Late as usual...

What are my chances of getting in Ryan/Bec?

Is the list very up to date? Any people pulling out just yet?

Don't be soft and just enter Dan :) , all 5 reserves + others made it in last DECA

Also just like to add Campbell's car is rubbish and will once again not be making DECA, (sorry Leon :D ) head gasket had had enough :D

He will be entering in my 180

Nah haven't forgotten, just been a bit snowed under with the house, unexpected redundancy, now working in Melbourne temporarily, etc. Haven't had time to work on or drive the car, DECA could be a good chance to blow out some cobwebs and see what breaks :)

I'll forward through a form today Ryan.

EDIT: In filling out the form I just noticed my licenses are expired, I'll have to sort that first - Joy :banana:

Still send the form in and advise Bec/Ryan of your licence details when it is renewed.

umm... team 180..

Pretty sure i'm entering my 180 too...

Awwww shit, I'm on the list.

I even lashed out and ordered a mega cheap set ($52 for the lot) of normal brake pads so I can actually stop at this DECA as the I couldn't get any heat into the pads last time.

Rear spoiler is already removed and the street tyres are already on, I'm starting to get a bit excited...

We'll just have to see if the turbo holds on :D

The clamps were fine, it was the silicon joiner that let go. Looks like it'd been rubbed, I've moved things accordingly.

If you were at that DECA why didn't you come and say hello, or did you and I've forgotten...

Another upgrade from that DECA is that I replaced the drivers seat that I snapped in half that day, Should be easier to drive now that I dont have to hang off the wheel :huh:

Okie dokie, here is the Event Sched. the map 'mega slide' should be a bit of a RWD pleaser as its the biggest slide we have had... if you drive a FWD it will probably be the biggest lot of understeer you have ever had :huh:

 

READ THE THING (and not when you are 2 cars from the start line!)

 

EVENT SCHEDULE

 

Also, here is the Championship Standings as of Round 2.

Nice layout to break in the new LSD. I predict much spinning out on my part.

My supra needs a new LSD aswel :huh:

Where did you get yours from if you don't mind me asking?

What brand is it?

1.5 way? 2 way?

Cheers :D

2-way TRD LSD.

Got it from MVP motorsports in the US. Was $1,100 (USD), plus I had to get a $200 conversion kit to make it fit the NA diff housing.

Edit: Sorry, it's less than $1000 USD, but $1,100 AUD.

Yeah well I bought this car so I could learn how to drive it, so that once I'm off my P's I can step into a more powerful car and not kill myself/make better use of its power. I couldn't really learn much about car control or behavior with an open diff. Just need to get some better brake pads and she should be circuit ready too.

    • 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).
