1/8th mile (like the other meetings held there), and yes it is timed and you will get time slips after each run. there is also a chance to run dial your own against your friends. will confirm maximum numbers soon

its both Steve, two lanes.

Dial your own racing is very fair. it provides close competitive racing at a level you nominate (your quickest ET).

The slowest car out of the pairing will always leave first, and then the faster car will have to catch up once they are able to leave the line.

An ET is your time that it takes from when you leave at the staging lights, to when you cross the beams at the finish line. For street cars for this event, the quickest you will be able to run will be a 7.70, and for ANDRA Super Street Licence holders their time is a 7.00. This is over the eighth mile.

7.7 what? just run 3/4 throttle ?:laugh:

:rofl:

jeturbo if you have nothing constructive to say can you please refrain from commenting.

Easy now, he was just having a bit of fun :) Only problem I see is Mt Alma is on that weekend, you may lose a few interested parties

my other half runs a 10.5 in his street VY..........jeturbo has a little bit of catching up to do.

but anyway im not arguing about this. if he is as good as what he says he is then he should come and prove it. and support the day in raising money for kids cancer.

It does matter that its 1/8.

Regardless ill be at alma, closing off public roads for some fun sounds like my kind of weekend

I think you know there's a massssive group waiting for off street 1/4 at AIR which is only months away

thats fine josh but at least this event puts money to a much needed organisation rather than someones pocket. and you will find a few of those cars will make there way up to tailem anyway.

    • 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).
