Im guessing you were out there?

thats your car in your avatar thingy? The white 32? Might have been your car i was checkin out then.

If it was u lol, i was parked pretty much opposite your shed lol

Well thanks for the compliments, its always good to know I am doing allright, it was an awesome day, the instructors were fantastic,

McKinnen was pushing my limits and the tandems with him were just the highlight of the day, just with those few runs with him,

I learnt more than all the practice days I ve been out there put togheter.

Was hoping to see more fellow SAUers out there but hey

Yes, been out there many times, just keeping a low profile you know, hahaha

BTW, didnt know Mike was taking pictures, I saw him just helping out with the organizers and all, so, pretty happy with the few pics from him.

Cheers

Oi Ric, you were doin sick out there, definitely one of the standouts. You have to start your scando earlier though, you're not scrubbing off enough speed by the time you're getting to turn 1. Tandems at the next prac!

Thanks mate, but yes its true what you say about the entry to turn 1, tried different entries angles, speeds, but somehow I seemed to keep running wide.

I have to start it earlier as you said, I am just afraid Im going to be short and hit the ripple strip at turn one and flip the car :(

Thats why I wanted to get some footage to see what I am doing wrong, anyone? :(

Definatelly tandems next practice day!

Nah, you wont roll on that ripple strip, I've slammed that so many times it's not funny, you just get a bit of air :( If you're heading towards the ripple strip though, just grab the handbrake and you'll be right :(

Have a look for some vids on youtube and see where all the good guys are entering, and then go a bit later than them, that's what I did. Or follow me at the next prac, I'm still not doing huge ones.

      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).
