Hey all,

Just a quick note to say how stoked I was at attending the Advanced Driver Training at Eastern Creek today :thumbsup: . Myself and the little miss headed out today after our investment of $270 each for the day. All up I would say its the best day out I have ever had in my car. Very educational, and a load of fun. Heaps of sliding, understeer, oversteer and practical advice on emegency braking and accident avoidance. Well recommended to anyone! The instructors are very much car enthusiasts rather than old fart driving instructor types too.

End spiel.

Vidospace.

PS what else I learned? My wifes car (crx) handles 100% better than my skyline :-(

Ahh I saw the silver 34 on ths skidpan, so I guess that was you. Looked like the silvia was having fun too!

Its a great way to spend a day gettting the hang of how the car reacts in bad conditions. BTW don't worry too much about the handling, the crx is a pretty good car but the skyline will be much better in normal (ie not super slippery) conditions.

Did you have to do the stage 1 bit 1st? Who was it through?

I'm looking to do one of these 3 stage courses some time. Sounds like something definately would like to do :P

You dont have to do the 1st stage, though they refer a bit to it in the pre-driving bit. If you have been driving for years and are confident with your car you should be fine to go straight to stage 2 like me. After stage 2 they also have a drift training course you can do, or track day training, which is what I am doing next.

Oh and its through the eastern creek driver training school. Just check the eastern creek website.

I better go to this no kidding. You don't need that license thing to go do this training course do ya? Or is it included in the $270?

You mean a cams licence? i doubt it. I think you need to be doing certain speed or something for that to apply.

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
