Hi all..... so went camping fri + sat nights. Mates forester GT ran out of fuel out near kenilworth in pitch black at like 9pm fri night and none of us had reception. Took about 2 hours to get that sorted. We ended up sitting on the side of the road with him having a "few" beers while our other mates went and got some fuel hahahahahaha.

f**kin scary... we were basically in wolf creek lol

Shit day at lakeside today :)

Got stuck in a group with a bunch of sunday drivers, first session got about 2 half decent laps in, the rest were all stuck in traffic.

Second session I came through under the bridge too hot, did a 360, and then slid into the wall. I actually thought I'd managed to avoid the wall but just slid into it on the grass:

Pulled it all apart when I got home.

Guard. Could probably salvage it but not worth it, I'll get a new one:

Bumper reo got a bit bent but nothing that would stop it being used:

Filler panel also got a bit of damage but again, nothing to require replacing:

Headlight glass survived, a bit of paint to get off though:

All the mounts are cracked though. Hopefully I can get this fixed at a plastic welder or something. Don't want to have to buy another projector:

On the bright side, the body underneath it all looks straight:

So I'm probably just up for a guard, front bar skin, and some painting.

Andy, I might need to hit you up for you painter friend soon...

here's a video from session 1 of the couple of fast(ish) laps I got in:

at about the 35 second mark is my lakeside drifting :)

@Andy, does your mate do other panel work besides painting? I might need my front bar plastic welded and cleaned up before painting, and a couple of vents fitted, reckon he could do that?

marto looks awesome!

epic hand control while skidding :cool:

Boy's got skillz :P

ps next saturday we're finishing it :P

Haha, I may have to prioritize now. Its OK though, I'm sure Dan will help you out ;P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
