Dale, I was coughing at Majanal - not you - because Maj should know that the next SAU skidpan day is the 12th (cause he is the SAU events co-ordinator :bonk: - there is one on the 13th too !

The one on the 12th is part of Advanced Driver training and is Instructor Led - 4 hours - about 12 cars

The one on the 13th has been organised by an SAU Forum member (Oz GTR97V) there will be instructors there on the day , i believe - but is not instructor let - approx 50 cars or so - 8 hours.

Either would be good value - You would learn lots !

Aight thanks for clearing that up mate!

Which do you think would benefit me most? I'm gona be in a BMW 318i RWD 1.9L unmodded and i currently have my Ps and havent driven on any skid pans before and dont know how to drift etc?

They are both approx the same cost so whichever would be better so i dont get in peoples way etc etc :D

I'd say the driver training day will be more structured and have closer feedback. You'd do well to do that and also do Aaron's stage 1 day at a later date - I've been driving for ~5-6 years and I still got a lot out of stage 1. But either day will give you the opportunity to get out and see what your car does.

Hi,

I went on a driving course recently to help me get the most of of my 200SX (S15). It was great, some parts of it were for 'P Platers' with wet weather skills..etc for inexperienced drivers but it let me push my car to the max on the Oran Park track, swing the tail out and learn how to bring it back in in a safe area, better cornering skills and Apex and best turning methods...also how to handle high speed driving!

Great course, took 1 day and was $275.

Take a look @ : http://www.finlays.com.au/pages/carcontrol.html

The Instructor used to be in car racing but he's a bid of a 'Dad' and shakes your head when you take off real quick..etc but he's very smart and instructors get into your car, watch you drive and give you tips and then take your car for a drive while you are in the passenger seat and show you how you should do things...very good!

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
