yeah, not needed for this, but as ports says it's a good idea anyway as there are no marshalls at these days which means if your car catches on fire all you'll be able to do is stand there and watch it burn.

i reccomend the BFI 1kg one. if puts out 4 times as much "stuff" as the other 1 kilo ones I've seen and owned.

so johnny, are you going to take off your slippers and come out? If I can drag my battle scared GTR out, surely you can wheel out the love boat for a play?

I was talking to Jason this morning and he reckons you are a bit scared of his GTR, but you should come out anyway just so he can show you the lines etc.

That is gold the slippers and the cardigan. GTR Jason is on the phone giving me a rev as we speak. You guys are sort of going about it the wrong way though. Try angle that Zeds are boats and drivers can't drive and they just look good.

i was going to try the all show no go line, but for that to work your car would have to be good looking...

but I guess at least if you come out I wont be the slowest guy on the track.

like I always say, if you can't be the part, look the part. and I certainly look the part...

I am 90% sure that I will be there tomorrow.

For those going, come and say Hi, even though I don’t drive a Skyline. It will be my first time on this track, so would be keen to pick up some tips and suggested lines.

Dam - sounds like a good day - wish I could make it :laugh:

So tempting but simply too hard and can not go. Got way too much on with getting new shop ready and dyno room for this Sat SAU dyno day. Would love to come out and chop GTR Jason again, well at least give it a good go. Also preping car for Circuit Battle next week at Wakey. Sounds like a great bunch of candidates going and perfect weather and conditions too. Ports and maybe Wizard my Zed buddies I think are going and give these Skyline boys a run.

Top day it was good to streatch the legs of the GTR, and do it without loss of licence. Big day with respect to numbers, it was the fullest I have ever seen OP, still good value for $120!

See you all next time.

Apollo,

I will post up the insurance name once my friend gets back to me.

Thanks

      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).
