SAU-NSW Advanced Driver Training (Great Deal) Nov 12/ Dec 12/ Jan 23


Recommended Posts

At least i was the only one to be eliminated i won that competition.  

Great day hope i can make it to stage 3 that will be excellent.

Did you find your way back dale ?

Hope mark is ok

After the tolls I took the Macqurie Uni turnoff, pity I didn't have a CB otherwise I would have let you know. Thanks for leading me back to familiar territory.

Was it just me, or did everyone who attended feel strange taking corners on the way home without drifting around them?

The afternoon session was just as good. Aaron took a liking to my car as did the guy in the red MR2 - he was a top bloke, jump in with me and taught me how to be a better driver.

Thanks Ken! That was the first time i've been in a GTR, from where I was sitting in the passenger seat they are bloody hard to get sideways - same goes for the BMW.

Brendan - you've heard this from me before, but your drifting on the first course we did was all class!

gtst4 - I dont understand how you got sideways so easily when you were in awd mode. Does the R33 GTR have a more advanced system?

Jason? - It was hard to tell yours and gtst4's cars apart. Did you end up figuring out why your car spun in a circle every time you turned a corner?

XEQUTOR - Have you got your rain jacket back yet? It was quite a lot in the afternoon session after you guys left.

When can we purchase video footage of the day?

Hey mark all i did was drop the clutch

I think the 33 is a different system but not 100% sure

Dale get yourself a GTS4 cheapest alternative to a gtr

Maybe even a r33 gts4 as it is n/a you might have a better chance gettin it and cheaper on insurance.

Anyone get any pics yet?

What a flaming good day!!!!!!!!!

I watched the video i got when i got home, theres over an hour of the stuff!!!!

Cant wait for the next skidpan day. Drifting it felt awesome! Hope it looked good where you guys were!!!!

Did anyone get photos or vid footage of the victory burnout with my arm out the window??

brendan: I didnt really chop yas all, it was still very close which was awesome fun! I love pressure! hahahaha

Mark: Havent seen the raincoat as of yet, did it get worse in the arvo??? Any of the arvo newcomers ask anything bout where he got it?? hahahahaha

Dale: If you can get it onto a cd for me i will get the guys onto editing it.

WHAT WOULD PPL PREFER??

i guess you have to spin out to learn :) and it was better to do it on skidpan than the road :)

but drift knowledge sure makes pizza delivery more fun if its raining :D

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
