Ok, now that I have your attention.

SAU NSW are having an Eastern Creek track day on sunday October 8. I am presently waiting on Wakefield Park to come back to me with regard to availability around that date for a second track day to make the journey worth your while.

Let the talking begin! :D:(

yeah don't forget due to nsw's closer alignment to the equator that GTSTs are quicker up here than GTRs :|

John's boat is a likely attendee, and sydneykid, GTR Jason and a couple of other quicker gtrs too.

Should be fun but we need deposits to hold places, the last track day sold out :D

Well you have to compare that to the other options....

Drive 1000klm @ say 10l per 100klm * 1.50. Will also need either other wheels or accept that you are gonna use a heap of semi slicks

Tow a trailer - need a trailer, and then 1000klm @15l/100klm. And the stress of towing a car that far.

$300 for the car and about 120 for a flight.

I have already got quotes from TNT, even though we will book the entire truck (or two), they still want over $300 per car, one way, with a minimum ground clearance of 5" (125mm :D).

5" of ground clearence?!?!

LOL - you are all jumping the gun!

I'm working on something but at the moment it looks like it will be in November - rather than this date in October.

Getting Wakefield for this date seems to be the problem. It's a long way to travel and so expenses are going to be high when you consider travel and accommodation - so everything I am doing is aimed about making this trip as affordable for as many as possible.

$220 is also about double what we pay for track days down here and I'm currently hoping to get everyone a date at Eastern Creek AND Wakefield for less than that total.

However - if I can get something organised for Wakefield then the 8th is still a possibility as it would be great to be there with SAUNSW.

guys try some of the other car carries like scots transport etc.

and duncan was it you that was telling me the other day how snowman couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs a55?

bring it on mexicans!

and troy since you are just a sydney boy stuck in melb behind enemy lines you can even borrow my GTST for the day since i'm sure your never ending project will not have ended. hehe i'm serious though.

try these boys:

in all seriouness though we need a few quick imported GTRs to show some cocky GTSTs a lesson or two.

    • 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).
