Hi Everyone

Sorry to let you all know that we can no longer run our Friday Night Track Driving sessions at Sandown Raceway.

Those of you that have booked and paid for positions on upcomming dates will have their fees refunded.

Of course our weekend and weekday trackdays will continue.

Kind regards

Kev

That sucks... I was really wanting to get to these once my car was back. :D

Was the noise measured and was therefore found to be above a certain db limit before the decision was made to tell you to cancel it?

Was the option of allowing this event to continue with stricter noise limitations in place entertained?

As far as you know was it just a case of a few residents calling up their local authorities saying that it's too loud??

Very disappointing indeed.

Not as if Sandown was there AFTER they moved in.

Its thier own fault!

thats right, they knew what they were getting themselves in to when they bought the house. Farkin nerve to then complain about it. STUPID PEOPLE!

i would love to live next to sandown :D

I used to live a reasonable way from Calder, and on a warm night with little wind or the wind blowing towards my place...

I could hear the top fuellers back in the mid 90's before Bob ruined the party...

I couldnt think of anything better to listen too! Motorsport fans should live near motorsport tracks - pansys should live near a nursery

All those people bought their properties at a much cheaper price back in the day because of that very reason, they were supposed put up with the noise. And now all this crap, after they get cheap property they start bitching. I live 2min from Sandown and it really is not that loud on Friday nights nor is it too late to start complaining or making a big issue out of it, they knew what they were getting themselves into 10 years ago when they were buying their properties.

This is so gay ,

Im with ash on this one .

would the residents prefer we do dounuts in there street, so fkn sick of seeing today tonight and 60 minutes doing stories on " hoons " zooming up and down ppls streets and then wen we go to a race track and not throuh there front fence they still crack the shits and complain.

MASSIVE cruise needs to be organised run it through as many of the nearby streets as possiable. ???

Stuff this , im going to make a few phone calls to the ppl deemed " important " in that area and see where they would prefer us to race .........

    • 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
