What's the go with spectators? What time does track action start and is there an entry fee?

I'd love to come and have a run myself but I'm not ready yet. Nonetheless I'd like to come and meet some people.

It's free to come and watch, you might want to go out as a flaggie as you get a much better vantage point and potentially a free lunch.

First run is usually between 9-10am - although there will be a lot of cars to scrutineer so it may be later.

The event is now officially full. Amazing - last year they struggled to get entries to events, now each event this year has been a sell out - fantastic news for all concerned.

Also good to see a few cars being dusted off - especially Chris Thompson. Be interesting to see if the "plumber with dripping taps" theory applies here or if he has some secret squirrel mods going on. Purely for R&D purposes of course. :D

I convinced Chris to come on the weekend. Don't expect anything special from either of us though. We are just coming for a fun session and to do some laps.

Neither of us is really interested in going balaistic anymore. It's just nice to get out there and have a good time and PI is such and awesome fun place to drive around.

I can't wait :cool:

Well he can fix my car when it breaks, it has been having too good a run. It's all got to come to an expensive end sooner or later... :thumbsup:

Until the helmet goes on...

The funniest part of that was you guys expected us to believe it :cool:

deca isn't a championship round... haunted hills was round 1, calder was round 2, pi is round 3...

its all here dude: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/20...-C-t307676.html

ah, thanks so obvious. My bad for not reading. Thanks

ok people, the field is pretty much full.

the weather forecast is typical PI as this stage, cloud and passing showers.

should be a blast!

Hey John, passing showers eh. You should photoshop your avatar so the red car sideways is the Lancer. I doubt I will be able to keep it in a straight line :woot:

Na see I'm bringing the recce car so I need a nav. :)

Something tells me, and I think I'm right on this one, that I will NEVER have such a capable recce car EVER again! We'll I'll be available on Sunday as Handbags got scared off by the noise limit (no way was Big Red going under 75 :( )

Did you end up comparing Rossarden videos?

Haha - no I've never done it. The only Targa comparison I ever did was between me and Wooster on The Sideling (where our times were 1s different).

It would be like if I'd brought the camera to Lake Mountain the other week. It would have been interesting to compare mine and Matt Colemans Tour run to your EMO run.

And I have to say that the R36 is a MUCH more sensible recce car. The 35 is just too capable to get any feel at road speeds.

awesome.. scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms with hail. max 17.

yep, that's how it turned out. The hail occurred as I was exiting the sweeper onto the main straight with the wipers going full pelt and still not making much difference to visibility. :P

.

A good day tho' in any event. Looking forward to the next round.

Yeah, would have been good to see you guys on the track more. Was good to meet some of you nonetheless. See you next time.

    • 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).
