I'm thinking of going to PI for the PIARC track day on the Sunday does that count?

ha, I push my luck to enter two events a month, let alone a weekend. If only it was my birthday, though I've already had too many of those for my liking!

I'm thinking of going to PI for the PIARC track day on the Sunday does that count?

Have a few mates going to PI for the PIARC day.. I just figured that Winton is closer.

Also going to winton this weekend as well, so hopefully my car doesn't break :P

i would but i dont really feel like replacing a bunch of parts when i get home as my car is stock as a rock

a stock car is more reliable than a modified one, also if your coming to spectate may as well volunteer to help us out ;)

yeah but these parts are all stock and alot of them original if i go around reving the S#%T out of it ill blow or butcher some old part or something like that, well that what ive been told by a relative who is a genius mechanic he said if i want to track it i should intall heavy duty parts that are designed to be givin a hammering + someone might crash into my car :P i just like to watch and enjoy :)

hmmm well stock parts are ment to handle what the car can do in stock form, but yeah thats my 2 cents (also im a mechanic)

anyways come along and have some fun. Bring a helmat, long sleeve shirt/jumper, long pants and you can also ride along with people ;)

as parts get older, wear out / deteriorate they may fail under heavy loads. well thats what ive been taught by someone i trust. full respect to your opinion i do keep an open mind with cars cause there are so many opinions!

ill definitly come along though thank you! would be cool to get a ride too see how my luck goes :3some:

    • 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).
