i menat in au3. sorry.

Yeah and doug and myself both have about double his power so still correct. Apparently he was running 6 degrees of camber :D

The coolest part was that he hadn't even widened the body with flares or anything, just had some 13 inch rims with some sticky rubber.

That was the blue one parked next to me up the top of the pits. I spoke to him late in the day and he said he'd run a 1:39. I dunno about his power but his suspension setup is mint and he was tweaking it all day.

What he lacks in outright power he'd certiainly make up in corner speed, 70kW does sound low though.

It definitely looked like a well prepped car, and sounded great too. Goes to show that suspension setup and talent are they key!

Pink180: Was yours the silver Sil80? Looked really nice mate, sorry to hear it's damaged.

Side note: I checked my intake pipe and it has a hose clamp on it so it must be a standard T25.

A lot of people were spearing off the track on the sweeper on Saturday, Russ looked to have a wild ride in front of me in the second session!

I enjoyed it so much that I went off in the last session too! haha

I had an absolute blast with you guys out there on Saturday. It was my first real grip day as im usually drifting instead haha... The WRX guys did a fantastic effort running the day, one of the smoothest track days i have ever been to.

Cant wait to get back out there just got to find a new shell after i put the car into the wall on Sunday :)

Yeah that sucks man. I crashed mine last drift day. Hope you get it back out there.

Yeh thats the one... Ive got another shell on the way so it should be back out in a few weeks just more $$$$$.

Your car looked awesome too mate! I remember back in the day when you had the meisters on it they were soo crazy back then!

Thanks mate, shame I didn't get to clean it up a bit before I came but it's getting there. How times change hey?! Now everyone has massive rims with big offset... :cool: Youd idn't damage your TE's did you?

Bris: Haha nice mate!

Thankfully no. I had borrowed some rims for the back off a mate, they copped some heavy scratches so it looks like ive bought myself some more rims!

Hello fellow Nissan lovers, my first time on this forum - joined just before the track day.

Thanks to all that had a part in organising and running the event. I was messing about with my suspension during the day so it really helped to have as many runs as we did. I was progressively getting quicker and did my best lap time on my last run. (1:34.7)

I was impressed by how BBGTR gets out of the corners. I was behind him during a session and he was pulling about 20m on me as we put the power down.

Hey Paul, I did my best time in the last run as well, but still recall seeing your car disappearing into the distance down the straight. :D

btw I recall doing two super sprints but can't see both in the results. Is s21 the combined runs or was only one timed?

Hi Paul,

Great time, I didn't do the supersprints - perhaps I should of as the track was getting faster all day!! I was having a few sideways moments around the boobs with power oversteer - apart from that the car seemed to behave itself.

Hope to see you at more events, need a few more R32's to play with!

Cheers

Andrew

Yeah its a totally diffrent car. Still wants to lock the rears but apart from that the mid corner and exit grip is higher than anything ive ever driven. It actually feels like it gets out of corners quicker than a GTR now. Soooo happy.

    • 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).
