THAT is for not coming to the wash last night. Hahaha

Theres not many things > baskins meet but dream theater concert is one of them :)

Anyway John said he's thinking of doing a NA drift car.

With what money?

R31 + RB30e + spool + cut springs = NA drift car

Colin: yea whats the plan?

and jason...

where the f*ck did you get to? We got to the car wash and you weren't there... I thought you were behind us. Did you bugger off and have a nautical adventure without us? :D

My first suggestion was a 31 but he turned his nose up at it. I also suggest an LS1 S13 lol but I think thats out of the budget.

I loled at the GTR not being able to lose traction statement :D

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

lol pretty much.

oh in that case he probably couldnt break traction then

Yeah he's too used to the highways in Qatar :)

the go for the weekend is I'm moving in on Saturday hopefully be done between 4-5pm then we head down to the spit for some fish n chips and chill/talk shit. Depending on what happens one of my mates might be coming down n we're going to go to a few bars n have some drinks n have a mini celebration. You're all welcome to come out for some drinks with us as well but there isn't a lot of space to crash at my place lol.

lol i must say im used to driving fast in straight lines, but the adrenaline kicked in last nite, was a bit scared because brake pads are nearly done and car wasnt breaking well, so had to use gears to slow down alot, which is hard to do on mountain twisty roads uve never seen before, but yeh i didnt relly look at the speedo alot, but tops i wuld say i did was 145 , most of the time around 120 around the twisties,

i was praying to god during the entire thing, i was lke please its stock i wana mod it, please keep it in one peice, and it worked :D , dont really wana do it again though, would prefer going around a track or drag strip rather than mountain bullshit,

since i got the car the only track its been to is the sir fred schonell drive to sir fred schonell drive 1 KM two roundabout loop :)

hey mate,

yeh me and robert were jst havin a quick chat. everythin good, oh and yeh just did a mountain run now with a mate, i have f**kin goosebumps, i hate corners, but GTR handled pretty well, still kept TRACTION most of the time loool, look at the updated sig.

you hate corners?!?!?!

sell your gtr and buy a supra.

simple.

:)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

agreed,

or as we saw recently :)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain - GTR + Chaser + Alcohol = Chaser + Trees + Fire = no chaser

if you're going to get into it mate - id recommend you learn the braking points - how/when to brake effectively etc etc

the last thing you want to do is fry your brakes and go off the side

At the track obviously

you miss me

You know it :)

Well if timings bad for everyone we can do it Sunday either way is easy for me. Could head down to Burleigh heads or something n have a bbq there instead of the spit? I'm easy on the time so tell me what works for you guys lol

    • 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).
