A few of us are going for a bit of a drive on the 7th of feb, and I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to tag along.

We usually do these drives fortnightly, and get a good crew together, with cars of all sorts, like Reanult Clio Sports, Pug GTI's GTR's and WRX's all having a bit of a thrash. Its really good to see how each car comes into its own in different circumstances.

We usually get the map out on the day and decide where to go, usually meet at lillydale, and head off from there eg- reefton spur, toolangi, my baw baw, mt donna buang, christmas hills etc..

What you WILL need to know is, we dont ***** foot around, this is not a leisurly cruise. If you want to test your cars handling abilities, this is how to do it.

If you want to come, make sure everything on your car is up to scratch, especially, tyres, suspension, BRAKES, steering etc.. I cant STRESS this enough, we've had a few people come along and have completely written thier cars off becuase they werent properly eqipped.

We dont do anything illegal, just use the roads properly.

If your keen, and feel up to it, let me know.

Cheers.

PM me if you dont have the foggiest of what im talking about.

But i dunno about the 7th :D

Car will be on the road around that time. I just dunno what day. Playing it by ear.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
