awesome matt!!!

i was thinking of just using my street tyres, but i told mum to bring me up a couple stockies on her visit this weekend :), dont want to lose to much tread on my federals!

Yeah I'll bring some 17s I think and if I can make

It fit I'll bring the Trolley jack too so its easy....

What do people normally do? Load the back seat with tyres? I'm a Noob!!

Go to your local $2 shop and buy a doona/thick blanket. Put that over the back seat if you can't be bothered taking the seat out. That will protect your seat fabric. Then put a jack in, and fill the rest with wheels haha. If you're heading down with a mate (or have someone coming who will let you borrow theirs) then I'd suggest bringing one jack and sharing it

I'll be bringing a jack up, but it's kinda crap. some of the guys bring their awesome massive ones that go under the diff...

Yeah I have my neighbours one in my shed, it's one of the big workshop jacks, but if there will be others there that ppl don't mind us using it may save the hassle, we are cruising from Newcastle

So the less we carry the better :P

And yeah, I reckon covering the seat is the go, too lazy to remove it!

Yeah stockies are pretty skinny... The 17s super fugly rims might fit.... Trial and error I guess.... Anything else really needed on the day? Or just turn up and make an ass of myself?

Women! 4 in the back seat 265's, 2 in the boot and toolbox in the passengers seat.

Spend half the day changing tyres cause u kill them every 2 runs: annoying as f**k

But worth it :P I can't wait!!

Have a good breakfast, we have bbq for lunch. Also a few of the regulars go to dinner after at a local steak place, you're welcome to come along - we start eating about 6pm and finish by 8pm so you'll be getting home a bit later but it's totally your call. That goes for anyone really, any club members come along and budget $50 for food and a drink or two

Bring a hat and sunscreen if you're prone to sunburn. Other than that - just turn up and don't be afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure what to do. It's very straightforward in the morning though; get there with time to spare, find a spot for your stuff, empty the car out and put the wheels on you want to use, then join the line for scruitineering and sign on (license check etc, bring club membership card), then go back to your spot and wait for drivers brief.

EDIT: Don't forget to bring the correct clothing for driving (long sleeves and enclosed shoes etc as in the supp regs)

4th gear synchro is too-ted and it also locks out of 2nd occasionally.... That and some strange noise intermittently.... There was a lot of metal on the plug last oil change :/

Only one thing to do about it really...

Skids!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
