I see you lurking Jay :)

You coming?

I was thinking about, but i'd only be running my little proton daily as the race car is currently not even a rolling shell :P

Too late now but. Good to see it's filled up well in advance.

I will have more info about photography services on the day.

I have to get the last ok's with the exec, but the current plan is to have a club photographer there. I will have a sign up sheet where you can pre-purchase a CD (maybe DVD) copy of all the photos from the day. If you do pre-purchase, then we'll make sure the photographer gets shots of your car.

I may also have my in-car video available on a similar arrangement. I'm still working on the finer details, but the idea is that if you want some in-car, you pre-purchase and will put the in-car video camera into your car in the pits. Go out for a few laps, then return it. If the Video idea goes ahead, then will also be included on the DVD.

I would then do the post event compilation of all the media and mail out the DVD's within a month of the event.

Of course, you can have your own friends take amateur shots.

Just nit picking but does anyone know y my passenger is written in the list. He's been paid for. Just thought I'd figure that one out before turning up with a random other dude. Cheers.

No more than welcome to nit pick away dude! Sorry Daniel, i have updated accordingly!

:blink:

Of course, you can have your own friends take amateur shots.

As Eric has pointed out, we're hoping to have at least one "pro" photographer on the day, and everyone is welcome to have their friends taking shots as well, but there will be ABSOLUTELY NO ALLOWANCE for passengers to carry hand-held still or video cameras while a car is out on the track. It's a safety (and hence insurance) risk that we are not prepared to take.

Oh, I'll most likely have my camera out there on the day too.

Ando will you be putting the groupings up in here when they are sorted out?

Nah i will start a new thread in EVENTS Section so it doesnt get lost in amongst this thread. It will obviously have the groupings but will also give a full rundown on the finer details of the day.

It will be up ASAP :bunny:

I'm keen to come, but as a passenger...anybody want me? **teary eyes**

Anyone on the day that asks me for a sit in the passenger seat won't be turned away. I'll be thinking why you would want to journey the high seas of Wakefield in HMAS HIC-45S instead of a fast car though :down:

    • 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).
