well that was an eventful day. never before have i physically felt ill seeing such a low speed crash. i know the car will be back in action in no time. Feel terrible for all involved. mostly as the new brembos still havent been used properly.

Damn, that sucks the big one Luke. Glad Kristian is okay, and as many people have said, it could have been alot worse for both of you. I have a plastic recirculation pipe (that runs behind the cooler) here you can have for nix if you need it. Unfortunately, alot of the parts you will need, I sold a short time ago :( But like I said, I'm pretty sure a mate has a 33R half cut, which you might be able to get a few things off locally if you need to. I'm more than happy to give you a hand re-assembling things if you do the work yourself too. (been there, done that - AKA drift prac september last year...) Goodluck!

Martin: its unfair to generalise drifters for wrecking the track... the burnout guys are just as bad or worse... some of the time attack guys have much to blame also.... we pay money to use the track just like anyone else. so how about leaving the drifter bashing out of this thread thanks. last time i checked it had nothing to do with drift ;)

lol in fairness I was given fair warning that they'd be coming...I knew I should've taken that sticker back! haha

Josh I was well into third gear, so I'm not sure it qualified as a low speed crash, although it felt like I was watching that wall come towards me for about 5 minutes before I actually connected with it!

Nige cheers for the offer, yeah we will probably chase your mate up for some of the factory parts, although Luke loves his brand names, bloody big spender haha

Guys keep the other drifter/racer stuff out of here please, in spite of what I said before about the oil stuff (and Simon P came mighty close to joining me in the same spot on the following lap apparently), I'm happy to put this one down to the klutz behind the wheel. Live and learn!

Don't worry. It looked like 5 mins from the hill. Felt like you were sliding towards the wall for ages. But yes, Luke tends to be a bit of a brand whore, should have delayed the v35, could have packed front end parts in it :-)

Just searched through 100 auction pages but not much to find :(

Lights your looking at 17-1800del

Brand new Shift sports bonnet Around 1300 + ship

Sent Luke to a HKS intercooler (100mm) for 40,000yen

Front indicators 5,000yen

Damn and I was about to put up an oil related meme thing one :P

^^ Sakai's my favourite too Whiplash!

The silly thing is Simon, I reckon if the grass was dry I would've pulled up before the wall and driven away again. If there was anything I could've done to prevent it from hitting the wall then I would be seriously kicking myself, but short of not getting out on the track in the first place, there was no way I could've avoided it once I'd lost grip.

Luke (ENR34) I spotted that HKS one too, Heslo and I are already exchanging emails, in a bizarre way it's kinda fun going shopping lol

Vu :rofl: Damn drift racers...

    • 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
