Skylines Australia Victoria is proudly sponsored by Driver Dynamics and has had an ongoing relationship for years now.

DD is heading over to SA to do some promotion of road safety and run some courses. I thought that some of you might be interested in this Advanced Driving course:

Super Special Discounted Advanced Car Control Course

Saturday 15th September 2012 at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park

Driver Dynamics will be hosting a specially discounted Advanced Car Control Course at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park on Saturday 15th September 2012 .

This course is suited to all drivers and is focused on raising the drivers awareness of vehicle dynamics and advanced vehicle control skills.

The format is very much ‘hands on’, with the emphasis on practical driving exercises including, highway-speed emergency braking, wet corner emergency braking, emergency lane changing, multiple direction changes, vehicle stability, understeer and oversteer exercises, etc.

The nature of this course will allow the participants the opportunity to explore ‘high end’ vehicle control skills at the critical limit.

Regardless of your previous driving experience you will learn lots on this program !

The theory component of this course includes an in depth analysis of advanced vehicle dynamics including the introduction and understanding of the Traction Circle.

This course will be conducted by full-time professional, qualified advanced driving instructors and will be lead by Driver Dynamics CEO Kevin Flynn.

This is a full day course starting at 9am and concluding at 4.00pm.

Note that this is not a trackday, there is no circuit lapping.

You don’t need a helmet or any special modifications to your car.

No spectators are permitted and will be refused entry.

Normally drivers would expect to pay $315 for this course, but we’re offering this date for only $199.00 per driver.

No further discounts will apply to this course

Positions for this course are limited, so if you’d like to attend please call 1300 652 693 to book.

For a day like this would it be best to run in rwd?

I guess it depends on the end goal? Ie if you disable awd to drift or motokhana then I'd imagine that its best to get taught with the same setup?

That said, it'd be cool to do the same course with the same car in rwd and then awd... would really give you some idea of what the awd does...

having awd will make it a little hard to practice what they want to achieve with oversteer

also agree would be very beneficial to complete in both awd mode and rwd

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
