Well we've conquered the circuit racing / sprints scene at QR (but alot of you have probably still never heard of us!) so now we want to get known by getting into the drift scene :D our workshop is located in Coorparoo.

we would like to sponsor an amateur drift driver who lives in the Brisbane area.

the driver we choose gets free labor for all servicing, mechanical repairs and performance upgrades to ensure we keep the car running for entry in drift practices and events.

in return we would require that you regularly enter and drive in drift practice events at Queensland Raceway, drive in other local drift days, and make appearances at local cruises and dyno days etc.

we would also require the car to have our workshop signage that would be similar to the following logo:

the car would need to be presentable and the driver would need to show a high level of ability.

if this sounds like something you would like to do, send me a pm and tell me a little about your car. you will need to enter your car in the Friday night drift practice at QR on Jan 18th 2008 where I will be able to check out your driving style.

seasons greetings :P

Registering to Try out for the Sponsorship

you can either register on the night by coming to see me on pit wall at the exit of turn 6 or by sending me a pm.

details I need are your Name, Car, Suburb and Mobile No.

after the Jan 18 drift night we will contact the driver and also post the selected driver in this thread.

good luck to everyone! :)

we are still looking for someone to sponsor. I will be out at QR again this Friday night for those who are interested.

I am also interested in looking at guys competing at archerfield. anyone who is interested, send me a pm to arrange a viewing.

by the way, I competed at Morgan Park supersprints on the weekend and finished 6th in class, which wasnt a bad effort considering the competition which included 2 GT40s and an ex Carrera Cup Porsche GT3 Race Car.

well done Peter , was there any other Jap cars running ?

yes there were a couple of silvias, two or three R33s, a couple of EVOs, a couple of WRX STis, and a whole bunch of 240Z - 260Zs.

      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).
