Nice footage and good time on street tyres there Richard. What camera are you running and also what street tyres exactly.

Did well to keep so close to Franz also on street tyres.. well done.

Hey - didn't keep it flat through the esses though?? ;)

nah no yellow sticker :thumbsup:

sorry about the shit sound on the footage ( Go-Pro Hero ) I found what was rattling ..

as for not flat through the esses Matt, it all depends on the exit on corner 1, and on the street tyres ( Michelin Pilot Sport ) its pretty skatey with the change of direction and the dip , I'm reasonably happy with the time and to be that close to Franz :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, due to boost leaks and who knows what, I was noticably down on power, instead of the usual 1.8 bar I was only seeing 1.4, both days >_< more lag out of the corners, so that combination didn't help.

haha! I was only having a dig about not holding it flat on the esses mate.. ;) with street tyres and circa 600hp (I'm guessing on 1.4bar) I doubt I'd be holding it flat through there!

Sorry I didn't make it up for a look and to say g'day.

Brakes still all good though obviously??

I'll hand my keys to someone if they promise to hold my car flat through the esses :thumbsup:

I'm not paying for the funeral costs though :nyaanyaa:

yeah not a chance in RWD :no:

Its funny I thought did hold it flat, but I've just watched a few other vids from the event and no, maybe on semi's but not streets...

hey Simon the stocky performed well again, good work :thumbsup:

mmm... not sure I am allowed to say... "..what happens in Vegas......."

I can tell you I drove a Lambo Murcielago for 5 laps at a track though! :)

Hoping to get to the McRae Twilight Sprint (or, as we like to call it - the rim killer track) on Dec 6th.

Aye, look at you guys living the Veva Loca .:worship: was it faster than the Silver Bullet ?? I'm sure theres a couple of strip club stories that don't implicate you :iluvff::3some:

did you come home with a bag full of goodies for the car ??

My bro just back from driving a 458 through Switzerland and France for 10 days, was blown away by the car as you'd expect.. Gotta get me some Supercar action :dry:

In the mean time I gotta get exhaust manifold and turbo off and sort boost issues, will try and make that round, really like those courses, averaged about 5 seconds better than Gav in the last one we did :P but I think about 10 seconds behind Franz :huh: so different to the track

yeah, boy the course claimed some rims that night :woot:

    • 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       
    • 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).
