Time Attack Track day at the Midvale Speed Dome.

Spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis and if your name is on the list, you'll need to pay A.S.A.P.

We need AT LEAST 18 drivers with a maximum of 20 so everyone has as much track time as possible, and to ensure that the price of the day stays the same. Less drivers = more money per driver.

It will be a FULL day, but obviously you can come and go as you please.

The day will cost $175 including a BBQ lunch with hotdogs and salads.

The Speed Dome is a short course, so it suits quick accelerating and good handling cars, but there's a decent straight so your fast car can stretch it's legs a bit.

It will be an Autokhana/Superkhana/Time Attack style event, which essentially means driving really fast around a series of tight corners and short straights against the clock.

You will need your own, or access to the following things;

> Licenced & roadworthy car

> Helmet

> Long sleeve shirt and pants (cotton is best)

> Closed in shoes

Your car will be scrutineered before you are allowed to drive it on the track.

Basically, make sure the following things are done;

> Battery is secure

> Seatbelts lock under tension

> Tyres are not completely bald

> Loose objects are removed from cabin

> Your car is not falling apart

> Your car is not leaking vital fluids

Cost is $175 - payable BEFORE the day please.

Price will include Hot Dogs and drinks for the drivers only.

Spectators are most welcome, but will need to provide their own food and drink.

You will need to bring your own;

> Seats/blankets/cushions to sit on during the day.

> Sunscreen, just in case

> Insect repellent, just in case.

> Don't forget your tools, and spares just in case!

There's plenty of room to make a mistake, so rest assured that the worst that will happen is your car might get a little dirty.

It's always good fun, and it's mostly at slower speeds, so drive at the pace that you're most comfortable with. Your times will improve the more you drive.

There's a chance of some professional instruction on the day too.

The money is NON-REFUNDABLE so if you can't make it, find someone else to take your place.

Make sure your car is reliable, and will last the whole day. The price is the same whether you drive for 1 run or 12.

You may drive someone else's car (with their permission of course!), but that car will need to scrutineered also if it hasn't been already.

Lastly, the track is for everyone who is driving on the day. Each run takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds depending on the track's layout.

Don't dawdle, remember who you're after in the running order so that you're ready to go when it's your turn to race.

If you're deemed to be unsafe on the track, you get 1 warning only. After that, no more driving for you.

You will need to let me know A.S.A.P. if you intend on driving, so that I can advise and pay the venue, and sort out the running order for the day.

Feel free to contact me with any questions that are not answered above ^^

Thanks :)

What I'm doing at the moment, is putting people's names on the drivers list to see how many we have for the day.

Payment details will be sent to those people who PM me with their first and last name.

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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).
