Mine does the exact same crunch changing from 3rd to 4th at peakpower, delay the shift for a second longer and mine doesn't crunch.

It's crunching because your syncro's are worn, you can reduce the amount they play up but trying some different thickness G/Box oil. there are different schools of thought as to whether to use thicker or thinner oil but i found that thicker oil worked in my box and now it never crunches. Having said that a slow shift is better for the box than slamming through the gears.

I wont be coming out, I really need to upgrade my brake lines and replace my brake fluid and also buy new pads, have less than 2mm left on my front pads after last prac day. Seriously think i'll have to upgrade brakes brakes soon, brakes are at their limit and i dont think they will take this punishment for much longer :) Why do good brakes have to cost so damn much :D If anyone knows of some good brakes for sale let me know :P

hey guys, is this like pretty much the same set up as drift practice, as in you can just pay on the day and have track time? or you you need other CAMS licence. Is it a competition so its all competeting against other cars or just practice? . is it open to any car? im keen to get my car on the track as i hardly get too drive it anymore, cheers.

rock up in the morning,

pay $100 + $25 for day licence if you dont have a cams one

get 5-6 sessions of 15min practice runs... no racing, no overtaking under brakes or into corners

hey chad, if youre serious about upgraded brakes, i know a guy on 31 club has picked up a couple sets of porsche brakes and is onselling a few (had to buy a half dozen sets to get a good price), might be a little overkill though...

calipers for 33 gtr aka 330 rather than the stock r32 296's ? or do u mean just the hubs and that the calipers fit with that size?

-D

You just need to cut off the dust covers, but other then that, everything bolts up fine. GTR disc's are 330mm front.

why not just go aftermarket slotted then.....

I am pretty sure there is a group buys section on slotted rotors in the main for sale section.....got my brakes from that GB and are awesome rotors....so far not a problem and going welll

    • 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
