Don't know why you paid $70 Brentt, as everyone else paid $40 :O .

Kon was obviously disappointed and a little shake, Hus didn't make it any easier :D . I would have prefered to not gossip and left it to Kon to explained what happened, should he wanted to.

The day was awesome, and Hus you should have stayed, as we had another 30min of track time at the end of the day :laugh: . I now offically have the "Track Bug" again as i absolutely cained it round the track. Reached about 230-240km/h, before having to brake for the first corner, ON STREET TYRES (my 19's). Car felt great, smooth and stable, can't wait to fit the Tein's :P .

The day ran very smoothly, and was toped off with great weather. Had the Hot laps in the morning, with witches hats placed at all corners to slow the cars down a little. I felt they were throwing me off my line, so i went around a couple smoothly to keep my pace :). Then had the slalom which was great fun in a head to head challange; and the Go-to-whao on the other side of the track. The cones were then removed to have the heads up drags. I only competed in one drag race against a tricked out Lotus Eliese. This thing had huge lumpy cams, suspension, RE55's, ecu, and other forgotten mods. Great car, and was awesome round the track, but ran out of legs on the straight. He had me, at the start of the quarter mile, by about 3 car lengths, but he was surprised how quickly i cought up and won the race by at least 2 car lengths (his words) ;) . Once the drags had finished, there was some time put aside for burnouts, which i have to say were pretty damn impressive. The day ended with 30mins of lap time.

After the last session, i left the car parked for 30min, when i went back i found a puddle of oil underneath my NEW pod filter :( . Will be doing a comp check and changing plugs tomorrow, as the plugs feel like they are fowled. Hopefully nothing major as i went for a drive today and Nikki and Matt didn't see any blue/white smoke at all :D . After countless hours of abuse, i could be finally due for a catch can.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      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
