I had some mates in another car club do the Jim Murcott advanced driving course (not defensive driving course - that is a different one where they teach u to stop without skidding etc etc).

It was held at Sandown race course and they learnt racing stuff like heel and toeing (some of u guys already know it but anyway) and they analyse your driving style and tell you how to improve it and then time your lap once again to see if your new techniques have improved lap times. Looks fun, though some poor guy smashed his 200sx front bar into a barrier.

just my 2c

I was a senior instructor at murcotts from 1991-2002.

there is another driving school (which uses a racing car drivers name) that had an instructor crash an s15 at philip island, they told the poor guy that owns the car that they will NOT pay for the damage. Fair bit of damage too !!!

thats so wrong....

i wouldnt let the instructor drive my car anyway...do u have too? is that part of it?

no you dont have to !!

often students will learn quicker by watching, but...instructor doesn't need to drive your car at 10/10, you can show the same thing at 7/10. as for crashing a students car, the so called instructor should be shot. Guys like that just give the industry a bad name.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
