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...... :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
