Guys if your really hooked on the circuit then join a club that runs supersprints and get in on it.!!

southernsportingcarclub.org and NSCC all compete in monthly events at various circuits and the cost is pretty reasonable.

Fair ammount of track time all properly timed and its great fun.

Typically the events fill up fast but if you get the entry in early your bound to get spot.

TJ very upset I did not get to see you leave i was to busy going side ways with sam with the semi slicks on god he is funny when he drives he kept head butting me every time we went around a corner.

How did you go anyway ?

OI! just cause i don't have bucket seats!!! Had a great day guys, i was running low 16's, but think that if i drove a bit smoother with the semis i could crack teh 14's! Pumped for DECA and Winton!

Awesome, I'm quite happy with that, considering the tyres I had on cost a total of $450.

Nice to meet you both at the track as well :-)

Those tyres are a very soft compound Raul so your brakes must have been really bad. What pads are you using?

I have been told that the tyres are very soft compound, however they have now done 3 track days (with plenty of use on each) and I am confident of getting another track day maybe even two out of them. Maybe the fact that they are old stock has hardened them up a bit. For $500 odd dollars a set I would buy more if they were available.

As for the brake pads, they are “Racebrakes” RB74 fronts and comp 2 at the rear. The discs are still the standard ones with over 55,000km on them so I think that’s the problem.

Sounds like a great deal mate. I'm thinking that your lighter car would help too.

When did you last bleed your brakes. I wouldn't have thought that standard rotors would cause the brakes to fade so quickly although I don't know how good they are from stock. Luckily for me the R34 has great standard brakes. 310mm front rotors for a start. :D

It's pobably been about two to three years since I had the fluid replaced and the system bled so that could be an issue.

Now that several of us have been to DECA before, we're definately taking it to them this time. If I start running as well as I did at the end of the day last time I'll move up considerably (a more sorted car doesn't hurt either).

A short clip of a light run during the day.

Managed 2 salvage one bit of footage.

Next time all three cameras will be in operation.

Also lost a fair bit of clarity when posting them to youtube.

Cheers

& thanks again Adam & Co.

HELMET CAM

SAU Track Day in the R32 GTS-T

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7inn0WBvI1s

There was a quality drop with compressing for Youtube, the helmet cam was making an annoying 'clunking' noise, so I covered it with music and will look for a better way to attach the helmet cam next time.

The white 33 was interesting to follow, even if I did have to slow down/stop for it a few times.

Thanks again to the organisers, it may feel like a loveless job, but we all luv ya for it!!!

Cheers

Michele

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
