I have the two Group A touring car support races from the 1992 Australian Grand Prix meeting in full and good quality. Good ol' Jimmy Richards won both of them. I'm literally about to head out the door right now but tomorrow [pending an extreme hangover] I'll have a lash at uploading them somewhere and post the link here for youse. Have a good one!

Good man :rolleyes: Id be keen to see them...

Skyliners, I'm uploading these 1992 Australian Grand Prix Group A races in segments [and in order]. Segments are around 100MB each [approx. 10mins], and there will be 5 all up. It'll probably be into tonight before all of them have been uploaded but it will be worth the wait, I promise. I will eventually whack these on YouTube but for now, feel free to just download the original files here and then you'll have them to enjoy anytime you want. If you don't have broadband or bandwidth to burn, PM me and I'll try to sort something out for you. I do have these races floating around on a DVD somewhere so if anyone is interested I'll try to track it down.

Commentary from Mark Skaife and big Darrell Eastlake. It's gonna be HUUUUUUUUGE!

When the page loads, you have to scroll right to the bottom and wait for the file info to load. Then click on the link next to 'Save file to PC'. Enjoy!

Hey thanks targethonda.

These clips are awesome

Did u notice in race 1 part 1, that when Skaiffe is talking to Eastlake he didn't actually say that he was looking forward to racing a holden next year?!

All he said was that he was sad to see the Nissans go! :D

no worries bigslick, glad you like em. The final part should be up sometime soon.

Yeah, interesting point on the commentary! Also in race number 2, Darrell refers to the Nissan as a "GTS" throughout the entire thing. I don't know why cuz he said "GTR" all through race 1 without a problem! Oh he's a quality kid that Mr Eastlake.

oki doki, here's the final piece of the puzzle - race 2, part 2

I hope youse all enjoyed this footage. I reckon the R32 is still the meanest mofo of a GTR in terms of looks and sounds, but that's just me.

Cheers,

    • 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).
