:ph34r: im in for a chance for the hq title (unlikely, but a chance :) ) , phark its gunna be a big day though, definately worth spectating :yes: .... possibly moving to targa next year too :wub:

What will you be driving in targa???

Im looking at getting a drive in the Saloon Cars sometime next year. Unfortanley due to a clutch lever pivot bolt i missed the days racing at symmons which has basically shot the season for me. im still in with a chance for top 3 but might have to settle for 4th (at best). Ive got some funds for improvements but not until next year.

and the Feb meeting will be a HUGE one aswell, being the 50th anniversary of Baskerville.

well..... what a R$#$%$%#%$#^%$#%$#&%$#&%$#^%#^% of a #%^#$#%$^#^$% day i had!!!!!

the most frustrating day. had a electrial problem (finally found to be the battery kill switch). fixed it in time for the last race, then the meeting was red flagged, cancelled due the diabolical weather. so i got to do about 3-4 laps. before that the wind broke the tent, i ripped my earring out, looked at the lap time the others did and if id gone as well as i can, i might of been 3rd on the grid and may of had a good day instead of the complete waste of time i had. and to top it all off i have been on the loo all day. but hey, there are worse off people than me.

HAH!! sounds like you had a good day like me :blink: . i qualified 9th with a stuffed fuel pump and no brakes witth 1/2 a second between me and 3rd, but it all started when i jumped in my tow bus to drive to the track and found a flat battery :P it didnt get any better from there on :(, i even managed to get slammed off the track by my own team mate :wave:

      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).
