Im with you guys on the Driver Training course - it should be compulsary.

If a group one gets planned I'll be in it for sure.

However, it doesn't matter how good a driver you are, chances are you'll have a hoon crash into you. That's the sad part :D

Oi, btw, stop attacking commodore drivers... *cough*i drive a commodore *cough* :D

One of the best ones is the BMW driver training course.They do it here now & again, but the main one is interstate.I will be doing the full 3 day course after I get the M3. You get to drift around in M3s & other beemers & all sorts off people take these courses - not just BMW owners.It is not cheap though.

Remember, doing a course yourself does not stop some other pinhead crashing into you. Which reminds me there is a big cruise

supposedly on tonight meeting at 8.30pm at Goodwood Rd & crossroads cnr car park.Will be a mix of V8s rotors 4s 6s etc.

Hmm, interesting all the attacks on commodore drivers - perhaps it has something to do with the V8 supercar series - lots of cars that hardly resemble the version on the road, except for similar body panels. Makes the young fellas think they are driving a car that performs well beyond its capabilities???? Food for thought.

It would be good to do something like the BMW course - would be worth saving for, anybody got any idea when the next one over this way will be? Or if there is anything similar?

I'd rather do a course in my own car .... so I can particularly figure out the nuances in handling and stopping (with professional advice). But the BMW course would be way cool anyhow!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
