duncan! where r u? we just beers in motel pool waiting for you n matt!

Delayed repsonse: - Glen Innes wasnt cold beer was crap lucky for Steve and I had a bottle of Bundy fully imported from Bathurst and at -no time did we feel the cold, (there was no freight on the bottle from Glen Innes to Warwick)

For all others we got to Warwick about 10ish gave the car a tub, found the track had a look see - a cruise or 2 - had no 4wd. Sorted that (fluid level sensor) - had another cruise or 2 - or about 30 laps plus. Bugger me canvas doesn't grip very good, so the Dunlop slicks are over it, A050s are back on for the sleepover - we will see what we can do tomorrow.

Our PB today (Powerbox) was a 1.24.2 top speed 199.84km per hour -great track, all having a ball, but I think after tomorrow might have to take back, that Wakefield is the hardest track on brakes and tyres

Duncan will be 5 seconds quicker tomorrow,had the full crew put new rear swaybar bushes in tonight and without being a dobber he wasnt rushing at all LOL beer time

Cheers

lol more beer than racing I think.

news from me is the car is running great, best is about 1.24.4 so far, will try a bit harder in the morning. puts me about 4th in sports cars but considering the mods on the car I'm very happy with that.

on the down side at least 1 turbo is dead so I'll be surprised if i last the full day tomorrow.

also stu has had a bastard of a day with his fuel pump, hopefully the bits from the cordless angle grinder will see him back out there and running well tomorrow

good to catch up with scooby, harry, noddy etc too.

good vids to post including noddy's 150klm/h+ drift at the back of the new section....can't do it till i get home tho.

ryan, you are missing out. this track rocks.

sau nsw road trip for here and lakeside mid next year.

I am kicking my self that I had too miss it. Fingers crossed I will be their next year, congrats on the time bugger about the turbo. Look fwd for the vids and more times.

I have cracked a rotor, killed the front left shock and the tires are definitely past their best.

Bugger, will you be able to run on sun? What times were you doing?

what a good weekend!

was good to see and meet the QLDers!

Harry, Noel, Callum and Noddy!

To the NSW guys - Duncan, Mitch, Matt, Stuart - thanks for all your help with everything - its great to have great people in the clubs to help you all out!

I ended up with a 1.37.5, with a first time of 1.43 - so not a bad result for a first time at a new track!

    • 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
