Three things

- I may come, only if we get to calder around 4-5pm, otherwise you only get about 3 runs.

- Do I need a helmet? Can I hire one or whats the deal with that?

- Costs etc?

BTW, who needs semi's.... just go auto/4wd.... if only that was worthy to brag about :mellow:

Too much excuse mate, might as well stay home :P. Calder now open every friday not like back then where it only open every third friday of the month so i believe you'll get more runs.

Shout out on the forum see who can lend you a helmet.

Cost shouldn't be anything over $70 or $50.

any ideas which friday Bass? would love to come down and watch. just one more thing and this probably isnt the section to post but, "with all this interest what are the chances of hiring calder for a skyline 400meter day?" just an idea im sure there are plenty of factors to think about but could it be done??? :O thanks

This Friday. 13th of January.

I've discussed hiring the drag strip with Calder park, but they want like $20k for a day.

Heathcote is a much easier option.

Stay tuned for the SAU drag day this year :O

SAU DRAG day would be nuts!!!

if alot of guys from sau are going anyone wanna cursie up together?

Bass, what time are you leaving your area (mitcham yeh?)?

Ill speak to a friend, see if i can borrow his helmet.

Id wanna leave here as early as possible, as i dont have a citylink pass etc so i dont think 5:30pm friday night city traffic is fun.

I just want a photo with the WEDS on the R34, should look tough, and make sure you do your biggest burnout after the 3rd or 4th run, otherwise the FullBoost guys are likely not to get a photo:)

...and it dawned on, i only have a good pair of tyres, the others got chewed up at DECA, so will have to run you Buudy Club at the front...

Go the low 12s :(

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
