Tosh,

Thanks to yourself and Powerplay once again, it was a great day all round. It was also nice to meet all the fellow enthusiasts at the track, mine was the little red S15 silvia(700). I had fun chasing the racing Skylines while trying not to get too close to those flames... :happy:

Cheers

Patrick

it was an awesome day, James (nfi) and i were having great fun beating the skylines (hey Liz that was us) in our group with our dead stock nankang-clad mx-5 :(:) :)

Had a good chat to a few others too, Patrick--nfi is james and i am his friend Arup good to see u on here too :)

hey!!!! i didn't recognise you, should have come and said g'day!!!!

I swear you guys must have gotten cranky at me overtakingy ou then sliding off the track every 5 seconds!!! After I overtook you guys very late on the straight.. turn 2 got quite exciting for a second there! hahaa.

nice pics E_Lu-SHuN, especially love the one where I'm heading for the dirt.... that's how it's done boys!

can't wait to get the new clutch in and hit the track again on sunday!

Hi guys & gals,

Terry (Bathurst R32 GTR) and Rod (Gibson R31) phoned this morning to say a special thank you. They really enjoyed meeting everybody and had a great day.

Terry promised he will buy new tyres before the next track day, he has been putting it off because the GTR hardly ever goes out on the track.

So with new tyres fitted expect to see the GTR running at full pace at the next track day :P

Oh, and Rod has informed me he is bringing his passenger seat to throw me into :D

Cheers

Jo

Hey Arup,

Yes I have been lurking here for a while now, I had lots of fun trying to get into the 11's on the day I think a set of semi-slicks is the go but maybe I can find .23 of a second somewhere... :D

Good to see you guys go back on the track in the afternoon after you were looking at leaving early... :D

Cheers

Patrick

A few extra pounds of boost on the main straight or a NISMO LSD perhaps? ;)

I saw you and recongnised you but every time i was around u were busy talking to others..ill c u at skidpan day again..

it was me driving when u were coming off all the time (must have been the pressure to keep up was it not? :) )

i wasnt annoyed at all, in fact it was sort of satisfying seeing an r33 not keeping up, as i drive an r33 normally..

haha i remember the late overtaking on the straight, i though id let you through since i was planning on catching you in the corners later anyway, it felt like a proper race at that point haha, although i was slightly worried that you would come off the track badly halfway through the manouver and take me out lol!

its a shame you couldnt get into the 11s but i guess it will just make it more fun for next time!

you were the one who really convinced us to stuff leaving then for work and go back on the track, the last session finished the day off well since we were standing around waiting for ages before that! thanks for convincing us and helping quickly dump all the stuff we had packed back onto the floor :)

sounds like you guys had an awesome day.

Ive just started a new job - so going to be a bit hard to get time off for up coming trackies.

dammit!!

Great photos!!!!

:laugh:

Looks like everyone had a great time.

Wish I could have made it but a little hard to thrash a zed without a motor.

Thanks Tosh for the invite and I'll do my best to make the next track day. ;)

thanks nfi (ps i have nfi where your post went, looks like someone deleted it!)

the mx5 looked like a heap of fun, so many people underestimate them coz they look so girly! lol

I think if I had spent a little more time behind Kennedy I would have been able to creep my way a little bit closer to your 1.18 as he's an excellent driver!

Can't wait to see the s15 out there!

    • 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).
