Hey Ben!

yeah it was a good day, it cleared up a bit in the arvo which was great!!

And as you can see from one of the photos, I had a bit of an incident! :) lol

edit - just had a look at natsoft, w00t, under 40 seconds!!

No worries guys, nice to meet you too. Glad you all had a good day & braved the ordinary looking weather.

The event ran well, with no problems or serious 'offs'. Quite a few spins, but everyone drove themself back out again... thumbs up to the dude in the big tank fairlane thing (the big red/black thing in the background of one the pics) who was doing some impressive dorifto action around the back of the track!

how many runs did you all end up getting?

great day to get out and have some fun, bloody slippery in the morning (or does the back end of a skyline just experience some sort of mythical attraction for the edge of the track :rofl:) but the rain stopped mid-morning and it dried out. I finally got a couple of decent "grip" runs in around 2/2:30 and was happier with my line towards the end. No idea about times, if anyone has them fill me in :D

No spins, but some rather interesting moments heading into the first corner. Great day though, thanks to frogman for posting details and good to see everyone :D

Yeah, had a great day, considering the weather.

Dissapointed that we couldn't get a second run in the motorkhana. I will be doing the dash lap next time only.

Loved doing skids in 2WD mode.......

Chris, no problems mate.

Could not believe the amount off mud that was collected, after hosing down....

heres the results from Natsoft, but doesnt have cars listed :D

I think 1st & 2nd were VWs, then Chris(Skyline) then another VDub, then the blue VW/WRX. Should know more after tonights presentation/dinner...

    • 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).
