Well I had heaps of fun. :( Damn thomas holding me up in the corners.... :(

My exhaust manifold took a beating though. Car's getting fixed now.

Should've gone highmount this time around, but hey, I'm not made of money :O. Really wish I could've brought my photographer/business partner along to get some awesome track shots. Ah well.

hahah yeah right wil...it was the other way around....you'd absolutley eat me on the straights and then id catch up in the corners where you were holding me up :ermm:

that sux about your manifold dude....pity you couldnt have gone high mount :(

yes that GTR owner certainly was an A grade knuckle head. not very nice to tootle around for a couple of laps only to nail it on the straight. very frustrating for the following car, but i think the driver in the SSS lost his cool a bit.

what gtr was this?

anyhow, angry drivers cause accidents... that is all.

Yeh, hi, that's video from my car (the white SSS)... I was getting a little frustrated (actually was going to chop the swearing out, but figured i'd leave it in as i'm sure that other people had the same thoughts, but no camera in their car).

Main reason i was cursing was i also suffered the same deal in previous sessions where cars on the straight decided to show me a clean set of heels, only to have my SSS on their tail at the braking zone for turn one. After 1 lap of holding back, i decided to make my car clearly seen in his mirrors, at which point he did let me pass cleanly which was good.

What was frustrating was that the exact situation was clearly covered in the drivers briefing, but it seems that there were definately a few poeple not listening. lol.

Was a great day, so many tasty cars.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
