lol... Pauls gunna get beat :woot:

Haha it did cross my mind. Well the 34 isn't a sure thing yet so I may still cheat. And if I am cheating might need to scramble some exhaust, tune and tyres on to keep up with some of youse. If I am not cheating she can work around the boiled brake fluid and shagged tyres haha!!

So I wont be attending anymore sorry. Some car troubles at Winton yesterday.

Hope everyone has fun though. Can someone please fly the BNR/Street Tyre flag for me?

Definitely yes!

So you're not even coming up for the day? Drive someone elses car. Someone will let you drive!

If you lose to Kat you're never going to hear the end of it!

Hey guys,

I have a fair bit of stuff coming with me (tools, spare wheels, etc) Is there a place to put them where they wont get stolen?

I've got some fairly expensive wheel's that will be sitting off the car and dont want to have to bring another car for a 2.5hr drive to just lock stuff in it...

usually people put stuff in the carpark area, nothing has been stolen before

ive left my old work equips out near the skidpan before (which is the busiest area) and had no problems

We take up a lot of big dollar gear and in 6 years (4 times a year) nothing has been pinched. Everyone keeps an eye on everyones stuff.

As for the questions re unreg/unroadworthy cars, this event has nothing to do with road rules. Only thing we care about is that the car is safe.

haha I always leave the keys in the ignition of my car there..

tools boxes, rims jacks blah blah dump in the morning load up in the evening.

even left some stuff there once and it got picked up, the guy who picked it up posted in the thread and I recovered!!

    • 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).
