Where To Find: Nice Open Area (i.e. Carpark) For Learner


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have a friend who is still on her L's and she's not really confident to drive on the roads yet (No she's not driving my car lol) she has an Excel.....don't laugh...I know its hard, but anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of a big open space where she wont hit anything (Although i really wouldn't worry about that since I doubt we'll be going fast enough to do significant damage). I know in the Canada IKEA would have massive carparks but I haven't seen such here anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Also something totally unrelated, awhile ago I saw this Deca (or similar video of 2 Skylines battling) I think it was on YouTube, the course seemed like one of the harder teirs, and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, the significant feature of the vid is that the cars were almost in complete unison throughout the course. It was quite amazing and I really want to find and bookmark it, thanks for you help

EDIT: Just realized.....Don't hurt me Lauren! I love Excels I really do....I'm a wannabe Excel owner deep down inside honest!

EDIT2: Were located near the Caulfield East Area

Take her to Shepparton. I hear there is this big skid pan there where you can go nuts all day.

As for Deca, na, never heard of it.

:)

Caufield east? Easy.

Just drive up dandy rd about 10mins or so. There is a masive carpark on the right @ the sandown hotel or whatever. Usually fairly quiet later on @ night on a weeknight. Ensure you have a driver off thier P's though. P's cannot instruct.

As for youtube - just use "DECA SAU" etc as option, you'll find heaps

^^ Really i'd appreciate it if you upload it, I thought it was a really good example of the DECA and I want to show my friends so thy will come up and watch with me

James I ahve approx 600 Deca vids on my Work pc and more at home..(may gig's worth..) thus why need some mroe info as to exactly what cars they are.

these are just the ones I have done myself there are a number of other people who have posted vids as well..so more info the better.

Once again I will be at this one doing some taping..(just hoping some-one can point my camera at me as my usual crew are unavailable)

serz; been over a year since ive been to northies. What renovations did they do?

I memba my good ol 200sx days where i would have my own private skidpan at 3am on a tuesday

theres this big old stockyard carpark place next to dandy station down cheltenham rd that everyone uses to teach their learner kids friends. ive even seen someone practice their motokahn mini sprint there with witches hats and all.

might be a bit out your way though.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
