Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

went to the last meeting just before xmas and it was a very enjoyable day. The fact i was the only one of 2 skylines there prompts me to post this email i

received from circuit club. Im new to the track scene and could not find much info on or about whether SAU organises any events of this nature.

i have just recently got back into a GTR and i am loving the adrenalin associated with this type of racing. Hope to see you guys out there

Cheers

Steve

I was going to attend the day just before Xmas until I found out it had over 70 cars...

That was actually a trial format which had 6 groups. I dont think there would have been 70 cars that day, 50 at most - plenty of track time that day. :woot:

After speaking to Jane, they will be going back to the old format of 4 groups capped at 60 cars. First in best dressed! :D

the last one was pretty awesome, even though there were more groups, there was heaps of tracktime!

I wont make this one, need to finish the car first, but I want to be back out for the following one.

Also, there was more like 5 skylines there last time, its just yours was the only really worth watching :)

Stu,

You should get your dinosky AASA log booked and do MRA at wakefield too :P

I wont be at c/club as I'll hopefully be down a week later with MRA

Will try and make it!

The Christmas trackday was fun but had to leave early as rear brake pads were shot.

My tires got chewed up pretty badly too for some reason. I have done a few trackdays at Wakefiled and i never got chunks torn out of my tire as badly as I did on that day..

is this event noob friendly???

im keen to do a few track days this year but have very little track experience

It will be my brother in laws first time at the track as well :P he is also from the hills,

so you are not alone! You will be basically put in the slowest group for the day. (make sure

you get there early to listen in on the drivers brief to learn about the rules)

I have just finished putting his gtr together - hoping for 300awkw - cant wait to see

him pilot this for the first time :)

Well my trailer is loaded, just gotta throw some tools + fuel in the back of the ute and im ready to go.

Hoping for 1:14's or better :P

4

Will be good to catch up with you cheif!

will load the trailer tomoz :O

the less ppl = the more track time,

both fingers crossed for good weather!

    • 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).
