Hey all,

We are considering holding a girls only drift day at Archerfield to give an oppurtunity for girls to learn drifting without the intimidating males watching! lol It will be held on the long weekend in June on the Monday (public holiday - will confirm dates and inform you) There will be advanced drifters there to help out and give advice as well as guys there to help out with all the car stuff us girls might not know! At the moment, we are just taking names and numbers of people that are interested and want to do it so that we can get a rough idea on how many will be attending so that we can cater for them! It won't be too expensive and it will be from about 12pm-4pm with arrival allowed earlier to give a chance to set up! Please, get involved! We are now taking pre-entries on the Option1Garage website to get details of interested drivers and numbers - http://www.option1garage.com.au/ArcherfieldDrift.htm (Just put "Girl's Day" in event day and date.) If you have been wanting to learn to drift but have never had the chance.. this is it! For more information, please call me at Option1 on 3268 1113.

Emma.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea, i've never done it before but wouldn't mind giving it a go when the sil80 is up and running. I'd be in for one, but I wouldn't be able to commit for about a month or so, no guarantees as to when the car will be finished ;) I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting a bunch of lassies together. Make sure you post it on Drivn by Heels too :bunny:

Hey Anna,

Yes I'm putting this event on Drivn by Heels as soon as I get my account activated :P It will be on the Monday 9th June (still to be confirmed) - I hope you can make it. Please pass the word around as if we don't get the minimum number of ladies (20) out there we aren't going to run it :woot:

Emma.

id definately be interested depending on costs of course

Hey,

Good to hear! If you pre-enter on the website so we have all your contact details etc. that would be great. It won't be as expensive as a QR event but I can't confirm a price just yet as we do need a few more people pre-entered!

Thanks,

Emma.

Kk guys, we have got enough cars now to say that the day will definately be going ahead :woot: I will be putting together an email shortly with more information on the event including costs, times, etc. There have also been a few sponsors offering their support so there will be a couple of prizes to be won :)

Ok, more info:

Every driver is allowed to bring 2 spectators only. No other persons will be allowed to enter. This will keep the number of spectators low so the day can be focussed purely on driver training.

Cost - $80 inc. driver training from our experienced instructors (Includes 2 spectators)

11:00am - Gates will open for driver set up and preparation.

11:30am - Driver's briefing aand instructor introduction.

12:00pm - Track will be open for practice.

4:00pm - Track will close.

4:15pm - Presentation of prizes.

Please bring:

Helmet

Spare tyres

Appropriate footwear and clothing

Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions you may have - Option1Garage 3268 1113.

Pre-entry and pre-payment is essential, please see our website for account details (Contact Us section). www.option1garage.com.au

Thanks,

Emma.

so what date is this exactly?

and when is last date for pre-registration?

It is on Monday 9th June - Queen's Birthday Public Holiday

The last pre-registration will be taken at lunch time on Saturday 7th June! To guarantee your spot on the day, we are taking pre-payments now also so that on the day we won't have to worry about any of the paperwork/money, just straight onto the track! :wave:

    • 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).
