I love porsche :O

Porsche Carrera GT as a "cruiser"? Not with that clutch and suspension set up! It's hardly a comfortable car to "cruise" around in. You can look really cool as you cruise past, bunny hopping away from standstill and fillings falling out your teeth over potholes :O

I could easily go an all-Porsche garage though.

Track Car: Carrera GT

Daily Driver: Cayman S

Weekend Cruiser: Boxster S

Street Sports / Targa: 911 Turbo S

quote Roy: (Only i would trade the TT SRT Coupe for a TVR Sagaris)

I thought about a TVR Tuscan S 2 instead, but the 1000hp twin turbo viper would be just too much fun, with performance figures like this, who could say no!

0-60 mph: 2.9 sec.

0-100 mph: 5.9 sec.

0-150 mph: 10.9 sec.

0-200 mph: 19.9 sec.

Top Speed: 255 mph

1. Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT (sunday car) the sound of one, phenomenal.

post-23724-1137931479.jpg

now after looking at those, im now speechless.. lol

have the fixed the bonnet on the sagaris yet? or does it still flap around like as if it was about to come off at 100km/h?

Umm, i dont expect old Jeremy to think off his own bat, but what do you expect from a fibreglass panel, subjected to the forces that a bonnet sees at high speed?

Can you name a car with a non steel/alloy bonnet that doesnt buffet around at high speed? Curious to hear form someone here with an R34 Vspecc II as dont they come std with carbon? I suspect they still flap around, i know footage of Jap cars at Tsukaba do it (spellling?)

I know every car i have been in with a carbon or fibreglass bonnet buffet.

So i will gladly take one, and id rather the bonnet flop around a bit, as opposed to putting a heavy steel bonnet on :cheers:

Dont diss the TVR :)

Never one to diss the TVR also Troy but correct me if I am wrong (flame suit on) but wasnt it only the 34 GTR Nur that came with the carbon bonnet from factory like Geoff has as Troy has a V Spec II and I didnt think that did? B)

    • 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).
