nah its the one who had the yellow supra with the F&F decals on the side and ran up on the dyno and when the MC asked her about the car, she didnt know anything about her car and just kept saying really dumb stuff

however that other one does sound hilarious though, feel free to post that one up as well

Damn I hope this is true because it sounds like funny shit.

Some of those Autosalon MC's piss me off. I remember one Autosalon I was present at, they were dynoing all the S2000s in a row. One guy got 160kw at the treads and the idiot MC said "160kw!!! MOST V8's DON'T GET THAT!". He wasn't being sarcastic either. Hahaha, half the people who get their cars dynoed at Autosalon have no idea what has been done to the car.

probably doesn't help that a lot of workshops offer "Stage 1/2/3" upgrade kits with guaranteed "X-Y"rwkw. Good for them, as they've obviously done it enough that they know what works and what doesn't, and the consumer saves because there's no R&D required.

And also i guess a lot of people walk into a garage and just say 'i want 250rwkw', not "I want a GT-SS, 660cc injectors, motec system exhaust and a dual NOS fogger system"

I think that's fair enough...

...because I don't believe you should have to know alot about cars to be able to enjoy them, or modify your vehicle. But putting it on the dyno...if you don't know what is producing that graph then I think you'll be short of understanding what it means...and how you can use it to your benefit other than bragging to people who do know what it means :D

Speaking of "stage 1", "stage 2" etc, it's hilarious when people say they've got a stage so and so car, as if it means anything outside of the workshop where the work was completed!

haha yeah it was a pretty funny video, just a rice heap owned by some chick who has obviously gone "i want to make power, here is my credit card, drop my car off at autosalon for me". then when the MC asked her some questions she just kept stuttering and saying "ohh um i have to thank the boys, i have to thank the boys".

i agree that modifying shouldn't be exclusive to people who know about their cars, but i still think that if you are going to flaunt it in public you should at least know a little about your car, or carry a sheet around in your pocket with the specs on it to read out hahahaha

PS RIP autosalon

Think about it. Not many 5L V8's make anything over 180kw standard, so his statement is somewhat correct.

Hell, I wish my V8 made 160rwkw :)

Really???? Most holden and fords after 1992 that were V8's made over 185kw. My 90' VN SS made 177 stock even though it was spose to only be 167 i think out of the factory.

      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).
