Yay. Top of next page :)

85URK, as for skidpans up at gympie, it is a no go anymore. it is now purely a driver training centre. word is, insurance got too high and was too much of a risk (seing that it is such a small place). i think the only places that now do auto gymkanhas is Queensland Raceway and the Mount Cotton driver training centre. supposedly they do drift circles (put down diesel and water and slide away :) )

lol 334door my car is no more underpowered than a 33 or 34 GTST. i have heard that queensland raceway is doing pretty good at skidpans and gymkhanas, and is really well priced. if you can get a group of 20 or so it is about $80 per person

hey brad, your computer isn't working. it can't quote things properly. and if so, i would like to see that evidence. unless you are talking about 10HP at the wheels at the first dyno. And before we go into details. you did have a bigger fuel pump, and a front mount intercooler at that stage

;):):laugh::laugh::down::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

230hp at barnes a few months ago. we all filmed it, then u started talking some shit about a fmic increasing ur boost to 28psi or some shit. still isnt quite the same as 256hp of a r33 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

u can continue your soarer shit here www.soarerworld.com/

or revive a rb vs *jz thread in the general car discussion thread.

To be honest while i love the rb motors...you cant go past the fact the 1j and 2j have more potential, without having to replace more.

Thats a little open ended Allara :)

Explain how a 1J has more potential than an RB26?

And replacing stuff is the fun part!!! :)

if you compare a rb25 to a 1j both turbo of course, my money is on the 1j.you really cant compare a rb26 to a 2j cause of the capacity difference , but if you had a rb30 bottom end then that would be a more level playing field.

yeah well ages back the car club that used to do skidpans up there got told they couldnt do them until further notice. so they must have cut them all together now, its a shame but i guess, they will get better funding from the government etc if they make it purely a driver training facility.

      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).
