Hey ppls.. as some ppl might or might know - just got my car..

I'm trying to find an advanced driving/skidpan course that I can attend within the sydney area..

If anyone knows of any/recommends any, please let me know..

If there is a SAU members one coming up @ some stage, that'd be good, doesn't appear to be at the moment though..

Any thoughts are appreciated - except for ppl who say I don't need to do it..

Cheers,

^^ i've done the Peter Finlay one about a year ago before I got the skyline, I would definately recommend him for a 1st level advanced course. I am however looking for something where I can find the limits of my car on a skidpan so I can try things like oversteering, and practising in the wet..

Peter unfortunately doesn't have those facilities but they have a great little track they use..

i'm planning to go on this very very shortly...

also know of Ian Luff, have met him once a couple of years ago, he is a top bloke, also he was one of the judges on Australias worst driver, that show on a while ago. (i wasn't on the show when i met him!!!)

im interested too but probably next month or so, as all this month's Sunday are booked out for me. Got things to do, show and shines to goto, dynos to goto, fishing trips to go ;)

but yea as long as in the skidpans I dont crash or trash mycar id like to go and learn too.

I must agree Aaron Macgill is a very good driver. and a nice bloke too.

I recently attended one of his C3 track days (you can do an OLT for your C3 licence if you wish).

It was at Oran Park (full Grand Prix circuit) and I got him to come for some laps with me. very informative.

Hard to go past a guy that has made his way up to V8 supercars...

I am sure he does run skid pan days etc too.

Do one of luffys courses.... i wouldnt do anything else...

i did course 1,2 and 3 in one day with the nissan sports car club and it was soooo much fun...... time trails... doorriiiffttooooo everything...... :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
