I have an idea for something that could get alot of us involved in some healthy, fun and light hearted competion...

This is just an idea but I thought that if I posted here and asked for an expression of interest that it might be something cool to do.

Ok enough dribble - Im proposing a yearly awards event that EVERYONE can enter with categories and unbias independant judges (ourselves) to vote on the best car in the ACT (and surrounding areas) in each category...

For example - If you wanted to enter your car in the "best allround R33 Gtst" category, all you would have to do is post which category you wish to enter and at least 2 pics (6 max) of your car aswell as a list of mods, performance figures (no estimations, only true tested figures) and a small rant about why you love your car (you may enter more than one category).

Then, everyone here would get the chance to vote (only once) on each car in each category that they think is the "best".

At the end of the year the Gold, Silver, Bronze and encoragement award will be announced... Keep in mind though that this is ONLY for bragging rights, there are no awards exept for if we can mabye arrange some stickers or award print outs that you can hang on your wall. Shell??

The categories would be for example-

* SAU ACT Grand Champion (most votes in all categories)

* SAU ACT Runner up Grand Champion.

* Best allround R34 GTR.

* Best allround R34 GTT.

* Best allround R34 GT.

* Best allround R33 GTR.

* Best allround R33 GTST.

* Best allround R33 GTS (incl GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTR.

* Best allround R32 GTST (inlc GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTS.

* Best allround R31 GT (incl GTS-R, GTS-X and Passage).

* Best allround R31 (Aus domestic market).

* Best allround Non Skyline.

(the following are for Skyline and non Skyline entrants).

* Best Paint scheme.

* Best interior.

* Best Stereo system.

* Best body kit.

* Best choice of wheels.

* Most Bling.

* JDM award (most jap spec).

* Track star award (most track spec).

* Drift king (most drift spec).

* Straight line master award (quickest 1/4 mile ET) **

* Power king (most wheel Kw's) **

* Best budget car??

* Best write off??

** (These catergories may need to be judged as separate Models eg: R32 power king, R33 power king etc.)

As I said, this is just an idea, but hey its something that eveyone can be involved in and we have a whole year to prepare!

Lets have a vote on who would like this to happen for next year...

And Shell, how would we go about getting it set up??? Hehehe :ninja:

Can we have a "longest time off the road/replacing radiator" category so I can enter too? :)

Well, thats not really fair though is it Nick, cos you'd win that hands down. :ninja:

If anyine has an other catagories they would like, then speak up! I know Ive missed some...

We need to know how many people are interested so lets have a show of hands...

Vote - Yes or No

(P.s. If you say no - youre not cool) No pressure. :)

Come on Shell, how do we get this off the ground??

You may have some competition there,pal! :)

Great idea M;happy to lend a hand,judging and all that jazz if needs be...sounds excellent,either way! Can we maybe nominate other peoples' rides,too? I know who get's my 32,33 and 34 GT-R votes already! And I've got some good cars in mind for the Stage' and GTS-T classes,too...

OH YEAH! Stagea's! (Sorry Lesh)

I think that people could nominate, as long as they have the owners permission, but they would still need photo's and specs on the car, if the person who owned the car didnt want it to be "known" then it would be uncool for someone to just go posting up all the info on it.

But if we can arrange a nominations category then that would be cool too!

I'll take thats a yes from you then Jayce?

Yup!

Crappiest stock R33! I need to win something! XD
pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW! :)

Mick- sounds great and i'll do all i can... sorry havent got a brilliant idea to get it off the ground right now though, maybe after christmas we can think about it & how to do it properly..

We'd probably need a seperate thread for each category so I might have to set up a special section or something to keep it organised...

I can do some fancy certificates for sure!

Post Chrissy would be a good thing;this whole Xmas spirit thing sucks the life out of everything else that needs to be done! Bah,humbug!

Speaking of Xmas spirit;where'd I put the Xmas SPIRITS...

pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW!

Curse my aftermarket rims!

A new category then. Most totally awesome near stock silver/grey two tone R33 two door (Nothing like a monopoly!). I'm in! lol... I'll have to pull my finger out and get some money together. Hopefully by this time next year I'll have something worth entering in a few categories.

Awards are all wrong!!!

Best Dummy Spit

Best 'Oh ho, I forgot to tighten that bolt'

Best 'oops!'

Best defect

Best bourbon/bundy/beer regurg

Best 'gay' bit on your car

Best 'I didn't say that.....did I?

Best excuse for trying to get out of a defect/ticket/across the pits reject etc

Best pink shirt [sorry veilside]

Please feel free to add as you see fit.

Gee, thanks for remembering me Mick...

Don't worry about 'best stagea' category, i'll be the only entrant. i'll just get thrown in with the 'best non-skyline' and give it a nudge with the cefiro's, laurel's, cima's, silvia's, fairlady's, 350's, GTi-R's, Maxima's, Pulsars, X-trails, Navara's, Patrols, Micra's & Tiida's... oh and the old datsuns.

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
