Just to set the record straight....... Ambrose races in the Craftsman Truck Series and the Busch Series. Number 59 in the Busch series. He was racing in the Mexico City Race that Montoya won over the weekend. Ambrose was running 5th at one stage when i saw him. He ended up 8th.

Ambrose is a full time driver in the Busch series this year, truck series last year. He is hoping to qualify for 2 Nextel Cup race this year as well. Ambrose's entry into NASCAR combined with the fact I just got Foxtel has got me right into it. 8th is an awesome effort considering he was 5th when he got spun round on lap 64 and pushed back to 24th... he passed 7 cars on the final 2 laps. After 3 races this season Ambrose is currently equal 5th outright in the series and top rookie (above Montoya) although its a long season, 35 races!

As someone who thinks WRC is the supreme of all motorsports I used to think the circle racing was just stupid, and it kinda is. You gotta think of it as a drag race... but instead of being a quarter mile, its 400 miles.

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
