It's been a few years and 2 cars ago since i've participated in a T&T. I've had my new tip-to-turbo exhaust done for a couple of days now and i'm keen to get it out on the strip and give her a floggin'.

I HOPE being around Xmas time will make it a quieter night, because as i remember, it is usually quite busy....i hope.

At this stage, a mate and i will be heading down regardless, but it'd be nice to catch up with a few 'lines on the night.

well i had fun but didnt get the time i was after. I blame the operator, rather than the tools :)

I ran 6 times from 4:30-9, so it was an average sized turnup....a lot of bikes in fact.

Best 2 runs were (60', ET, KPH):

2.211, 14.415, 153

2.132, 14.410, 157

On every run, i either got axle tramp off the start, or bounced the limiter in a gear, or both, so none of my runs were ideal. I was hoping for a 14.1, but i recon i current trim and a good run, it's only good for 14.2, 14.3. The 2 runs above felt pretty consistant.

Met Mort and few other non-SAU 'lines, but left early, as i got my runs done in the arvo before the crowd.

oh, and the most impresive partner i raced beside was a turbo+nitrous Swift GTi. It pulled a 60' of 1.791 (thanks to slicks), ET of 11.042@215kmh! Awsome little rocket, but then again, i'm partial to the little dungers, as i used to have one :)

Hey sorry i didn't see you before you went, saw a few of your runs thou, looked like you were doin pretty good.

Mangaged to get a 14.1 :) (60', ET, Kph) 2.241, 14.172, 162.01 wish i knew what i did so i could do it again, and got heaps of axel tramp

Found out that 33's don't like being run with out a pod 2.542, 15.726, 147.14 (shame) :laugh:

Seen that swift a few times now, that thing can haul ass, gave the XR5 a run to, not to bad but lacks out on the top end, i reacted 0.178 slower but just beat him he had 2.242, 14.966, 153.30 and i had 2.507, 14.766, 161.47

      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).
