With the positive response of the last track day i figured its time to have one at a different track.

The day will be organised by Ian Luff and all drivers will have a ride along with a pro to get one on one tuition.

Monies need to be recieved by 14 May 2006

contact jimmeh on 0405 072 590 or [email protected] or PM me

Programme Format:

The group will be broken into three teams - each with their own ILMVA personal trainer who will coach

and motivate them to move outside of their comfort zone and achieve success, both individually and as

part of a team.

Over the course of the day, there will be three (3) workstations that each group will contest (each runs

for approx 45minutes with a 10 minute changeover). At the conclusion of all three activities, the track

will be opened up for a ‘speedfix’.

The track will close at 4:00pm and guests will assemble in the VB Room for a Trophy Presentation, for

the following awards, Top Gun, Hard Charger, Hot Shot and Skilled Driver.

Drive Activities

Super Slalom - A driving discipline where eye-hand co-ordination and throttle balance is needed. Marked

with soft plastic traffic cones, the objective is to negotiate the course in the best possible time without

hitting the cones.

Cloverleaf - This high adrenalin driving test will really sharpen a driver’s reflexes. Rapid steering input is

needed to make it to the finish line with smoothness being the key to success. A great sense of direction

is needed to gain maximum points.

Hill Climb - The name says it all, but we provide an extra challenge. Again, the course is marked with

plastic cones with one part of the course wet down to create a driver skid control test. Lots of fun

guaranteed and plenty of sideways action.

Open Track - After lunch is when u get to put you newly learn skills into practice.

keep it tuned

I think you may have missed what i was trying to say, i mean, enter one car with two drivers and split the events between the two drivers. As i would only enter for the last part, so the rest of the day would be a waste

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
