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!

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
