Event: Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb ''the best hillclimb in aus''

(One of the biggest hillclimb events in Australia!! over 130-140 Racers)

Its like the Eastern Creek Time Attack of the hillclimbs in Aus....litterally

When: 4-6 November 2011

(Entries open and close in approx 4 days once event is opened so read now or youl miss out!)

Where: Mount Gambier South Australia (no not Adelaide)

Who: The race attracts all different types of cars such as time attack, street cars, drifters, aussie cars, old school cars, rotary's...it basically caters for all hardcore enthusiast car racers...

How to Enter: On Wednesday July 13th Entry's open and within 4 days WILL BE FULL & OVERFLOWED IF NOT LESS (thats over 140 entrys in 4 days) so basically get your entry in Wednesday or miss out...visit SEAC

Cost: Last year was $200 and this year could be more....

Why: My name is Russell, I am a local of Mount Gambier that hosts the 2011 Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb, This event is very fast becoming the top tarmac hillclimb in Australia starting in 2006 with 66 competitors to now rising to the ''caped'' 140 competitors this year in 2011.

The event is that red hot now that in 2010 within 4 days of the entries opening the event was filled and overflowed and thus entries closed with people all over Australia begging to get in...

The hillclimb is also one of the longest hillclimbs in australia boasting just over 1300 metres of track with speeds reaching over 180km/h to even 200km/h for the fast guys

I personally have entered this race in 2010, it is the most insane events iv ever ever done and it beats circuit work and other hillclimbs hands down....

If you have a track day car or even a fast street car, youl be stupid not to enter this event as it IS one of the best tracks YOUL ever drive...

This is a CAM's event and level 2 speed license is manditory!

Enjoy, I know I will :D

Are Supp Regs available for this event? Wouldn't mind giving it a go :thumbsup:

No idea, I think from memory last year the sup reg's got emailed to the competitors after they entered...

Looks good, shame about the distance :(

Its so worth the distance if your a competitor....driving doesnt get much better than this...going 180km/h on whats normally a 40km/h speed limited zone every other day of the year...:P

Is your name Russell too??? that is so awesome....good blokes them Russell fella's :P

It is very crazy, i entered my R32 GTR last year, and well I got up to 165k/h as I was too chicken to go any faster or put my foot down more as its pure madness and adrenaline rushing!

Ill be entering again this year in my Toyota Supra TT as my GTR from last year died

Thanks Russ. I do remember seeing supp regs for this event last year. I'll track them down as I want to find out eligibility and let you know mate, unless you've come across some for this year?

You'd be doing in the WRX I assume? If so don't worry about elegibility. Just enter.

This will sell out in days I've been told. I've got a way of getting entries in early so if you want to enter give me a call.

Ryan and I are going to be entering. For $150 or whatever it's crazy cheap.

Well that's what I'm tossing up at the moment :thumbsup:

Those few handbrake turns look a bit tight for it though, but it would be a heap of fun with some semi slicks on it and I dare say safer than the WRX too. I'll enter regardless and see what comes of it. Will give you a buzz Russ :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
