good day boys. i was impressed to be able to hustle the stock GTST around quite respectably. It was bone stock bar a cat back exhaust and a pod, still running stock boost and of course handicapped with falken ziex FK326 i scrapped my way around the track with no brakes and no power! haha good fun.

my thanks go to:

Nathan, for not being able to turn up. but still sorry you couldnt make it.

John for the tools

Adam for organising, and helping with my suspension change

Neil for never missing an opportunity to give me some shit (you old fart), and for brining us all numbers, and for kindly letting me borrow your tools.

Dan for being chief mechanic, he is a top spanner spinner and the price is right.

Pete for doing f**k all.

and to all the SAU guys for volunteering:

sorry if there were more, i just didnt see you/know you but thanks too :D

i was actually proud that we had so many flag marshalls coming from out club. and that none of them meatballed me either for passing, being sideways or scarping, iinstead just choosing to bitch about it on the radio! lol.

top day, but i was a bit dissapointed that it didnt rain in the arvo. i was looking forward to that.

I guess everyone was right about me going faster in the arvo.

1:24.379 WOOT!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to jump on here to send a special thanks to all the guys that flaggied and helped make today the great day it was. they dont happen without you.

cheers

Andrew

And thank you. I was planning on making a post on forum thread but I can't get in anymore.

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

thanks mate.. a few people said that it was sounding good actually. sweet!

hope to see you out there on the next one.. trust me, as some have been saying, its highly addictive! maybe try cocaine instead, you would have a better chance getting off that :D

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.

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

Nah :( The vid camera I was able to get didnt work when I got it yesterday nite :(.

Yea hooked :D Im gonna bring car next time and put on track :D Boost controller going in tomorow!

Oh and those of you who where on the CB great entertainment, when nothing exciting was happening on the track. Great CB wh0ring :D:D

time to get myself a cb radio and start WHORING!!!!

best quote of the day would have to be

"car number XX temporarily lost traction for 7 consecutive corners"

Edited by lingeringsoul
It's 12:42am and I've just gotten home. Working on getting the pics up.

What happened Toulio - did you have to walk home plaster and all?

Here's one of Sindows paying close attention to the instructions of the experienced drivers at the race day...

    • 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).
