actually they do teach you track specific stuff which can easily be translated to street and Hills driving. this is achieved by looking and critiquing your driving style/habits and hopefully getting you to change for the better (if improvement is needed).

you will get laps timed throughout the day to track your improvement, not for podium spots. there is no official Natsoft timing during the day.

the expense covers 6-8 professional instructors (several will be flying in from Melbourne) and the catering for the day (morning tea, sandwiches, hot lunch, cold drinks/ bottled water) - certainly a lot more than a $200 private day can offer imho.

Cheers for covering that, but I swear lucky last questions :(

Do they do any car setup advice? eg, your car is a bucket of pus, change your spring rates. :)

flinging your car around a track will certainly highlight setup issues (understeer, oversteer, etc)

they can't specifically tell you what spring rates to change to, but can provide comment as to their take on your car's handling - eg. the back end is unstable, too much understeer, turn-in could be improved, brakes fade too soon, etc

and that's the benefit of the day - learning stuff about your car in a (relatively) controlled environment so that you can make adjustments to it and improve your driving ;)

less than 8 wks to go, guys - please confirm here if you have sent your form off with payment and received a confirmation email

not sure at the moment as SAsupra.com went down on the weekend and lost 12 months worth of data & user accounts with no viable backup :D

i'll have to contact everyone from that site individually if their usernames still exist and they can access their PMs! might take a while to confirm but i think i had six paid up from that side.

either way, we have quite a few empty spots at present. i'll go thru the list of people who attended the Advanced Driving event and give them a reminder.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
