I have done the AAMI one before in my old Datto c210.

I am aware that i cant drop the clutch and hold on.

Thats why i asked if anyone new of anything else that I/ We can go to?

I did a course with John Bowe Institute of Driving. They do everything really, I did a racing and skid control course. Taught me how to get more out of lap times and handle the car in a skid. They do a range of courses and its basically doing laps of Malalla with a professional driver (I had a V8 Supercar driver with me) and they instruct you on your technique. Then you compare your times, but they also do a advanced driving course at Malalla too which is the same but less focus on car position and more on control.

I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to learn their car in a safe environment (Advanced Driving Course) or likes to learn to shave seconds off lap times (High Performance).

Courses are expensive (like $200-300) but you get group discounts, you dont need a CAMS licence and its the only time your allowed an instructor in the car. You get lunch, drinks, breakfast, etc and the pretty much as much track time as you can handle.

Im starting to sound like I work for them but its well worth it I recommend it to everyone.

Just taken off the website:

(High Performance Course)

You will learn the correct lines for high speed cornering.

How to make faster and smoother gear changes - both up and down.

Not to 'overdrive' and its relationship to lap times.

How to make a circuit flow by correct use of vision to link corners.

Skid control techniques and myths.

How to get the most out of your car.

It says you need to have done other courses, but I didnt before I went to this one, it's not required.

If anyone is keen, feel free to PM me I'll be going in March regardless would be nice to see some Skylines out there instead of Elises, Porsches, V8's, 350z's and S15's :laugh:

Definantely interested in this.

$200 - $300 for a course that could one day save your life isn't that bad really. I want to get an EBC for my car but I'll hold off for this if necessary.

Been meaning to do one so now's the time.

I went with 10 and got it for $265 instead of the $350+

Says on his website that the performance course requires the completion of the drive to survive course before commencement.

Still it would be interesting to go out and have a look

Like I said, I never did drive to survive before I did this. I'd recommend the Advanced course before the High Performance though.

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
