Queensland Raceway or Lakeside. You can do a lot of stuff on an AASA Clubman License (Sprints, Drift, etc). $55 a year and you don't even have to do a test. There's also drags at willowbank, I don't think you need any licence for that.

Keep it off the streets, nobody likes a street racer.

I am thinking of buying my first sportscar an old skyline. Where can you learn to drive fast in brisbane? Do you need a special license? What about "open roads" with no cops?

you're a dickhead, fcuk off to another forum

rofl IBTC

Take it to a track, lakeside or QR... Straight line use Willowbank drag strip...

Anywhere else and you risking your life and more importantly the life of others...

Skyline drivers are not snobs, they just get sick of being pulled over cause there are a few "hoons" who like to drive them and taint the whole image...

Wow! What nice people we have on this forum!!!!! Perhaps I will fcuk off!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Are skyline owners snobs??

start at a track, or even a skidpan, where there is plenty of room for you to spin out with no telephone poles, gutters, police and let alone innocent people

Thanks sorry I see. I was thinking more like a piece of totally open road with no other traffic, i guess in the old days you could go bush and drive fast out there. So there are racetracks? How much do you pay for insurance and use of a racetrack?

I was kinda hoping this would be a friendly scene.. I used to be involved in classic car racing and hill climbs in the UK and this was a very friendly scene, although i didnt own my own car my uncles had old racers from the 30s and 40s! Im just looking for a new hobby, ive given up on motorbikes since a nasty accident.

This is a friendly scene and we are friendly people.

Some people have lost their licence due to speeding, or getting defects, others have lost loved ones due to other people speeding etc.

When you post about racing or whatever down "open roads" with no cops you can't expect anything different from what has been posted above. It's foolish and idiotic.

Keep your racing to the track, the links have been provided at the top for you so visit their websites, give them a call and they will be able to answer your questions on costs etc.

Racing down an 'open road' is just as stupid as racing down the middle of town. Your life is just as valuable as the person next to you, even if you don't believe it yourself.

I hear that these>>http://www.police.qld.gov.au/ got the BEST hook up for great public roads where you can drive FAST!

Couldn't have said it better. On ya dan!

No, but some of them on this forum are the biggest nazis ever, its mainly the old farts. Just ignore them. Just find yourself an industrial area and have yourself a ball. Willowbank is in the middle of no-where and you have to drive ages to get there from anywhere in brisbane and plus you gotta get licence and entry fee, and pretty similar story to qld raceway.

Tristan is like 12, he is not old he is just not fully sick.

Some places where you can have a good drive but not break the speed limit include Nt Nebo, Mt Mee, Esk-Hampton Road and Gold - Coast Springbrook road

As far as going to an industrial estate that is neither fun nor safe fail ++

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
