We were there, we got there a bit late, about 11:45, and then we had an issue with the BBQ, one of the fittings didn't fit, so Madaz and I had to drive to Gawler to get the fitting. Cubes, Simon-R32 and co hung around till we got back though (about 1), then we started cooking and couldn't find many people...

I was running a bit late(12:30) , and on my way in I saw at least 6 Skylines coming back towards Adelaide, maybe people couldnt find anyone out there. I saw Mobies on its way out as well at the gates.....

I found them pretty easy though, Simon's Red R32 car was parked on the road in front of the sheds and it was pretty easy to spot.

Bit dissapointing no one really showed up.

Big thanks to Steve and anyone else who helped for the BBQ and drinks.

Cheers

was a good day, had issues with missing badly (vacuum leak), so meant i couldnt go hard on the straights. besides that worked out most handling and braking issues, need harder springs and shocks, SK's GB just isnt enough i dont think, great for the road but showing its weakness on the track with grippy tires.

got the old lady out there in the gold VT, that was good for a laugh :)

yeah shame about that vac leak... I bet your knock sensors were working over time :rofl:

watched you do a lot of laps... car doesnt look like its suffering from lack of spring rate or under dampering issues... it does look more to be a wheel alignment/tyre pressure issue, and maybe push the car a little harder into turn 1 :D FWIW theres minimal body roll on the car considering you were running semi's

Yeh we were there, we parked on the grass section tho! Celica was having a few overheating temps, well what we thought 100deg was a bit hot, but once it hit 100-110 it didn't really go much higher! Track was shithouse tho, oil down at turn 3 and so windy, we were a solid 1 and a half seconds off normal pace, still got a flat 19 but were really looking towards 17s, but hey with this weather cant ask for too much! we even put new springs in th rear which help some of our handeling/understeer!!

Would have come over but we were busy trying different sus setups!!

How did that zip tie hold up Steve??

      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).
