Hey... did everyone know that at the end of the August there is a Club sprint- saturday and Drift Meet- Sunday at the Ipswich Raceway... It should be a awsome weekend and we already have plans to have a few cars entered... hopefully pete will have his rev monsta back together... and the Cefiro is just begging to be driven hard at a track meet... at the moment it looks like we will head down Friday and home monday. For anyone interested contact Jay or myself and we will get you exact dates and we will hopefully be able to convoy down... It should be an interesting trip down anyway... oh... and expect a stop at Broadwater Carpark for a perve...

the rumour on the street is that at the next test and tune at benaraby we might have some double GTR action... although I think rick should reconsider and go down as well... Willo vs Dev vs Rick... now that should be neat to watch... top entertainment as far as the FRIs go... actually I think if we all hit the scene a bit we could make a fairly good impact on the Drag Scene at Benaraby... as long as the camary wagons don't beat us!!! that must have been annoying to all the Import racers that weekend... an auto Camary wagon taking home the win... anyway we might have to put a stop to that...

Another question for all... Does anyone know if there is a Skyline getting around Rocky using Nitros... A mate from the Automatic Shop told us that they filled a bottle (the automatic shop fill Nitros bottles : shamless plug ) for a guy in a four door Skyline that was headed to the Drags... now take this as a ruff description because he called it a GTR... but then said he didn't know that there were skylines other than GTR's... so if anyone knows if there is a Skyline running NOS on the weekend... or what times he/she ran... please post your info...

Anyways guys any info on upcoming events and action can be put in here... so have fun and don't be scared to tackle tuff issues in this site... just be prepared, and have your facts firmly based with books/sites to back you up... other than that it is free for all...

he he... I think your Val might need some bigger sidewalls to get the traction action happening... 18" wheels smoke like no tomorrow... I'm almost through a set of Nankangs already... it is a downer... they are cheap but still a little more expensive then 16" Feds...

Hey... I'm getting my Intercooler soon... he he he... that is me giggling like a little girl...

it'll be nice going as quick in the day as in the night...

oh... and the microtech might happen one day soon... I was running ok MPH and hopefully with a good traction run... a good tune, including microtech install (happening by my Bundy Mate as soon as the cooler kit happens) aiming for a 12... although it'll be harder than it sounds... and then the real fun begins...

actually talking of fun I heard that a certain big dollar GTR got it's arse handed to it by one very budget SR20 in a Stanza... that's what I hear anyway...

aparently Theo got chopped big time by the Stanza of Glen Hooper... you all know of Glen... he has the $4000 stanza and is a Microtech Wizz Kid... It definatly puts the big dollar GTR to shame... although I'm tipping the Stanza isn't quite as Circuit friendly as Theo's GTR... imagine trying to stop a Stanza from 300 Kph.... scary thought in my mind...

What GTR's have you got down that way? any serious ones or just stockers? Came through rocky about 6 weeks ago on a thursday night after getting some work done to my skyline on the gold coast , just about every car there was racing at the lights near our motel and I thought townsville was bad!

Hi everyone, just a update on what's going on with this Motokhana. The cost for the day is over $100 and so really too expensive however I am trying to organise some interested people to come down and spectate and show support so that when we run another one up here at Gracemere it will be at a cheaper cost.

It sucks, I won't be able to make it to the test and tune on the 16th. I was really looking forward to it but I need to do some CAMS training down in Gladstone instead.

Oh and having a head cold really SUCKS!:(

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
