Pity ive got to work, hope all goes well Ross would be good to see another GTR posting some quick times...

(was that clasified as another Snide Remark)

MMMMmmmmmm......Nope not snide! :) That was mainly positive! Got a SPEED magazine photo shoot on wednesday! Yippy! So ill be in the magazines soon, with Dyno and time sheet. Looking forward to that!

cool, my car was in The special issue of GTS skylines in hpi this month just to bring back the memories

Unfortunitly i dont have any contacts at HPI otherwise i would be bugging them for an article!

Going to build up another R34 GTR after this one and go in a slightly different direction with it. Just have to sell my current 34, and when i come back from overseas i'll have a real surprize install with what iam planning to do.

so how did you go?

I'm sure Ross can fill us in with the exact details, but to the best of my knowledge he proved that AWD, big revs and solid power do not necessarily equal quick 1/4 numbers. They can equal broken gearboxes though!

What was your best terminal speed Ross?

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
