Yeah what a great event! cheap, easy on the car, well run and a real challenge. i've seen the large freak's photos, hoping someone caught me when i had the fuel spraying out the filler neck (gotta remember to put those things back on!) are pics going in this forum or a different spot? thebuzz, i was meaning to come over and say hi, how's your datto going?

Great pics mate, thanks for posting them up.

Lagwagon, haven't done much with the Datsun lately, been doing heaps with the GT-R instead, haven't driven it for a few months... Might try and give it a run in the evening sometime soon now that daylight savings is here. Would have been a bit of fun out there yesterday hehe

What a top day.....best $75 I've spent in a while :)

Well where do I start.....a big thank you to the organizers and volunteers of the event as it was very well run. There was a fair wait in between runs but that was a reflection of the quantity of cars rather than the runnings of the day as there were 70odd cars there.

It was my first time at the new morwell hillclimb and I must say that it looked a little daunting from the carpark...tight, technical in parts and huge elevation changes. I had heard the stories of cars having stacks on it and when I was introduced to 'oh sh1t' corner it all made sense and the tyre scars on the grass confirmed the stories :0 Despite this and the fact that something like an evo or well sorted wrx has the upper hand here the track proved to be a great place to hussle a GTR around :)

I started off taking it fairly easy with a first run of 1:04something but I was able to knock time off every pass with my last run resulting in a best of 58.50. Here are a couple of incar vids:

This is my 1:00.07 pass with a good drift moment 2 corners after 'oh sh1t':

1:00.07

This is my next pass at 59.51:

59.51

and the last one I captured (vid battery died for my run after this) with a little off track excursion ;) which resulted in a 58.68:

58.68

I did a 58.50 in my last run without the little off track excursion but I do feel that there is more time to be found esp if you have adjustable suspn.

Also thanks to Ryan (Belsil80) without our little battle in the arvo I doubt we would've pushed ourselves to get the times we did (check the results to see how close we were pass after pass) but you should've known that the GTR would neva loose in the end :(

Good pics so far big bird but I want to see some sideways action ;)

agh I had to pull out due to illness, then proceeded to cut my hand open washing dishes yesterday needing 5 stitches... what a weekend

ah well there is always next year, good work on the times Ryan and Ant, very impressed

the pics are making me depressed, looks like a beautiful day/track for some fanging

It was a great day, though I'm absolutely fried... first day in the sun has taken it's toll!

Great track though, can't wait to get the 180 out onto it. Will definately give me more confidence knowing I don't have to drive it to work on Monday :P

Top shots as well Jarrod, nice one.

Nick: Nasty weekend for you mate!

    • 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
