omg so buggered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly well done to Chubbs n Clapa achieving their goals. Chubbs proving that even hairdressers are fast and can steer with 54.9, Clapa steering the tug boat around in an impressive 53.6 and George (Demon) getting his EVO out for the first time punching out a 58.5!!!!

Now the failvia... well it seems that this mysterious issue is not so evident anymore... still some vibration under heavy brakes but i think that is just the pad/rotor... anyways it ended up getting around in a 51.7 which was happy about. Goal for sunday with all the stars and moons aligned i will get into the 50's....

A good alignment done and get the tyre pressures right she will be good to roll...

A big shout out to JB again for the day, Ben harper and george medeike (spelling lol) showing me how the car should be driven :whistling:

So what else is left to do.?!?!?!?!!?

Of course.. BBBEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!

Its Ben Porter :D:whistling:

Yeah, what an epic day, plenty good cars, loads of track time, I love the south circuit!

the mx5 was keeping most of the cars honest! loved it!

Thanks to JB for today, totally worth every cent, I learnt so much, if it werent for these guys, Id be alot slower as I wouldnt have a clue how to drive this new thing properly!

Big ups to Eugene, George, Ando and Clappa also for doing great times and enjoying the day!

Now, my goal is 53's for sundays supersprint!

Sorry to hear all the bad luck Stu :D

What pressures do u need to run Ando and what have you been running?

At that Wakefield day (first time on semi slicks) I was running 30psi cold which rose to about 32-33psi hot but found out from the Yokohama dealer just near me that I should have started them at 25psi cold which will rise to 26-27psi.

Doubt I would have noticed any difference on my first day out in the car but ill give it a go at the OP GP day.

Ben - Champ i only adjusted the temp once all day lol.... i put 26 psi cold all round first session and came in with 33psi on drivers front & rear and 30 psi passanger front and rear so obvisouly there is a heap more load on the right hand side of car.... but yeah that was it for all day... just left them as that hahahahahaha just couldnt be arse fiddling as we had no air compressor, except clapas little cigarette lighter jobby which had less huff thana 70yr old hooker!!! :D

My moto if it goes, drive it.... meh to finer technical details... thats for this Sunday @ supersprint :( Today was R&D...

    • 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).
