yeah sorry my car aint making it this year, the engine is still not sealed so we are way out of time. will be sealed next week and in the car the weekend after but even then there is a whole heap to tidy up.

all the best, i hope its a great success because I want to give it a run next year ;)

Thanks Duncan. It shaping up for a great weekend.

My MR2 is in pieces and will not be ready till later this year so Im leasing a drive for the race.

We are planning a 300km race for Eastern Creek next year so you wont have to wait till November for a 300km enduro. We were also looking at Winton but its very hard to organise as the track is already booked out for next year.

Good luck with the build up and hope to see it on the track soon.

Cheers

Steve

could be a winner. I have a full set of brembos in the garage. with new project mu race pads and rotors too.... now all we need is the car. luckily it cheaper than the brembos!

Yes leasing is a great option.

Im looking into a future racer for the weekend.

Its $4000 for the weekend for the car,pit crew and team manager.

With 3 drivers it works out OK.

Even with two its ok based on the fact you arrive and drive. No set ups, endless hours prepping the car, towing it to the track, pit crew plus plenty more.

I show up, jump in a car with a pit crew ready including team manager and go racing.

Anyone seriously interested in joining in??

  • 3 weeks later...

The Wakefield 300 turned out to be a great race.

I managed some footage which is available on my youtube site. The link is http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CViGljv2H1k

It would have been great to see a gtr,silvia, subaru,evo and mr2 battling it out with the top teams over the weekend

MAybe next year..

We will have a dedicated site up and runnig inthe near future for those interested in being involved at any level in Australia's only 300km enduro for everyone

cheers

Steve

Will Duncan. The site will be up and running in a few weeks. No excuses for next year. It will be great to see GTR,RX7,MR2,WRX,EVO battling it out for honours next year!!

Did you watch the clip I have on youtube?

skylines are not eligible for bathurst 12 hours or the national production car series - the car has to be within 5 years from new and sold in Aus (unless its a holden in which case the rules will be changed for it).

skylines are welcome in the NSW state production car series though

I was referring to the camry comment, not the GTR.

I well aware of what can and cannot run at Bathurst 12hr/Production car series. You can run R33/R34 skylines in Production Sports. I had a conversation with the president of Production sports a few years ago when I was toying with the idea of building one for racing. Instead of the R33 Im building a MR2 turbo atm to run in Production Sports which will be an experience.I dont expect to all that competitive but gives a me a chance to run with a great class of cars and have some fun. Its also aimed at the W300 for next year.

I heard a rumour there may be a 300km race at EC on the same format as the W300 for next year. If I hear more on it I will let you know.

Cheers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
