Glad to see the perk in interest.

Like others indicated it isn't a full on track day but great way for folks to go see what it's like for a taste. There are lots of other opportunities but expect them to be around a few hundred bucks for a track day and 50-70 for a skidpan. But then there are requirements like motorsport licenses and fire extinguishers.

If you've ever wondered about motorsport but sitting on the fence get in on this if you can!

Technically I think you need a fire extinguisher for this. From what I read in the regs. I'm yet to receive a email with the extra details they said they'd send.

Best to check with them if you dont have one.

What did you recieve?

All I got was an email saying they recieved it and everything looked fine. More info in the coming weeks.....

Will say Hi,

don't laugh too hard when you see a Volvo out there.... :P

i'll come down and take pic's :)

BTW 1:14.77 to beat!

1.06.1 to beat :D

however, for 30 bucks you guys cant go wrong for this day, more the atmosphere too, it'll be fun!

Ill be there definately with my blue GTST 33. You cant miss that either. Im sure there was only limited spots so im guessing all of the drivers will meet at some point :) cant wait to put her on a real race track and not just a skid pan or air strip. Wondering if i need helmet or not. I already have extinguisher so thought helmet might be a good idea :) Getting excited only a week to go.

Great im the only one in the red group :( Looks like ill have to represent SAU alone. The red group is starting at 730am! then yellow, blue green, the times looking at the scedule are spread over the whole day. I will probably stick around and watch some of you guys as i have nothing else on that day :) Ill make sure to come say hi. If you want to watch me set your alarms early lol.

think cause i was so early in my rego like december last year i got first group :( should have held off :( oh well ill show up all the comadores and falcons for u guys lol

    • 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).
