Hi All,

The next motoconcepts day @ Eastern Creek is on 20 August, its a half day from 1pm to 5pm.

List price is $150, not sure about the final price for the group or discounts, maybe majanal can confirm when he gets a chance.

So who's coming along?

benm, looking thru the archives, our usual group price is $130 for over 15 cars, $140 for under 15. Even at $150 the price is good compared with, say:

0-15km over $127

15-30km over $203

30-45km over $565

45+km over $1559

Jigga, Eastern Creek lap is about 2min, and there are typically 10-20 cars on the track, so there is plenty of room each. You will come across other cars (or have them come across you) at times depending on how spaced out everyone is. Typically they run 3-4 groups of similar lap times to minimse the traffic.

Normally there are 4x20min sessions, and that is often enough, especially if its your first time out, its hard work for both driver and car!

bri33sta, catch you and Ben there!

Not sure when it applies but also the cost of storage when your car is impounded, plus court fees if applicable, insurance costs when you do get your license back.

Hi guys,

I have spoken to Moto and booked 10 spots (based on the very slow response from you all). As a norm they need a deposit of $50 which I will collect and then send to them in one go. Total cost will be $140. (less than 15 people)

Deposit need to be to me NO LATER than Next Wednesday (13/8/03) as I'll sned the deposits to Moto on Thursday. PM me for account details if you need them.

I don't think I will be attending this day as I need to begin some saving for the world cup (lots of drinking/flying around the country/drinking/meeting people from other countries/drinking/kicking international rugby teams arses/drinking/screaming abuse at opposition and referees/drinking/drinking and I'll probably have a few beers along the way! :D

Ben,

Half days are quite often the best... less time for you to over heat brakes, wear out tyres, break stuff, wear yourself out etc. in fact last track day was the first time I have actually driven in every session on a full day! Also you can say to the doctor you have a dentist appiontment in the arvo and can you take a half day... the response is usually yes!

Interested Drivers:

Duncan (deposit 24/7/03)

Cheers,

Dan.

unbelievable... people go and buy these bloody GTR's ... yes the Race version and then they need to go and add this and that to them for a bloody track day... now I must call all GTR whimps for this... not their owners though!

:bahaha:

looks like a quiet day out there! where's all the team members?

Since there's not many out there, I'll be able to help out with some pointers if anyone is interested.

Prank,

You don't need a sump as the g's you induce on normal road tyres don't cause the oil to tip enough to one side. But I understand it's a precautionary thing as you don't want to pop a motor.

    • 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
