Will throw them up when I get home, can't do shit at work. It was only the wet track though, real last minute thing aye (pulled the shaft out at 3pm, drifting started at 5). Should be able to hit up the big big track (Eastern Creek itself) in a few months time hopefully.

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

I took my 1 week old Stagea drifting on Friday night at EC.

Rock up to the gates, 1st security guard asks if I was spectating, I said "nah, I'm drifting". Security guard 1 pauses and then says ok and lets me through.

drive down to the pitlane and security guard 2 asks if I was spectating, I gave him the same reply, Security guard 2 was stunned and asked "YOUR DRIFTING THAT THING?!" my reply was, "yep, just watch me" ;) And I did just that, drifted a stock, automatic Stagea ... it was good fun! :teehee:

That was an interesting video a while back where the Japanese guy was drifting an auto. He had the foot/handbrake set up so he could left foot the rears.

yeah, I know which one your talking about ... he used a cigerette packet to wedge the brake release didn't he? I did that too haha. I've never really used handbrake as a form of initiation before though. My Mazda's handbrake was shithouse (as they are). Don't really need the handbrake for the wet pan, just power out and hold on!

Oh yeah, theres some pictures of me sliding the boat on my website, which happens to be in my sig.

edit: work likes my site now ... cool.

I've had my C34 for about a month now and had plenty of "WTF is that?", "look at the Skyline wagon", "Nice Volvo mate" (mainly from the guys at work giving me shit) but today I got my first "What make of car is that?" from a guy delivering junk mail. To which I replied, it's a Nissan. Then he says "looks like half a hurse, looks good in black though!" I don't think I'll ever get tired of the humor associated with the uninformed people of this world. 

The Carpark caretaker under my work decided it would be funny to assign this to the car park next to mine.

He said "i thought you would like having you sister from another mister next to you"

That new grille of yours is crying out for a diagonal chrome bar, Aaron...:whistling:

At least the guy's got a sense of humour!

lol i was actually thinking of getting a Volvo Badge for the rear. they're the same size.

or getting a 'LOLVO' one made up for teh lulz.

yeh hes a good asset to the carpark - owns a VERY VERY loud torana apparently pushing excess of 500hp atw. looks insane though regardless of power.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
