Hey Fatz, count me in your number if it helps to get enough. In any case I'll meet you out there.

I'll be in the stock* blue Lexus IS200.

Yeah I know the car has the wrong badges on it, but I'm happy to support a club that actually promotes driving events unlike most other forums in Sydney!

* I swear, they're all like this officer!

No probs, i'll take pauls place.

One last run at OP for the silver Zed.

Fix up on the day Ok Fats? :)

Ron,

I have already paid, just drop the $200 in to UAS on your next visit!

Enjoy the day man, wish I was there!

Oh Giffarked!

I so should have bought the jerry cans today!!!

My car is drinking fuel like it's going out of fashion... IE... city mileage of around 24L/100KM... :) That is tapping the throttle every now and then... 2 full throttle squirts... :thumbsup: I'm up shit creek tomorrow... *Packs credit card for fuel stops*

Awesome day :)

Some clutch dramas early but all good after that.

thanks to John penno for bringing me out a new braided line and oil to get me going again.

competed in a couple of full on grid races, started mid field in the first one, first corner was a bit of a mess with every one trying to squeeze through.

Started on the second row in the next one and was able to win the drag to the first corner, led for three laps before a couple of the quicker cars squeezed through.

improved my lap time to a 1.25.41 so happy with that.

probably my last drive at OP and will be sorry to see it go, awesome track. :)

thanks to fats for organising, enjoyed the tussle with the GTR, crazy driver though. :)

Was a bit taken aback by the Lotus' and race cars, but an awesome day apart from my brake failure. Well that lead to a necessary brake upgrade to R33 4pots in the paddock lol. Got to see some track time but not happy with the crappy pads I bought, lesson learnt.

    • 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).
