are there still places free for this?

yes, because i haven't distributed the enrolment form to anyone yet!

form will be sent out tonight with full payment required by May 31st for this course which will be conducted three weeks later (June 21).

The official enrolment form (pdf format) is available here:

Car_Club_Intro_Performance_course_Info_and_Questions_2010.pdf

Full payment to John Bowe Driving is due by May 31st for the trackday three weeks later (June 21)

Please reply on this thread when you have sent your form + payment in so that Luke (heslo) and I can track numbers.

*note: it is a requirement that participants have completed a defensive or advanced course prior to attending our High Performance course. This ‘Car Club Performance Drive Day’ meets & exceeds this experience requirement.

I haven't done a defensive or advanced course yet, does this mean I can't enter at all? Or is that just a note for the following High Performance course?

it is indeed just a note for the subsequent High Performance course. their requirement is that people complete a Defensive Driving or Advanced Course before doing the HP course (I'll be running one in November).

as you haven't done either of those courses yet, the June 21 course is the one for you!

im very interested still

then download the form attached above and let us know when you've sent it in so that Luke and i can add you to our list!

SAU has preference for the first week, then JB Driving will open it up to the other clubs (Porsche Club of SA, FPV, WRX etc) so you'd better get in soon or risk missing out as places WILL fill up quickly.

Im out for this one, will try and make a later one

this is the only Advanced course that we're doing this year and it's very likely that I won't offer it ever again after this, so sorry but there probably won't be a later one! :P

for what its worth i would also be interested if you could find the time to do another one

but i understand if you cant, maybe luke and myself should look @ running one for SAU|SA

lol no point in running this Steve...you guys will get more people coming like the last track day.....do another one asap please....it was f**king rad

I don't mind doing them, it's just that the amount of interest decreases as the 'pool' of novice drivers is depleted (because they go onto the High Performance courses and open trackdays) so it takes a lot more effort to get new people in together for subsequent courses.

And after a while it starts to feel like i'm flogging a dead horse with the diminishing responses / interest.

What you guys can do to help me is to sustain the interest by directing those people who would benefit from such a course to attend them when they're on as the opportunities for driver education are limited.

thanks for your concern! cheers

No!!! God I hate my car right now :P

No!!! God I hate my car right now :)

you dont have to take a skyline out there Dion......it could be any car mate.....just as long as it has decent pads for you to get the basics down.....they teach you more about cornering, understeer, oversteer, how to figure out a racing line, positioning of the car, making the apex etc etc

Yeah I know, I would just rather use a 'line - as my only other options arent really options.

Im trying like a bat out of hell to get (borrow) items needed to get mine going - fingers crossed!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
