is this just an open day thing? Whats the entry fee and on road (track) costs?

Starts at 4:30pm and finishes as 9pm.

You need to book. Fill in the form, fax it through, and you get a call saying your in.

I'm not organising the day, but myself and a mate will be running. So come down and say hello.

I did a 1:58. Very happy with that, since it was my first time out at the track in my GTR.

Basically stock car and started with a full tank of petrol with semislicks. I had a little understeer when fully stretched. I guess i need to speak to some handling geeks to dial that out.

But i had a fun night and will go back for more.

Padey,

Great to hear you enjoyed yourself....it turned out to be an awesome night, max 17 cars and 4 hours of open track!! I had the chance the take the 993 twin turbo for a few hot laps; nice bit of gear.....but a fully loaded GTR quenches my thirst anytime!!!

I had the the Baby GTST & the VW R32 out....you soon realise that 350 rwkw's (gtst) are quite a handful through the twisties... but oh so much fun when you blast past a Twin Turbo Porka!

I'm in discussion with the events managers about another Twlight session, will keep you posted!

Its been a while since I've posted on the forums but some of you blokes need to put your hand in your pocket occassionally & stop moaning about a measly $200....this is the best $200 you can spend, your driving Eastern Creek & also have the facilities of supercar intructors!!!

I was thinking the same, 200 is a good price!

was it done in groups? if so how many groups and what times did you get each? like 15 - 20mins group?

might keep an eye out for next one if thats the case!

Had heaps of fun for my first time on the track with my GTR.

So when is the next one? And what times were some of the other cars doing?

cheers

      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).
