Usually a stock bonnet on an S13 should be fine as it already incorporates two types of latches, but depends who the scrutineer is. I've not had an issue with my 180 or Clubbie in the past.

Clear contact is for glass, not plastic as far as I'm aware. And as for fluid reservoirs I'm not sure. I haven't run covers in the past, but that was a while ago. Clubbie didn't have any at HH earlier in the year and was not an issue.

Having said that, it's best to have as much checked off the list as possible, just in case.

180 is alive! See you there guys... :/

Good to hear! hope it's a trouble free day for you.

I wish I was coming to winton...

Hmm I think the S13's headlights are glass (projectors)

Can anyone elaborate on needing contact on them?

I dunno if I'll have time to get any between now and tomorrow.

silvia headlights are glass, i'm fairly sure you can use duct tape also...

I just use tape. They didn't like it but they've accepted it every time for me.

Dane! Finally!

What a weapon big red is, Off the trailer 1:33 too! Dollar for dollar would be interesting vs a gtr, but good to see the rwd flag being flown very high this weekend :)

Top weekend with a nice rain free day to get some laps down, my first look at winton.

equally impressive was the historic datsun 1600 with an original capacity L16 1600 and some carbies punting around in 1:39's. We're talking all of 70kw's at the wheels i reckon! and ryan cracking out some quick times in his 180.

a very well run day by the rex club, lots of sessions that went smoothly(ish) and no 2 hour lunch break :) looking forward to the next day out

Yeh, been interesting to see someone finally put similar effort and development into a GTSt and at the moment is going quicker them most the GTRs

Was a great day, well done to Justin and the team at the WRX club. A really well run event, so much so that some started to run out of fuel.

A PB for me at 1.35.6 but haven't been up there for two years so I was all over the place. Another second in it at least with some more track time. The next Winton day is on my birthday so hopefully it will be something special.

Nice to see two R35's out on track, and even off the track a couple of times when it looked like brakes started to get a bit tired.

Well done to Adam Newton on a 1.33!, ~400kw and 1340 kg's make for a super quick car, but it needs someone of his caliber to keep it under control and that is no mean feat. Great to watch for the one lap I was able to keep up.

The worst thing about the day was being done by a couple of tenths by an EVO. :)

another great laugh. the sessions moved along really fast this time around.

knocked a heap of time off my pb and battled with a rex all day.

though the day ended with josh and I pushing his 32 on the way home...

oh and the sliding action by the guys in the cool down laps :)

Few pics that katie and I took today..

enjoy

    • 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
