are the bomb of driving??????????

For some reason I am Looking at you Joel (cubes) :woot:

I think if u are with Shannons they will either give a discount of full refund of the cost of the course (they do with bike rider safe training) as they deem it to be a benefit to you not having any accidents...

Cubes aint a racer....let him take out the baby seat in the rear of the car :woot:

I 'd be interested too... maybe we should all just join the evo club track day in march and have a thrash round mallala... of course there is no instruction involved... I don't think so anyway!

OK AAMI Dkilled Drivers course is out of the question.

Under 25's only or some crap like that.

I think a track day out at Mallala will be the only way to do this.

I wish Port Gawler was still open. Or AIR.

More research needed.

Oh and who is the Stig. LOL, Who claims they are the bomb of driving??????????

For some reason I am Looking at you Joel (cubes) :woot:

haha how cool would it be to have a control car and everyone gets 3 laps to determine.... the stig of adelaide :(

oh well we can dream

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
