A few of us tried to get a team put together last year for this event but after many broken cars and other hassles it didnt happen.

Im planning to enter again this year now we have a GTR thats reliable and can go the distance.

So who has a car thats prepared, racable and should go the distance??

I can get 6 cars with ease but would like to try and get a group of skylines together instead of a mixed bag to begin with.

Im prepared to let my car do a triple session, if we cant get the drivers/cars. Myself and Jay will be driving the GTR and may open it up to someone else if need be.

We're not really after ball tearing cars that can lap faster than anyone else. We'd like reliable consistant cars with drivers that can handle a 20min session and be consistant.

Thats what it takes to win the event not outright pace.....

Dont want to leave this till last minute like we did last year

So if anyone is interested say so.

Late november from memory mate.

Your one of the guys id let steer the GTR if yours was not in a good way so if your keen we can work around the car issue closer to the date.

I know my GTR could do atleast half the race without a problem besides tires.

As for times I think anything that can lap around the 10's for 20 mins solid is good enough. The key to these events is consistantcy. So no use showing up if you can spit out a 5 and then not maintain it for 20mins and behond.

Cars require a AASA log book which is piss poor. and a cage.

yeah my car will be fine to run 1.10s for 20min. Or an hour if need be. cant go better than an 8 in qualifing but I don't think that wil be an issue

would be great to see an sau team in.

only thing for me is timing is a bit iffy, I am booked for mt buller 1st weekend dec so hopefully this isnt the weekend before (then again they are both aasa so at least i can get a good run on proper boost :thumbsup:

pete...it would be a hell of a first race for your car. pretty tight to finish it by then realistically tho

Yep your on the money Duncan.

I agree an hour should be no problem at all but if we can get enough entrants it brings the entry fee down and the potential for damage down as well.

I know my car can do 6's for 20mins solid. Its consistant within 1/2 second depending on traffic and my concertration. So I figured if I knock it down a peg and run around in the 10's all day it should be perfectly healthy should any other cars have to drop out.

So Pete, myself, jay and possibly Duncan are looking good.

sounds like good fun

my best at wakie is a 1:11 in a close to shtocker r33 gts-t (semis helped- i have more excuses if needed :thumbsup: )

havent done a lap in anger in something quick in some time :)

but i am consistent - interesting in running if there is a spot for slowish but consistent?

Kel's in so now we got a team!

we nominate a lap time for each driver so it doesnt matter if the cars are all of a different pace.

It works along the same lines as the eastern creek 6 hour. they calculate how many theoretical laps the team should be able to do. but if you drop under your nominated lap time that lap does not get added to the lap count. Pretty sure thats how they still work it.

mmmmmmm i am no were near 10s mate but i have not driven on proper semis there yet, i did run a few 1.11's on RT615's last trip down there. I don't know how i will go for 20 mins tho but i will put my self down for a slow maybe option if i can get the car down there before hand and see how is it going after it has been apart.

But i am willing to lend a hand closer to the date with towing and prep work if needed mate.

i think someone who can steer could get my car down into the 10s, it would be nice to get some feedback from someone with experience also. if your short a car let me know Duncan, ill have to re-mount seat for you but was going to do that anyway.

Just have to organise logbook.

300 is about 130 laps right? pretty sure the 500 I did was about 200 laps. So about 2.5 hours

      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).
