meh half million dollar car, it's worth fixing.

plus let's remember the VL is the only good commodore holden ever made :pirate:

and plenty of race cars have been rebuilt from much worse damage than that. that's only minor damage.

as for the commodore comment, you take that back! NO commodore was ever good. having a mediocre nissan motor doesn't make the VL good. however the walky does improve it's standing.

Good god take that back, the Walkinshaws are f**king hideous. worth quite a bit of coin though.

Uncle had a VK Brock, that looked pretty cool.

Aaaaaaand looks like an RB30 won the day with a 284.7knh trap speed and a 19 point something second effort.

Seems the top overall is a Nissan field

After i posted this, it went and did 288kmh.

It looked to be at about 300 or 350m mark, hard to tell though.

If it was at 300-350m than it wasnt caused by lack of bonnet pins it was caused by broken bonnet pins because that bonnet would have removed itself well before 300m (which would be id say around 140+ kmh)

Weird.

Iam not sure of exact times of each car yet and dont want to get them wrong. Results should be up soon but you can look on natsoft. I was there supporting my brother in the blue IS200. He got 9th outright out of I think 114 cars with 22.04 and 264kmph. Also my mate in the burgundy supra. He got i think about 5th or 6th outright with 21.6 and 270.9. Both obviously very quick cars. I should have had my car there but my work couldnt guarantee me the time off until it was too late to get an entry spot. Soooo painful watching everyone else have a go!

Tim.

    • 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
