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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
