Wheres a good spot to get a Cams approved helmet from?

Go for Revolution Racegear or Autosport - but you can use ADR compliant helmets, which generally means you can use most if not all motorbike helmets.

Any helmet with the ADR approved sticker will do Luke.

Depends how fusssy you are on a helmet but you can spend anything from $50 to $1000 for a helmet.

Yay for cross drilled rotors on shitty metal. What brand rotors? I usually only go slotted but have to make note of what x-drilled rotors get fatigue like that....

Was a wicked day - ran a 1:17:01 as the quickest, and no matter what I did I couldn't crack a 16!!! Was great to get back on the track again - Dstroy did really well to keep that beast on the circuit with all the sliding around you were getting!!!!!!

I was running a fairly worn out set of RE55s bridgestones on 33GTR rims - 255x45x17. Brake pads are street spec at each end, although I do have AP brakes at the front, braided lines and brake ducts too. I didn't have any issues with oil venting into the catch can - but I never have. I reckon it might have collected maybe 100ml over the course of the day (6x15min sessions).

Can't wait to get out there again!!!!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).

      Unpeeling the Orange

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
