Yeah...

I was just learning how to use my new camera, so the pics aren't as good as they should be :)

Anyway, here they are:

Merli how did those XR6's go around the track???

Cheers

Noticeably slower than the skylines... I was taking photos all day, and lap after lap I could see the order of cars changing that the XR6Ts were obviously getting overtaken by all the other cars...

Could just be inexperienced drivers? Or they might have been taking it easier? Too many factors to take into account really...

But yeah, they were definitely a little slower than the other cars out there, but still pretty good! (They were stock too)

from the track's point of view, the xr6 drivers were definately new to it all, but they all got progressively better and better with confidence.

they are quick down the straight though! i wasnt making any yards on them!

those are the very same simex tyres..

I had trouble trying to drift that last corner, the car just comes in and understeers or oversteers. By the time I figured it out they got shitty with me for drifting. Also took out ABS for this day... makes a big difference on track when you get used to it.

I had HEAPS of fun on the hairpin getting some very nice drifto around that, but alas the simex's are well and truely FARKED! I had no traction out there so drift was the only option. I think I will have to sit out on the next track day to get the tyre situation sorted.

Franky has video of me sideways up the top of the track, so I cant wait to see that.

yeah tell me about it. I dont think I have ever laughed so hard, especially when we headed down the straight and saw the guy fingering the red flag.

Very funny stuff.

Or when you were being a total maniac by drifting and doing helis all over then track...then the guy in front gets red flagged!!! LOL!!! what a classic!! I'm sorry, but it was so worth killing your brakes and tyres over :rolleyes:

    • 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).
