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.

    • 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).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
