unfortunately the blue one crashed quite heavily into the bank on the outside of the 2nd loop, damaging the front right suspension and bumper. There's photos of it in automopho's gallery if you really want to see that.

rapid 180SX automopho p13

and my new car at its first event. ran a 46.86 yesterday which not as quick as my old GTR yet (46.2), but still has lots of potential left in it. much more difficult to drive at this tight technical track than the GTR was.

Good to see some more late model turbo cars coming out these days! The 180SX was running pretty good times, and the white GTR was also going well. The guy in the blue one hadn't beenthere before and was looking better on each run until he unfortunately overdid it a bit. Hope they keep coming back - they've got the power to be challenging the class record when they get more familiar with the track.

Hi Michael, the hillclimb is owned and run by the MG Car Club. www.mgccq.org.au they have a calendar and email contact details there for more info on their events.

You need to join a CAMS affiliated car club and get a CAMS licence $88. The Club you join can give you the form, or you can download it from CAMS website. you can get a list of Clubs here. Holden, Northern Districts, MG, Gold Coast Tweed, and Aus All Rally Group are some of the cheaper clubs - around $50.

other than that all you really need is a helmet, long sleeve cotton shirt and jeans, non-synthetic shoes (canvas, leather), and some basic safety gear for the car - a fire extinguisher, and a blue triangle to mark the position of the battery. That's it!

would be good to see more Skylines/GTRs out there. They have a Come and Try day on Sunday, 30th September. You can get more info from [email protected]. They're always popular, so it pays to register interest early. Good way to get a feel for the track without any pressure, and with some very fast/experienced drivers to give tips and some local knowledge. normally get alot of laps in too, whereas a hillclimb event you normally only get 4 or 5 runs. The next hillclimb event is the week before that on the 23rd of Sept if you can't wait or want to get straight into the competition side of it. They also have a sprint at QR on the 22nd if that interests you.

      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).
