”THE GODFATHER” CONFIRMED FOR 2008

Slide-FX Racing management are pleased to announce Danny “The Godfather” Vahoumis as the new driver for the 2008 Drift Season.

In what has been an enormous task Danny Vahoumis has been chosen over many notable applicants for the hotly contested fourth driver position. For the first time in his long and distinguished driving career, Vahoumis will take the reigns of a fully prepared vehicle to take on the best Australia has to offer in the Toyo Drift Australia series.

Danny Vahoumis : “ Absolutely awesome is all I can say, I went into the expression of interest stage thinking there was no way I would be able to compete with the youngsters of today, but they believe I have the ability to take the team to another level with my experience. I have to thank the team management for believing I can help with their program and championship aspirations for 2008, now I cant wait for the start of the season and get the development program underway for the new cars which is really exciting. It’s the first time I ever I will be able to concentrate on my driving and not have to worry about all the mechanical stuff as well. SFX have assembled a fantastic team on and of the track for 2008, they have great facilities and the ability to build good equipment to have a red hot go at the championship.”

Glenn Campbell CEO: “We had a lot options on the table after receiving many expressions of interest from the driving ranks. Danny Vahoumis’ application came a little out of the blue but when he threw his hat into the ring it automatically got us thinking what was possible. Danny has a proven track record in the category, sponsors are attracted to him with his enigmatic personality and lets face it when you are developing new equipment there is no better person out there that can give good feed back and has the mechanical knowledge like he does. We are extremely pleased with his addition to the team and firmly believe with the right equipment and backing “The Godfather” “Borneo” “Lap Dance” Rance and Clint Brown will be the ideal team line-up for our team in 2008.”

SFX Racing is set to announce the all new car line-up for 2008 in the coming weeks, this will be an exciting time for the team with 4 brand new cars being developed in-house by the SFX engineering team. 2008 will also be exciting for the drift fans with SFX Racing being the first million dollar drift team on Australian shores, this go’s to show drift is only getting bigger and better and there is no time like now to check out this fantastic show.

    • 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).
