matt if you need a driver for the caldy ill be keen, looking at getting one of these soon and keen to have a look and see what they are like.

Thanks for the offer, Matt. I'll let you know when it gets closer to the day. I need to convince Kim first.

They're not a bad little wagon. N edition is obviously the one you want, with a bunch of TRD suspension upgrades, Torsen LSD, Recaro interior and so on. Handling is their strong point.

I've tweaked our N slightly, bit of a play with fuel pressure and extra boost. It still runs the stock exhaust, intercooler, intake, yet I've managed sub 6sec 0-100km/h (5.8) coming off the line with about 10-12psi boost. When it was dead stock, and before I dicovered how to launch it with minimum fuss, the best I could manage was low 7sec 0-100km/h.

HPI did a review of the ST246W, in which they claimed mid 8sec 0-100km/h, not sure what happened with the test car but they are much quicker than the article would suggest!

Still waiting to hear back :ermm:

Gf checks my emails 4 times a day... :rolleyes:

Got some more work done to the stag ... but no pics to prove it yet. :P Lets just say that she'll be shiny ;)

Chrome Mesh!? :P

Don't you start! :laugh:

Its got black mesh now :P A black painted front bar (was alwys black, but the paint a bit shit). And now some further attention to detail under the bonnet. Also getting the front windows tinted to match the privacy glass a bit better.

:thumbsup:

Is it true that there were defect stations set up outside after the event last year?

No.

no, thats not true. there were some people flexin' in front of everyone and were pulled up. As it is 99% of the time, dont be a dick, and youll be fine

One particular entrant will not coming back this year, despite applying and having his car on the cover of a magazine, because of his behaviour as he left last year.

    • 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
