Andy, where's the videos???? :D

had no idea what you were on about, turns out tomei call sumps oil pans? Or am I just retarded :P

Would your car really need a larger oil pan/sump? Might be a shitload of money for minimal gain... Could be spent on that exhaust instead :) Happy to be proven wrong on this, sif I know anything about SR20s (or engines for that matter)

I think its around $300 (excluding shipping) for the oil pan from who I can get it off. Heres a link to it.

dude, just get out there and drive it

there is no need for those mods for a few fun days out and about and then you can decide where to next!

says she who just spent 10k on mods for a car that has seen one track day in 2 years! lol

I drive a mostly Stock Stag ( suspension and brakes only - stock power ) and I have a ball. Stop thinking so much , get out and do. The beautiful thing about SAU:NSW , there is no judgement, just encouragement.

Thanks again for a fantastic day guys.

Had a ball, apart from that black ute making me feel inferior - next time i will have semi's and run in 4wd! (if he decides to bring the wrecksie)

quick clip of the double garage course - haven't edited the rest yet...

this is 99% true

other than one or two people who will flame on no matter how hard the new member is trying to fit in and play nice its by and large a very welcoming and supportive community.

I have been to track days with multiple other clubs and sure, everyone was friendly as and it could be that with SAU im seeing the same people over and over again which helps in building a 'relationship' somewhat but i still think its arguably a tighter knit crowd than the larger and more unwieldy groups you might find over at say the HSV club.

They dont even let you in if you dont have a factory delivered HSV (not just a badge modded commy), imagine if we tried that with SAU? we would have half the members lol

anyway back OT

only got to see the second half of the day but it was as impressive as ever, especially the 'rolla's sliding skills and Daves runway long powerslide. I jumped on afterwards for a quick attempt myself but it is clearly harder than it looks..

Cheers to Stevo for letting me have a go and then helpfully blaming my slight fail on the tyres being 'too sticky'

anyway will try and upload the few pics i took. watch this space.

heres my fbook album

some stolen from hicass, some from chookie.

a bunch in the second half are mind though

    • 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).
