Heys all,

Just putting it out there, i've got a 4 spots open for an ARVO double skid pan session at RAC's Driving Centre at Perth International Airport.

Starts at 12.30, so you'd be required to be there by 12.15pm the latest. Finishes approx 4.30, but you may leave when you like.

Cost is $110, non refundable unless you can find someone to take your spot.

Payment would be required as soon as possible to confirm your spot.

Would like payment, no later than 14th aug please

for noobies:

* You will need long sleeve shirt or jacket, long pants and covered in shoes

and socks.

* No loose items to be in cars, tyre pressures to be 4-5psi higher than

standard

* Helmets must meet the following accreditation-

SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (US); and

AS/NZS 1698:2006 (AS/NZS 1698)

Cheers

Its got nothing associated with SAU or SAUWA.

I dont know what was ran a month ago, but this is the double skid pan. not the track at rac driving centre.

Track is layed out using cones, and you drive around them.

yah, sounds like what happened a month ago. that was basically just a thrash session didnt learn much /shrugs

the instructors pretty much leave it up to you as to how much you want to learn.

anyway i may be interested, depending on when my new tyres arrive... not going to be much good out there running on the wires.

yeh i went to one a month or so ago, was my first time and the instructor hopped in the 1st time, told me how to handle the wheel properly, and how to turn in better. then the other 10 or so runs after was on my own. not bothered or anything, you pretty much get the feel of things and just try different methods of taking off, approaching/exiting corners etc, keeping the car poised.

every cent of the $80 was worth it though.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
