Hi Everyone

Just thought I'd let you know that we'll be running a skidpan day at Oran Park on Sunday 19th October.

We'll be running a morning session from 9.00 am until 12.00pm and an afternoon session from 12.30pm until 4.30pm.

The morning session will be limited to 6 drivers, and the afternoon session will be limited to 8 drivers, so you'll get plenty of driving time.

Cost per driver is $150

This course will be conducted by well known Sydney Advanced Driving Instructor, John Boston

The format we run to is pretty simple...

Brief classroom session

The rest of the time is spent driving practising skid control skills on the skidpan, we will also be running 'motorkhana' type exercises, most of you will be familiar with John, he runs a great program for us in Sydney.

One car on the skidpan at a time.

Note that we will be using water on the skidpan to minimise tyre wear.

If you'd like to come along please shoot us an email [email protected]

or give Tessa a call during office hours on 1300 652 693

Kind regards

Kev

pencil me in for the morning session.

will organise payment closer to event.

Thanks for your interest Nismo_God, but just letting you know that we dont pencil people in for any of our days, not saying you wont turn up but plenty of people have let us down in the past.

We dont hold spots for drivers who haven't paid a deposit.

Kind regards

Kev

Wooooooooooo!

Last one was heaps of fun, im in! In for morning session

Will send money and paperwork in the next few days

Happy Bday Kev!!! Ill shout you a drink at DECA :P

Cheers mate

Oh doh!! would love to do this but will be doing Super Sprint on Oran Park South instead :) Will definately come over this time and say Hi at lunch! :banana:

You better... :D

See you all when we get there.

Oh yeah.. Can you make sure there is no rain this time..

I've been waiting for one of these for ages! There's always been some reason why I couldn't make it but this time I finally can. Hopefully all the spots aren't taken already.

Please put me down as a definite. Morning session is preferred but will happily accept the afternoon session otherwise. I've just sent through an email too.

Thanks!

    • 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).
