op prick at gate charged father and I $15 to watch amateurs who'd already paid for a private practice day to drive around the track

i asked what was the $15 for, the op lady said to cover insurance

pricks

sigh, i had to stay home for the gtr parts from danh.

how was it victor, anything shocking?

not really, pretty tame.. well it was my first time going to track day so wouldnt have anything to compare with.

but no real problems, besides the odd car breaking down etc... John's Z and Neil's cars were awesome!

Doodz! No photos? You promised. Who else has some?

Well anyway I had a great time and I don't think I was alone there.

Thank you very very very very much to the volunteers who did the flag marshalling all day. I really appreciate the effort and sacrifice you all made.

We would have got going a bit sooner if everyone arrived a bit earlier, but as per usual track days, by the end of the day people are tired, they've run out of fuel (2 of us ran out on the track :D), some break down or whatever and we end up getting good track time late in the piece.

Thanks for the beer Oz and the race. You had me with those slicks but only just. :)

I think the funniest part of the day was about lunch time when it was all hands and spanners on deck for skyline maintenance but the rotaries were all running sweet! Tables turned for once!

I'm not sure when exactly the lap times will be posted on Natsoft but whoever notices first, post up here. I know I got 1:25's earlier in the day but it remains to be seen what came of the later sessions.

Fatz, that thing is a weapon, and I mean that literally. :(:) Nah, give it some brakes and minitubs and it should be right. I now know your secrets to quick lap times though... Short cuts!!! I'm not kidding for those of you who didn't make it, that cloud of dust was the classic fatz short cut, not an off. The difference is control!!!

We ended up with great weather, bit of sun, some clouds and a few spots on the windscreen at one stage but nothing came of it. Had a great time.

Good to see so many newbies out there. Are you hooked yet?

I had the BEST fun ive had in aages today. It was awesome!! Big thanks to Abo Bob for lending me some tools, and giving me some good training at the start of the day :D

I ended up with a 1:30 half way through the day, but felt a bit quicker later on..

Thanks for all the volunteers time today, you helped make it an awesome day!

Now, to get my fuel filler fixed after spewing liters and liters of fuel all over the place! :D

We need photos people!

oh yeah, your car sounded just bloody awesome primordial too bad about the fuel filler, would've love to hear that car going around a couple more laps. Next time I hope my car will be ready for the track

What a great day, thanks to Adam and co for eveything to make this day very enjoyable for all. Thanks Adam also for helping me bleed my brakes made a big difference!!!

Lizzy we both know who came out the winner here, everyone! It was an awesome day and to answer Adam's question, YES i'm hooked!

Got my times down to 1.31.6 so very happy first timer :D

MADGTR and Abobob's car were flying!!

Again thanks everyone for a great day and Adam for everything, you are a real credit to SAU :D:D

    • 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).
