see if i can get off my ass and get the car back together, tune and all that stuff i will be in :P

Ill take that as you wont be coming hahahaha

In regards to yellow stickers....in my experience it will be ok as these driver training days are self scrutineered. However, if one of the instructors/staff see something that is a safety issue (steel hanging out of tyres, excessive oil leaks, seat belt held together with zip ties/safety pins) then they will exclude you from going on the track. I dont believe they will give a shit that your car has adjustable suspension that may not meet ADR.

Having said this, this is not a guarantee.

Having got another play-thing while my engine is being re-built, I will give it a go.

It's a GTI-R!

Not sure how the trapped nerve in my neck will respond to wearing a helmet, but that's another story! (I have not been having a good time the last few months!!!)

Cheers. :P

GTi-R & the mx5 can go head to head, right Keith?

Sure, sounds like fun...just waiting for the new combo to arrive and Brad install a few bits. This thing is supposed to be my daily while I'm stuck in the office but I can see it becoming a bit more as things progress :)

Seriously, the gear knob came off in my hand last time I drove it and the steering wheel isn't even round lol

Sounds like we will be well matched - my gearknob is held on by blue electrical tape!!

Hmm ... .. .. .. must see if I can get a Nismo knob somewhere. That should add 30 hp by itself!

:)

I will be away until maybe Wednesday so wont be checking on the thread or replying to PM's until i get back so pleae dont think im ignoring you.

If you have an urgent question about entry/payments, talk to Dan.

Urgent questions about the rules etc for the track day, talk to Paul.

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :cheers:

haha pretty sure there would be plenty of people to gush over him and etc

will try to make the treck for a catchup as cherrired is still in the shed due to shifter issues and time constraints

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :P

Nah i've done it that many times now i've lost interest. I'll find something for me and him to do that day. >_<

    • 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).
