just watched the last bathurst worth watching... 1992.... we all know it. the thing ive always wanted to see is how Jim Richards bent the LHF corner of the GTR in the first place. Was there any amateur footage taken?

And was that shell ever repaired or did it get scrapped?

im sure it'll be on SAU or google somewhere but ive been searching for an hour and cant find it....

I assume you mean brake pads Jenna?

Go QFM HPX or A1RM pads - I have run them on my R34 and V35 and love them for street use.

Nope, handbrake shoes - as I said. Pads are great, already have QFM pads on there for a few years now - I love 'em :)

Gonna give JIS a call now - thanks for the tip there Pete.

I've found some places online in the UK selling drift ones, but I'd prefer to not wait that long (and I don't need anything special). Judging by how worn they are, I'm guessing they're still the original handbrake shoes that came with the car.

Edit:

Just tried JIS - no luck. Apparently they usually stock Project Mu, but none available at the moment :(

Who'da thought handbrake shoes would be such a pain?

Have you tried GSL Rallysport at all?

I'm pretty sure they deal with project mu so you might be able to get brake shoes through them.

They have always been really helpful whenever i have needed anything, and there customer service is great.

I'll give GSL Rallysport a shot. I cant remember if they're the mob I got my QFMs through or my RDAs - but I've definitely bought stuff from them before.

I did find these ones on eBay - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150477253998 (they also do a fitting kit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130521829126) - so that's my last option if I can't find anyone who's reasonably priced locally.

Thanks guys - you all rock :D

not 100% sure if these are helpful cause im at work and cant watch them...

theyre both from the tv coverage of the final big pile-up..

i want to find footage of the accident that happened a minute before that, where the front wheel was disabled

before i choose who to back, is there any word on what the merc will look like, or if they will even be entering? ive heard that there will be no corporate backing and people want out....

Shame cause I daresay Mercs will cream the local lads and probably give Nissan a genuine run for their money. If they dont enter, (and Im biased here) I'd consider Nissan in a prime position to win every race >:D

-D

of course Nissan will win... even if a race is red flagged early.... (just getting the joke in before any ford lovers do)

it would be fitting if the fords and holdens all had red and blue lights on the roof to mimic reality.... cops chasing nissans

Was funny, i heard today "...with the return of nissan, the "bad boys" of v8 supercars...."

you almost get the feeling that mercedes doesnt belong there....

    • 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).
