Thanks for a fantastic day guys, you run a damn fine day and I can't wait to go back and give it another go.

It was a huge challenge running against your cars.

I reckon the battles in the afternoon were a hoot, I think it would be better than 'knock out'. It was cool with everyone lining up their own little battles with each other.

Thanks for making feel welcome.

Greg, silver MX5.

Also Juz... I had breakfast at Tiffany's this morning :D

I'm sooooo Jealous, I want breakfast at Tiffany's and everything else from Tiffany's. Next year I'm expecting you'll hook Dane up so I can enjoy some of these swish events!

As the only girl who drank 2 - I feel like I should get something dammit!!!

Bec I didn't realise you drank two aswell, great effort.

And Snowy you know how much I loved the last three runs of the day. Well the neck busta has busted my neck!

Yesterday I went to work and couldn't look left so I went to an osteopath who told me I need to where this stoopid neck brace and lay down flat for two days. Hence why I haven't been able to even see the results till now.

The weekend was still worth it but I look like a cripple!!

Also I prefer the timed runs rather than the knockouts.

I'm going back to bed now.

Who's Gonna Host Them?

They are coming out of my Laptop thick an fast now!

I think around 200 mb should be enough

When I get back from Uni, I'll set up an FTP for the vids, I'll send you a PM when it's done.

darkeh, speaking of uni, are you at latrobe bundoora?

aaaand... my hunt for the elusive DV cable should conclude today with a trip to jaycar. so vids forthcoming. Now if only I can work the soundtrack to collin mcrae rally into the video.

just put some classical music in there :D

whose kakimoto widebody 33 is that? awesome

If you mean the red thing with puffy guards and badly slipping clutch :confused: .. that was me.

I ended up stuffing the clutch so bad on my first skidpan run that we had trouble even getting up to 80 km/h on the drive home, it took a lot longer to get back home than on the drive up there that morning.

According to the results I still managed 3rd fastest overall on my next run using reduced throttle with the clutch slipping badly - I was only beaten by an R34 GTR and an R33 GTR, so it would have been nice to get a shot at the other events too.

Next time I will have a good clutch, new rear tyres and maybe even switch on the boost controller - I am really looking forward to it.

    • 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).
