Hi Matt we meet at the last ec drive day i have got the white gtr that got the oil leak and the one who had the problem with the ss the video that i was talking about is the young guy that takes the videos at the track and i did about 20 laps with him in my car and would like to have a look at the video ,as you told me you could get a copy of it when we where at the track thanks mate Jason

P.s is your dads car going yet

Jason, the guy who was in your car taking vidoes was Scott, he is usually lurking around the track so you should catch him on the day, he will find you usually.

I am waiting for rings to come in from Japan so no engine rebuild as yet. There has been a huge stuff up at work - they know my car is not going to the track day so they assumed I wouldn't be and have rostered me to do some work, WHERE DO THEY GET OFF!!

I notice there is a ride/drive day on Saturday the 19th October, should we be thinking about a group booking for this, Paul, Dean??

Also notice that Tim who drives with us (Black S15) has won a balloon flight for being part of a group booking.

The driving starts at 1pm and I'll be there from about 1145. Please plan to be there by at least 1215.

I'm the good looking bloke in the Gunmetal Grey R33, Duncan is in the blue R33 if you can't find me. :)

Remeber, you need:

Full length clothing, i.e. long sleeve shirt, long pants and shoes that cover your feet. Preferably not nylon.

Full Face Helmet or Open Face helmet (only if you have a racing harness).

Your license.

Decent tread on your tyres and a roadworthy car.

Nothing loose in the cabin. eg. street directories, coke bottles etc.

As usual had a top day even though i had a few dramas with the car. Time spent on the track was well worth the heart ache.

Thanks to Dean & Julian and anyone else who lent a hand trying to get my car started.

    • 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).
