you may have some codec troubles playing this video... i didn't and i'm using VLC media player. go download it, google is your friend ... or if you don't wanna get vlc you can download the right codecs here: http://www.codec-archiv.de/cod/kli/klcodec225b.exe

i might get flamed for this but... be more specific :D

well an R33 GTR held the lap record at the ring for sometime, before a porsche beat it...and i know there is a video out there that shows the GTR doing the lap. I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get it.

Cheers

no problem... yeah i liked it too. it's a pitty she dropped out. someone said in the movie... "it wouldn't be fun without the cops". i think it would be... just a different type of fun :D

another working link if the other one dies: http://www.cheapwebhostingplus.com/~squeez...arez.org%5d.avi

anyone know where i can get the R33 GTR breaking the lap record at the ring?

I think its in this DVD: http://www.pitstop.net.au/pitstop/prog/Ope...13PUM&PLU=12246

And I thought it was the R34 that holds the lap record; hence the Nur tag. In the DVD iirc he does a clean lap where he sets the record, and then he does a second lap with huuuuuuge powerslides for most of it.

If anybody has a rip of it, I'd be keen for a copy.

i've got it on my computer. i don't think what you're talking about is in it... but lets make it clear whilst educating me :D

explain nurburgring to me... there's the old track and the new track ???

the old one (in the mountains) is where you can pay to do a lap and there's always loads of normals and tourists in boring cars and bikes and lots of waiting for indicating so you can take over em happens ??? or is it closed off for real racing every other day?

the new one is ummmm.. an f1 track?

Dirk Schoysman who drives for falken in their r34 does a lap of the old one in a borrowed nur but as he says isn't going for a lap time at all. so i'm not sure what you're talking about is in it.

Nurburgring - Nordschleife is the old track - the track that takes 8mins to drive around and is the public road that you can drive on after paying a toll.

Nurburgring - the new one is the F1 etc circuit.

Its Nordschleife that the record was set on and the one Im talking about. Nissan and alot of other manufacturers do alot of testing there which is when this record was set.

Apparently the record has recently been broken in Hondas new saloon car.

    • 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).
