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


Recommended Posts

Yep.. I mashed that wet corner and pretended i wasn't expecting the back to step out just to demonstrate to myself what happens. Stage 2 is where I try to control it.

Coming into a corner normally at 60 and hitting 'go' before the apex with a fair amount of lock still on is about as stupid as stupid ideas goes. But it's a good exercise and reminder about things going pear shaped.

Ryde it is :

Just got this back from Aaron

"A.M session is fine for all you Skyline guys.

We have space for I believe 4 more A.M skyline drivers.

Cost for the extra drivers will be $125.00 as a small discount for the club.

Please tell all extra drivers that they must book in and PAY prior to Wednesday NEXT WEEK at the latest."

This morning my manager came around to my desk and asked what I was doing this Friday. I correctly replied that I was doing the driving course again.

He didnt want to see my face around work on my day off like last months mix up.

Who is going to remind me closer to the date?

How close is this - My R33 will be started for the first time in 6 months tomorrow - Run in on Thursday - ready for Friday !

Maybe ..........

Fingers crossed I get my car issues sorted out before the weekend.. rear caliper sticking on and strange whirring noises in the engine bay :D

Hmmmm - would that whirring nosie be - ummm - a TURBO ??? :)

I hope you get it sorted Kinks !!

Cheers,

(for fridays skid pan)

I would just turn up with the cash on friday, he doesnt seem to be a really strict guy. Try getting in contact with him tommorow too.

Hope to see you there on Friday. This time i've got the day sorted.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
