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?

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.

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
