This Friday we head off to Shepparton for our third run in the Grand Prix Rally. The event starts on saturday morning and finishes Wednesday in ST Kilda.

The cars are parked in the GP grounds From Thursday to sunday and my car (41) has my name on the rear windows and No plate is DAD 8 IT. SO if you see me say hello. (short fat bald bloke)

We get to do a parade lap about lunchtime on Friday on the Formula 1 race track and Ill write a little report for those interested when I return.

Unfortunately we leave on Saturday morning to come back home due to personal commitments, so we wont get to see the F1 race.

Should be a few nice skylines down there as the GP Rally has been won by a skyline for the last two years.

This is the official site of the rally so you can see how things go.

No I am not taking the skyline as I cant afford to have a crew vehicle following us carrying the spare etc. (Bloody skyline boots)

What sort of car is it? I'll have a look for it...but it will most likely be Sat or Sun (after you've gone), so won't be able to say hello ;)

Good luck btw! :headspin:

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
