i emailed terry the other day and he told me there were no spots left.....what's the story?

Yeah all spots gone so its $200 for the day for those that got in.!! $200 for a open day is a bargain.

If you missed out come down for a free joy ride.

No cash has left my hands yet, Need some stuff done to the car and watching for the weather, I wont run at a 30Deg + day.

Bonks, will pop out at a minimum, but I am planning to drive.

Excellent - look forward to seeing you!

If it rains I will be there pay my $200 and take the place of the fags that are scared of a little wet weather. Either way I will be out on the day. I hope to do my thing and pay for a slot once the first car pops or looses it.

  • 2 weeks later...

Oh I WISH my car was going... would come down for the day anyway, but the boss is away and it's overtime for me in the morning... next one that is on someone please RING ME!!!!

2002 reunion, and I'm gonna miss it. :P

LOL, I can't believe it... B-man might even be there. :thumbsup:

Bonkers, fatz, kero, OZ, there is not too many missing.

And the original stomping ground... shame EC hate drifting hey Fatz...

Top Gear crew will be filming before and after on the day - so maybe i will pick up the shitter pete - they would lovethat kind of shit. :devil:

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.
1) We have a full field of 50 cars now that those who have dropped out are replaced with those on standby.

2) Please make sure you bring the completed forms with you AND your CAMS license plus club member card. They should both be current. Some folks forget to insert the new bits.

3) Passengers only need to have filled in and signed the form, plus have the right helmet and clothes to get an armband from us at Garage 50. They should see Val Stewart, she is the pretty one, Drivers have to see me, the ugly old grump sitting next to her.

4) There will be no fuel available at the track as the stock on hand is reserved for BMW next week.

BYO please, It’s cheaper that way. Refuelling must be out the back of the garages. NO SMOKING !

5) Tony Thorne will be in charge of Pit Lane and will give a run down at the drivers briefing to cover the

new automatic lights around the track at flag points. If we get a radio call from the spotters on the hills

he can switch on yellow or red lights right around the circuit or just in one spot. It may replace flaggies

at club events one day so this will give you a chance to get used to it.

6) Age limit on passengers is 14 YO according to ARDC rules.

7) Experienced Drivers may ride as passengers in the one hour sessions to give helpful tips etc.

8) During those one hour passenger sessions only cars with passengers will be allowed out and no passengers in the half hour sessions. Those are for full speed work.

9) If your L2S or renewal license has not arrived from CAMS you should follow it up and get an email or fax to prove that it is in progress. They do have some problems in Melbourne HO. I cannot take your word for it I am afraid. Too many people have lied to me over the years.

10) We understand that the Top Gear guys will be on track up to 9AM and after 5PM doing filming. If they hang around please be nice to them as we may get some publicity for club level motorsport. If they sign on you will be permitted to take them as passengers. Who knows, you could end up a TV Star.

11) And now, the schedule, Lets’ assume that a bunch of you will be super keen, get there early, be all signed up and ready to go. We will do the driver briefing at 8.45 AM (not 9 AM) and have you ready to go out when Top Gear is finished.

Session 1 – 9 AM - 30 minutes for Race Cars with slicks IE The serious fast cars. (Type 1)

Session 2 – 9.30 AM – 30 minutes for Road Cars and those who wish to go with them. (Type 2)

Session 3 – 10 AM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passengers at reduced pace.

Session 4 – 11 AM – 30 minutes for Type 1 cars

Session 5 – 11.30 AM – 30 minutes for Type 2 cars

Session 6 – 12 noon – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Also remember that at 12 .30 to 1 the Prod Sports folks are to break for lunch and their presentations.

Others who have paid for lunch may choose to eat between 12 and about 1.30 when the Caterers finish.

Session 7 – 1 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars (yes we swap them around after lunch)

Session 8 – 1.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 9 – 2 PM – 60 minutes for all cars to take passenger rides

Session 10 – 3 PM – 30 minutes for type 2 cars

Session 11 – 3.30 PM – 30 minutes for type 1 cars

Session 12 – 4.PM – 60 minutes for all cars to do final passenger rides.

5 PM close of proceedings on track.

That is a possible 6 hours on track if you can muster up enough passengers so bring fuel with you.

I intent to arrive at about 10 with the car ready to go, and pay my money once the first breakdown occurs. This is unless fatz cant find me a spot. Worst case the car stays in the car park and I get to go for a squirt with the boys.

    • 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).
