**NOTE THIS IS FOR AN AFTERNOON SESSION**

Hey guys and gals,

Due to overwhelming demand to mix up the driver training a bit, we're please to offer you a chance to do the double skidpan!!!

We the booked Driver Training day on the skidpan at the RAC Facility (formerly AHG) in Kewdale!! This event will count towards the Driver Training requirement we discussed Here.

This event is open to all SAUWA members, whether you've competed in a single skidpan event or not. If we have trouble getting numbers then it will be opened up to non-Members, so make sure you secure your spot quickly.

Please make sure you read and understand all requirements before signing up to this event. Getting there on the day and saying you didnt realise the requirments and are not prepared (not having a helmet etc) will result in you being excluded and no refund will be given. So make sure you know what you need to have!!

The training is held in a controlled environment on a skidpan with an instructor. We have paid for two instructors so everyone gets more time training (otherwise a lot of time is lost while the instructor changes cars). We am unsure who the instructors will be at the moment, however we have done several of these days and recommend any of thier instructors.

You will do a variety of motor-kahna style challenges, which aim to teach things like handling of your vehicle, braking, driver seating postion and several other techniques.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED - RAC no longer have any so you must supply your own helmet.

- If you don't have a helmet, and can't borrow one then let us know and we'll try and assist.

When - Saturday December 12th (Afternoon)

Time - 12.15pm SHARP - 4.20pm. Driver briefing is at 12.30 so BE ON TIME!! (Missing Briefing means NO track time)

Cost - $105 for SAUWA Members. $115 for non SAUWA Members (If spaces available)

Where - RAC Driver Training Facility. Grogan Road Perth International Airport

Please note this is primarily member's only event, so you will be required to be a current financial member to be eligible. Places will go to members first and if there are any left, non-members can attend at full charge ($115)

There are only 16 spots available so please PM me if you wish to participate and pay into the SAUWA bank account details below - as you will need to pay within 7 days to confirm your spot. (First in first served basis sorry). We will not be chasing people up for payments. If you have not paid within 7 days, your spot will be cancelled with out notice and given to someone else. When you send me your PM to confirm your spot, please give me your full name, contact phone number and what model car you will be driving (preferably colour and model) so a running list can be prepared for the day and it will also make it easier for us to work out the order on the day.

Your name will NOT be added to the attendees list unless you PM me, this means we won't be taking names down from people just posting their interest in this thread.

Driver/Vehicle requirements:

Current and Valid Drivers License

Long Sleeve top, long pants required

Helmet

Fully enclosed foot wear

Car to be registered with no safety defects

Seatbelts both left and right hand side front

Can i be put on the reserve list? Would like to go, but seeing as i just did the last one should probably give some others a chance

We'll be running plenty more single skidpan days next year, this event was primariliy for those who'd already done the basic course and wanted to do more. So get your name down for it :(

Sorry, just a simple question. Why is it $30 more than last time?

It's a double skidpan, that means we get to use both skidpans (twice the size) for the course, which for those who've done it before is definately much more fun :(

    • 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).
