Ivan i will DEFINATELY be up for another meet!!! 17 runs for $85.. can't argue with that.

Doesn't bother me if i was nearly the slowest hippy. I enjoyed maself and did better than the time I wanted to do :P

U can run whatever PSI u like in a car with stuff all power :) It doesn't make a difference when you can hardly get em spinnin anyways :D hehe

Hippy - sorry we didnt catch up dude - I saw you rock up (you parked over with the Skyline group right?) and I called out over the p.a. but I dont think u heard me

Maxx - sorry, I thought your car was Bugalugs' for a while there cos I couldn't see your front bumper from the commentators angle - nice front bumper there anyhow (intersting an R32 GTR style bumper on an R33) - I love that bar!

Henry - nice time man!!! - you almost caught me :D .... thanks - the commentating was crap but we did what we could :) .... thanks to Ricky for his help too!

Joel/Clint I agree too ... later in the year would be better - like October/November, where we're pretty much guaranteed no rain (wasn't the weather good to us today?!!!), and so we can all have time to get our lines in order :P

Timmmayyy - nice time for the old 3lt n/a - did you like the plugs I was giving you all the time? :)

You shoulda had your radio tuned in to the AIR station (I assume it was broadcasting?) .... that's what I always do when I race so I can hear real-time what's going on! (60', 1/4 time etc)

yeah andrew i was there and u did see me but i rudely didn't say hello because u were always busy chatting with someone so i dind't want to butt in and i parked outside cause i didn't know how to get in there hehe ... and i had the white jacket with blue/red stripes down the side ... and most of the time i was standing next to the track so i couldn't head **** all ... i was deaf from that red mazda rotary with 10 metre wide slicks :P ... and i think keirs 32gtr finished my ears off :D

and yeah must admit weather was pretty good .. not tooo hot .. but my damn camera ran out of batteries or i would of taken pics of every car there .. oh well

Hey people

i was the man holding the flag for the late model 4dr skyline

had a great day

got some good practice and take offs and so on

got time down to 14.1 with rt of .489 with 2.1 60ft at 98mph

very keen for another with few more mods

Erin

Firstly I would like to thank all involved in organising the day. I had never dragged proper before and wasnt keen on attending a normal street meet. My car is the Grey R33 mpg posted in a previous thread by GFXman.

My first run ever: 60' - 2.898 (yuck, wheel spin) with ET of 15.405

and MPH 88.72

My best : 60' - 2.1 flat, ET of 13.694 at 102.82 mph.

For my car this maybe should have been closer to the other similar modded Skylines of Freebaggin and Bugalugs more stock freakish 95 model who both got in the 13.4's. However in comparison to their cars reaching the 105mph consistantly I couldnt get more than 102 mph. I tried shifting earlier and later and made little difference. Something to look at in the future.

I wont even start with my day:mad: The best I could manage was 14.3 110mph with the whole rear end jumping around. Couldnt even get it on full boost. 3 runs for $85 not happy hope we have another one of these days so I can make up for it in the end. Apparantly the high light of my car was the huge flame on the first run?

Really good day guys..

I think we got there a bit late and missed a few of you guys run.

Something is VERY wrong with my car. There is a fuel leak somewhere.. so no runs for me.

I was looking forward to seeing your car race matt.. everytime I have seen it its been parked! Maybe next time

    • 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).
