I assumed that the day would begin at 5pm (followed the link in this thread, it said 5pm then realized that was for drift)

The Mallala website is useless.

This only information I could find was this flyer:

http://www.mallala.com/startyourengines/PTD%20Brochure.pdf

Which must be about something else as it is $495 per day, but says that the session starts at 8:30am.

So i guess I will call them tomorrow to get all the details, does it start at 8:30 or 5? and why isn't that information readily available on their website?

you'd think you could click on the event you were interested in on the website and it would give you details, or at least that the details would be SOMEWHERE on the site.

Jeez it's late.

Hi All,

Just called mallala, spoke to Pete, asked for some info, he said the session tomorrow starts at 8:30 but he was not sure about cost. I asked him if the prices on the website for 2008 were unchanged (i.e. $100 + $25 for the CAMS license for the day) He said that was probably what it would be.

We both agreed the website was useless.

Clem is the guy with all the info but he won't be there until lunch time, but tomorrow definitely starts at 8:30 am and the cost will be approximately $125.

Will post more info if I end up speaking to Clem later on.

Hope to see some other skylines out there, I'd hate to be representing on my own :P

Since it's an 8:30 start how about BP west Tce at 7:15, head out at 7:30. It takes roughly an hour to get there. If anyone is keen to meet up PM me and we'll exchange details.

The Caltex on Port Wakefield road, Bolivar is a good place to meet, last stop to fill up and get food, etc.

Please don't put Caltex in your car, go across the road to BP. My R32GTR with caltex fuel and 4000rpm = knocking at 82. BP fuel and 7000rpm = knocking at 20.

Hey all,

I was out there today (someone had to represent). Was pleasantly surprised to find a few of our brethren there. RBWARE was there and so was BANNED, Plus another R32 GTR (silver one, forgot the dude's name). There was also one other 33 on the track besides me, Charcoal one with black wheels.

Was good fun, Stock brakes did alright, after 15 mins of hard use they gave up though but there were one hour intervals between runs so they had plenty of time to cool off between runs. They were fine again at the beginning of the next round.

I was sorely dissapoitned in my cheap ass tires. Pirelli's or Toyo's next time.

There was a good mixture of cars, some old school (Datsun 1600 running an FJ turbo, Old escort, old corolla, datsun 240z) some newer (our skylines, evo 7, evo 9) some brand spankers (350z, focus turbo, civic type r, evo 10). There was one R34 GTR track car but that didn't go on at the same time.

My exhaust looked brand new after that's how clean it was, apparently my car was shooting flames occasionally.

Some photos:

My exhaust is sooooooo clean!!

If you haven't been before I HIGHLY recommend it, brilliant fun and you don't have to worry about breaking anything, you don't have to go all out, my third run I took it easier but still had a good time. The safety rules make it hard to have an accident and even if you come off the track, you're only in the sand, no damage done. I'd liek to see more of us there next time.

Total cost was $125 for the track and a 1 day CAMS license, plus $50 bucks for a full tank of BP ultimate, I had a quarter of a tank left at the end of the day and I only did 4 out of the 6 rounds.

Good clean fun!

    • 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).
