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.

Don't worry about the 10s stu, your car will be good for an 8 or 7 once it is sorted and yuo get some seat time.

Why not enter this? Your car is very well prepped and should be fine to last the distance. All you'd really need is a practice day down there beforehand to get the hang of the place. Their open days are cheap, and you'd get plenty of laps

i guess its a bit of a confidence thing, i was pretty messy last time and it rattled me a bit, still would like someone else to have a steer just to get some ideas on how it feels from a different pespective.

If i can get a logbook sorted and the boys are happy to have me along id have a go.

Just to clear a few things up, the Wakefield Park 300 is a enduro race held on the 29th of November.

Cost is $600 per team

A minimum one pit stop with no set time.

Only one car per team can enter with up to four drivers. Most run two or three drivers depending.

Fuel stops are carried out in the dummy grid unless you have dry brake systems which then allows for refuel at your pit garage. The car can be kept running to accomodate turbo cars with a requirement of having two fire mashals on hand.

Either CAMs, iRace or ASSA car can enter.

Licence can be CAMS or ASSA.

This is open class racing with classes based on times as opposed to classes to eliminate the hassle of parity etc.

Adam Ronke has a three care team competing which includes a R33 GTST which has been built specifically for these kind of events.

Two SW20 Mr2's will be entered, EVO's, MX5turbo's and NA's, a 300hp Pug, commadores, and more.

the regs are evpected this week so get you entry in ASAP as it looks like it will be a full field.

There are no timed fuel/pit stops this year due to a regulation change.

If you have a dry break system you can refuel at your garage. If you do not have dry break you must refuel in the dummy grid.

As far as the daewoo goes, I expect they will be close to $900 for the weekend with the best person to talk to being Adam Ronke at Winton as he is organising the lease options. He has tuned the cars since you have driven the Daewoo with a reasonable performance gain so they should go OK.

lol so 55fwkw now? I think they are a good option for this event, particularly in the new format. My car is racing weekend before at phillip island and week after at buller so I am not going to enter it......but the might woo is a geniune option.

good work keeping this event alive, it is a blast.

assuming the format is the same next year, I will make sure we get dry break system fitted to my car (one of the few freedoms in cams 3e I haven't done yet) and bring it along. I can't see a car without that winning, no matter how fast it is the pit stops will just take too long

      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).
