Ben summed it up well :)

My first few runs were absolute shockers. I couldn't get any grip and I was bogging the car down badly. Times aren't even worth mentioning.

After a few decent burnouts, I finally started getting some grip off the line and as a result my 60" times dropped to between 1.8-2.0 which translated into several passes getting progressively quicker from 12.5 to 12.0.

And finally, on my last run of the night, I nailed my first 11 (not ground braking territory I know, but it was still something that I was aiming to achieve with the car, so I was pretty chuffed) - 11.945 @ 118.27mph (60" - 1.816).

I think there's still room for improvement, so I'll be back out there in a few weeks - love it :)

Surprisingly, no.

That being said, it was towards the end of the night, so maybe I was lucky to slip through under the radar.

I'll have to get it eventually though as I only intend on going quicker...

They nailed me on my first run $110.00 and it hurt, Had to wait for a mate to spot me the money before I could run again. :) But thats the rules. Then I ran a 10 later in the night and they said It all changes from here, I felt like they should have given me a refund :) Could I go back and them not know me? I know its safety and all but I only did it once.

Call ANDRA in S.A. and tell them that you bought a SuperStreet licence on the nite after running an 11 but then went o to run a 10. They'll only bill you the difference between the two licences.

Don't go back without your safety stuff - ANDRA have younger staffers there these days that pay attention to the dirty ricers in their skylines! :domokun:

When you say 'safety equipment', are you referring to running 10's or 11's (different licence again once you run a 10 right?).

Is there a website where they've listed the requirements etc.I've had a quick look at the ANDRA site, but it isn't very user friendly...

10's. 11's is just a bit of paper and your andra membership. 10's is the UDL - unlimited drag licence. need a medical, tech inspected car to requirements, clothing etc etc etc.

Get an ANDRA rule book for $20.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
