If the weather is kind (sposed to be a few showers) I'll most likely drop down to spectate for the afternoon.

will be on my way home from the A.C.T.so i want to call in and do some testing.Having probs with spark and/or plugs think i might have to invest in some splitfire coils.Had an embarrasing sit at autosalon on dyno as plugs were incorrect and they gave me 5mins to change them on the dyno still probs but made 357kw.was leading comp but supra owner and friend daniel decided to have another go and did me by 8kw.Gapped them down at jakes perf.in canberra and made 380kw.so if weather is ok we will see how we run.

Pretty average day really, hardly any spectators and nowhere near as many competitors as I expected. Hopefully it's not like this every Saturday otherwise I think I might have to compete again and do 8 laps like most of the other cars :)

Yeah i got there about 12 and i couldnt believe the small numbers!!

I thought about going home and getting my car and i reckoni would have got atleast 8 runs in.

In the last hour i counted one car go thru 5 times!

There was a beautiful R32 GTR there which did 12's all day, I suspect is was a lady driving as well.

Adrian i saw your beast in the carpark, how come you didnt run?

Also what happened to your mates STi on his last run (18sec)?

That would have been Stace's (first post of this thread).

Looked like 2nd was causing some grief but 12.5's all day i'd be quite happy with :)

Waiting for new rubber :)

Missed 3rd gear. The 6 speed is really close between shifts and he routinely misses gears. We stripped out all the excess shit in his car, (spare wheel, mats, tools, cd's etc), and fitted the bleed valve, set the boost to 1.2bar and he went 12.7 then 12.6. Not bad considering it's only got minimal mods. FMIC, Exhaust, Springs, Pod. Was fun watching the Defi boost guage play the run back :rant:

Benm, I don't think Stace was happy with 12.5's :)

yeh, managed a best of 12.3. Did 9 runs had excellent fun, not as scared any more. Just couldnt seem to get the power down and the gear changes quick enough. Constantly did 12's (12.7,12.5,12.5,12.6,12.4,13.6,12.3,13.0), except when I missed a gear and went from 2nd to 5th.......13.6, and still won!!). Need to get spiltfire coils as the spark was blowing out and I had to reduce the boost down to 1.5 bar. Need to learn how to do a burnout so I can get the tyres hotter, as I had some wheel spin off the line. Maybe setup a switch to turn the fronts off. Bit embarrasing as I was the only car all day not doing a burnout . Car sounds different now with no muffler (like a 13B, poor me!!).

But you're just a chick :rant: Try stuffing burnouts up when you're a bloke :)

ROFL!!!

Now I know how to do them properly I wave to the officials and the camera guys while I'm doing them :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
