Frank's best is still in the 1.20's I believe. But he ran that in 2004. Last year he did his clutch straight up and never beat his 2004 time.

Given no problems he'll kill it this time. Last year Sandown had 3 cars under 1.20. Sam, Benno and Clayton.

What about ur session in my car with the semis for the 1:23?

Yeh, id love to...but like i said, when my car finally gets back on the road, it would be nice if i didnt have to go shopping for another $1400 set of tyres. Plus, if somehting lets go on your car, or sh1t happens then id cringe at the cost pf fixing another persons car. I still say my car will doa 1:23 with the diff fixed...so cant see why your car wouldnt do a similar number with the right tyres

Which isnt that big a worry, but i suspect its also the brake it you buy it rule....which if you are pushing the thing to do a sub 1:25 then you will have to giving it a bit of a go...and i dont like brakign my own car let alone others...so its lookign doubtful...

April 25th for those wondering the date. ANZAC day.

Those cheap Brembos look the goods. Wondering what temp they will catch fire at.

I was offered complete Falcon Brembo front and rears today with discs. $2K

May be available to flag. I'lll let you know James.

LOL...if i could work out how to mount two sets of calipers i would run twin std calipers on my rotors though...lol that would look tough, twin 4 pots on the car...Bathurst Enduro spec :P

Dane...can i ask how much the Evolution is? Is it carbon or fibreglass?

missed this post entirely!! :D

The evolution I was looking at is the normal fibreglass one, and it was $1425, and the carbon one is about $2800 from memory.

    • 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).
