Went along to the motorkahna practise today at Monarto. Had lots of fun nice to see a few skylines out there hackn into the track. As for myself, first timer so was a bit loose "all over the shop" not to mention getn lost but ey happy i made the effort and i wasn't there to break any records lol. Not sure if id want to take the sport up as i could see my bank balance deminsh b4 my eyes, constantly on the limit of 1st handbraking every cone. Can't wait till the real comp on the 30th of august should be some good spectating.

oh and the grey 32 gtst with i think AME wheels dude i had no idea you lived on the same street as me lol

I was there in the black R32 along with quite a few mates (Satria GTi, Red S14, AE82, Black EVO VII, RX7, Colour changing S14, Silver S13 Q's)

I was a bit (alot) unco at the start, almost had some spinouts. I didnt hit any cones but had heaps of understeer until I started using the ever popular handbrake, slowly got the hang of it. My last run of the day litterally 5 minutes before they stopped it was my best. I had Sam (Red S14) coaching me in the passenger seat and linked the final 4 turns with the back out while in counter lock riding the rev limiter for pretty much the whole thing (sorry car lol)

I took a ride in the Grey R32 with Daniel? driving, god that was fun and it had some balls to match the looks and sound. Also did a shotgun run of the J turns in the Red S14.... wow....

It was good to meet everyone, will definately catch another.

There were a few 4WD's there, they had to rip the handbrake to stop it from understeering but I have to admit it didnt look as "flashy" as the RWD and FWD cars IMO. There was a EVO 7,8 and 9 there (I think) Saw a couple of those cock a leg, but the course wasnt really suited to them. There was a Legnum there which was auto and couldnt rip the hand brake because of the centre diff - funilly enough he pulled the quickest time of the day and it was his first day. As a RWD'er I pulled the hand brake at about 20 degrees into corner to tighten up the line and then use full power coming out towards the next cone - often hitting the limiter - but it sounded cool haha. It was good because most of my runs I actually had someone really good at it in the passenger seat talking me through it - a massive advantage.

When they were doing the front throws, it seemed the FWD's had the advantage, but then when they changed it to noughts and crosses the RWD's had it. I rode shotgun in a S14 pulling a 26 second run on noughts and crosses, that was insane!

I must add too, watching the "Inuendo" White S14A running the track was a pure pleasure to watch in person.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
