:) aint got enough coin atm.. but ill be out to watch though. might take my camera out too.

full payment for the trackday is due May 31 so you have some time left.

no spectators for this one, but probably better photo opportunities at the next SAU trackday or at the next High Performance Driving course that i'm running in November (if you want to be the SAU photographer for that day).

just to confirm its an Advanced course, coz in the paper work u pm'd it keeps going on about the high performance course??

uh... the title of this thread is Advanced Driving Course.

if you read page 3 of the pdf, it states "This course will help you progress safely to a top level John Bowe Driving High Performance course or club track event"

perhaps you're misinterpreting "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." ----- the statement refers to this Advanced Driving Course (June 21) being a prerequisite for later the High Performance course (November).

hope that this clears up any confusion.

Kim, I may be in a position where I've moved my skyline on and have another vehicle, is there any issue with me bringing a different car?

absolutely no problem at all with bringing a non-Skyline along to this as long as the car you have is roadworthy. people often have last minute changes as well all know that things break!

the list is looking pretty sparse at the moment:

* GoAhead (form sent)

* niksta (form sent)

* Sparkys (form sent)

x Normsta

x Cheddar

x JSTA33

? RBJETT

? SXY 33

? dark.sky

? ozyk

? Ripp3r (didn't u do this course last year?)

will be hard to justify offering this sort of driving course again next year if the overall interest is low... :down:

C'mon people, it will be good to do this. I know it's a fair whack of money but it'll be a good experience and you'll have a great time. Maybe some of the guys who did this course last year put a good word in here hey.

That's not good Kimmy :) I've messaged all those people like you've asked but haven't had many replies, not sure what's going on but hopefully they wake up and get in on it. C'mon guys, pull yer fingers out, this is a great day!!!

P.S. Do you know if my mates brother (Mark Benham) has sent his form in?

Do you know if my mates brother (Mark Benham) has sent his form in?

no, i don't know yet, but i will catch up with Dean from John Bowe Driving early next week to go over the list of participants and update the list accordingly.

whats the minimum needed to go ahead with this?

I would normally need a minimum of 20 drivers to make the event happen, but as we have booked Mallala out for the day, we are committed to running this and will have make up the numbers with other car clubs (Porsche Club of SA, WRX SA, FPV etc), so rest assured that we are still going ahead with the event.

Luke - thanks for the additional two.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
