should i go? i have whats known as "one stop then nothing brakes" when on rd, will it be better on the track with more airflow or will i just have a crap time. need advice. stock 33 gtst brakes with compliance pads still. how much of a difference will some nice ducting make

Jeff, Bleed the brakes and change the pads!

Or just buy the stuff and I will do it for you!

Corrine,

I want to support driving events. Without us they will not happen. I have no problem with $220.00 just I do not have a CAMS license yet. I will try to do it with Ian Luff Motivations but I need a day off work which is hard at the moment. If I will not be in that will be the only reason. Thank you again for the wonderful day on skid pan. Hopefully next time I will do better....

Cheers,

EUG.

Hi Eugen,

You don't need a CAMS licence for this even thats why the cost is a little higher.

This day is also on the saturday. Let me know what you want to decide.

For most track days you won't need the PC licence (which i assume you are talking about here). Best way is to get your L2S licence, which is just a case of filling out a form and sending it off with $85. But as Corinne said, you don't need either for this event.

can anyone help me source some ds2500's or similar? maybe some dba 4000 rotors too? i cant get this stuff from autopro lol. well not for a nice price anyway.

brakes are fine for street, i dont use them. but you stop a few times from what we will call high speed and they fade and squeal like a banshee, they are just a crap pad i beleive, (compliance pad?). plenty of meat on them they just don't work.

Don't be using dba 4000's they crack.

Why don't you talk to Brad about it?

YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR PADS JEFF!

No Cams licence required for this one.

DS2500 are a great road and track pad. Brake air deflectors are also a good idea.

Keep in mind it is a Saturday at a Sydney track and with pro drivers to learn from this is well worth going and not expensive. I might get the Slot Car out and out and see if Bozzo can do in it. I have been doing track days at Oran Park since 1984 and I always learn something from Bozzo.

Nice shot of the car John. :D

Hahaha you are going to let bozza drive it!

Thats the last time I let boz drive my car at the last skidpans and he broke the clutch.

I could not help but comment on this one.

Of course JP would let me drive his car as I have been doing this for 24 years (racing cars) and have been a professional driver trainer with Luffy for the past 10 years. We (JP and I) have known each other for many years and he respects my profession as I do his.

Corinne, are you serious about that comment?? I certainly hope not. If you think that I 'broke' your clutch you are JOKING JOKING, JOKING!!!!

Please you are a really nice girl, but stick to things that you know about LOL

Being one of the very few test drivers for MOTOR Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph, Factory Driver for Mazda in Japan, Driving a V8 Supercar, Driving a Turbo Lotus Exige for Southern Motor Works and just having done a deal to drive a GTR SKYLINE for a team in a Championship, I think they have trust in me and I think that you should as well.

Impressive resume Boz......do you need an assistant at all?

Cheers!

Chris

Hi Chris

haha Did I also forget to say that I love driving my Datsun 1600 Rally Car as well. Go the Datto!

Cannot say much about the GTR yet as it is a bit of a surprise. Should be ready in about 6 weeks though!

Haha Boz Im only having a joke..

Seriously I don't care about the clutch.. I knew it was on its way out it was just a matter of time before it went.

You would also have to be one of the few I trust driving my car because I know you have been doing it for so long and I have seen you drive before.

I didn't think you would take it seriously, sorry if you did.

damn....ladies im dissapointed even more so about wasting my tyres last week....hope u guys have fun out there.....missing out big time....still trying to get something organised....

hey corrine u mentioned u knew someone who could get me good tyres for $100ea? or was that someone else?

    • 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).
