Let's a get a few people together and plan to make the 23rd mainly skylines :O

I'm IN for the 23rd! Who else?

I've been with some mates to a couple of these days and they are the best! The sprinkler system keeps the sliding happening, so you dont have to have a 300000000KW machine, and you don't really need to worry about your tyres.... much :)

LETS DO IT!

If my car is back on the road by then, I'm definitely in!! I sent my booking form in for the 9th, and had an accident the day after :O

Hopefully my car should be back on the road and I can come along on the 23rd!

I've had like zero professional driver training, is this kinda thing ok for that?? Or would there be better places to start??

(not interested in being race car driver, just want to control my car better)

I'd probably suggest a defensive driver training course first.

Skid pan work is great for working out how to bring a car back once you lose control, but a defensive driver training course would hopefully stop you from getting into one in the first place.

yeah i agree. even if you havent had any driver training. this will be a good place to start. it will help you learn a little bit about you car, and you will have heaps of fun.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
