Don't race it uses more petrol, and the cost of that will soon out weigh the fine anyway!

But yeah, your age, most places want you to do a defensive driving course before an advanced (which teaches you skidcontrol) I'd strongly suggest you do both. Can help reduce your insureance as well in some cases, also looks good on your resume.

If your tyres are speed rated to 140kmh... I dare say they aren't very good, I'd be saving up for some new ones that might be a little better.

As everyones been saying, head out to willowbank, just get out there early to maximise your runs. Its $36 and includes a passenger. So 3 times heading out there is the cost of 3 speeding fines???

I thought people only double clutched in old cars and in new cars its just pointless.

If you like Drifting too I would be more then happy to show you things I have leaned, and chuck you around in the passanger seat.

can i take u up on that offer 2 please. lol

I'm a P plater

i am 2 mate, the difference between us is the law isn't retrospective, i drive turbo'd model,

i'v raced 1 person and i won't do it again, it scared the shit out of me personally, r

it's just not worth it bud, forget it.

$3,500 a year for normal insurance with Just Car

also how old are u exactly, they wanted 2 charge me $3000 for a 95 turbo'd model,

i dropped my premium (bad spelling) by increasing my excesses, so i got the premium down to $1500 upfront.

pls do yourself and every1 around u a favour, get full comprehensive insurance.

Damn you guys get ripped on insurance these days!! Full comp on my old 33 (turbo, exhaust but otherwise stock at the time) cost me $750 or so from memory, when I was 20. That was a while ago though *cry*

stop racing commodore drivers before you have an accident ;)

Hey Beau, I can I take you up on that one day? :)

Ofcourse , I love showing off , just have to be wearing the right stuff and come up and say hello at QR or Archy (no pass at parklands)

Beau it'd be great if you could show me how to drift. I was thinking of taking my car drifting and stuff but i know nothing about it and i don't want to damage my car. Also what is the skidpan? How much does it cost to take your car to these places?

Skidpan is a barricaded carpark that is watersprayed at QR drift nights , to teach new drifters car control in a car and person safe environment for $50

look in events section for the next meeting

And as above just come and see me at the track and I will be more then happy to take you out on the big track , my name is on the car it's a dark blue R32 skyline 4 door with a 34 front end blue tacked to the front!

Beau

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
