Hey inthisglass, where do i go and learn? i'm from melb

Consider joining the club for a start....

Also check http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/20...en-t198251.html

Check the events section of the Vic forum on here.

DriverDynamics runs some great events where you can learn your car under instruction, there not too expensive.

I'd highly recommend there advanced driving course...(I've done the level 2 version only).

Oh, and most importantly you must learn the search...there's a lot of info on these forums.

Regards,

Gareth

well im from W.A so we have an AHG driving centre that teaches defensive and performance driving

not sure about melbourne but im sure if you rang up your local licencing center they would let you know about any places that do that sort of thing

also ask in your state section on the forums as the people there would have the info you need.

Hey Gaval and welcome to owning a high performance RWD car. They are loads of fun but definitely something to understand and appreciate before you start driving it (in my opinion). I would strongly strongly recommend sending a PM to this fella http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/m3810.html (Kev) who is probably the most famous driver training dude for the public in Australia :(. He runs a variety of events, in particular a skid pan, which he can show in practice the theoretics of driving RWD cars. All the best.

Well, tis the first time i've driven a RWD :ermm: so i'm still learning plus i know noting about cars..hehe

My best advice is: Until you can push the limits of your car in a SAFE environment, take it easy! By safe i mean on a skidpan day, track day, advanced driver training day etc.

If you are baffled about the reason for oversteer in the wet then you desperately need some training and experience before you can use that car without killing yourself or someone else.

All the best with it mate and welcome to SAU.

When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
