DIDO... as usual great day.

I thought the witches hats were a great idea, i normally tip in too early and wash out the front end on the exit or corners, i think it helped my line.

...and life begins with DJ-01s, speed limiter thru turn 1 !!!!!

Ok, I've got some pics from the day, I don't know all of you so I'm not familiar with whose car is whose in many cases. :D

Please also note that the track day was my first ever attempt at panning practice, and as you can see there's more practice to be had, so sorry if your car is blurry. :D I can only say I'll be at many more track days, so hopefully in the future these pics will come out consistently good. That said, some of these shots look pretty cool I reckon. Not a bad first effort. :(

Enjoy!

Cheers to every one who went. I had a great day on the track for my first time its good to have had no incidents or failures with the car.

Thanks Roy, I enjoyed your 32 aswell. Next time you drive mine it might have breaks and I'll try and dial out the instability in the rear.

You can try a bit more boost next time!!!

If any one out there thinks their a quick driver and havn't been on a track, think again. And inject your balls with steroids too if you want to take turn one at more than 180k.

By any chance did some one pick up my ferrari hat at the Cricketers Arms. I think I left it there?????

Guys, was a top day... good to get back to the days where we had plenty of space in our group... just a shame that the nembies had to run with the oldies... shit... gotta think of a better way of putting that! They could have got more of an opportunity to get out with people that have been before rather than following them. I think following helped at least Carlo though... And it appears that we have a few more addictees!

Unfortunatly I was not as lucky as the rest of you... I managed to shear 3 bolts in my exhaust manifold and thus have a car that will be off the road now untill the 16th of April. Oh well could have been worse.

I'm looking forward to the next one... which will be on the Monday the 9th of June (that is ages away) however it is a public holiday... so no excuses!

:Owned:

Majanal said there was a shortcut over to turn 5...but I think he lied.

And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for the paparazzi on the hill there.....the price of fame.....

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
