I was pretty angry at the whole thing. See I don't care if Ford or Holden win, but when a championship has tied points in the last race of the season I'm sitting back for a great battle. Then bang, shunted out and I'm cheated of the battle. If only GTR's were still racing, there would be no shunt on lap 2, as they would be 400m ahead of the pack by then !!

Yeah V8Supercars is lame and for Bogans. Bring back the GTR's and the Euro Touring cars. That provided for some very interesting racing. Its a pity that the rules were changed so that no one could see how much proper racing cars destroyed family sedans.

LOL.. Who said that :P

doesnt the GTR still hold the fastest bathurst race time

Indeed, for year 1991. Time was 6hrs 19mins and 14.8seconds.

Hardcore V8 fans and the media will repeatedly say that this time was achieved without the intervention of Safety Cars, so this figure is unlikely to be broken in the future.

Well, TECHNICALLY, they arent the same class of cars... So the GTR would still hold an overall record, which happens to be in a class that is no longer in Australia. So it obviously cant be broken.

No dude. Thats the end of racing when they allow a FWD platform with no V8 in it to be run as a RWD race car. Then we get the NASCAR crap, where if one car wins more than 1 race in a row its because they are cheating. I mean, all the nascar actual cars that are in the showrooms are now FWD base. Its wrong, and I dont like it.

Turn your sarcasm detector on lol

But yeah, the GTR's record will never be beaten because, as Paul said, the track has changed. It'll always retain the record for the old track configuration, simply because there's no way for anyone else to compete for it now. The fact that there were no safety cars (I'll take your word for it Karen :) ) would certainly have an impact too, but regardless it all academic.

I do miss the days of different types of cars, the "supercars" are sooo damn boring. It used to be good seeing cars that had their own strengths and weaknesses but were still competitive overall. V8 Supertaxis are incredibly bland in comparison. Unfortunately it looks like there's a bucketload of money in it, so it's here to stay :sick: I'd absolutely LOVE to see some variety in the series. It'd also be nice if, instead of the local manufacturers crying because they were being flogged, they used it as an incentive to step up to the plate. As it stands, there's not a great deal of a reason for them to do so, because they're not being compared to vastly superior machinery.

Meh anyway, it's all wishful thinking. Not going to happen, guess I'll just go back to the bike racing and rallies :sick:

      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).
