A heap of us heading down to the Mt Alma Mile this Saturday. Anyone keen to cruise down together I propose we meet at somewhere like Castle Plaza 9am? Thoughts?

SAU guys running include:

Josh Boag

Andrew Migas

Jenkies (assuming his car is 100% together)

A few other Skyline guys will be there including:

Luke Bosman

Hayden Buckingham

And a ton of other Skylines (including quite a few R35GTRs I believe).

And of course the Willall lads will have their R35GTR WR1000 and the WR86 there too.

Should be an awesome day!

Hey gdawg, which 32 were you? Was in the gold 32 GT-r (dads). First time there myself, was hanging with Mark (Jenkies) and a few mates. Agreed, going back down after the first run really show's you how steep the track is.

Did see Migas out, did you know if it was his car or another white 33 that was on the flat bed truck? Noticed it on the way down. And regarding the black 35gtr not sure, but there was abit of smoke coming out from under the engine bay when it passed us at the top on the flat-bed truck - not sure what though, no physical damage external damage.

Will be back out there tomorrow!

Apparently the black GTR did some decent damage putting a piston through block. Well, that's what I was told.

Had a great event with no dramas besides exhaust temp sensor working itself loose. Managed a 54.something with pretty minor mods and hifly rear shitty as tyres.

I was the slow white 32 with cable tied bumper haha. Was next to your dad cause I had a chat with him.

Well wouldn't say 54 with those mods, tyre spin was all that slow :) Definitely remember the car as think your mate had the read soarer? Was great weather for it!

Cheers for the head's up on the 35, definitely not good lasting half a run :/ Them's the brakes...

Our black R35 GTR still runs fine guys. We started it up and ran it for a bit when it came down the bottom. It did however overheat very quickly on the second run and blew the coolant out the overflow. More investigation required here, but mechanically its still in one piece. The commentators get a little excited at times up there :)

Ive had the plain silver 32 GTR, was parked up with the scooby doo club near the toilets most of the weekend

Love how steep it is, holds the gears for ages (highlighting my lack of grunt)

Great event, just dont have the balls f steel that some ppl do :)

Well done to Jenkies, first time out also... that car has the grunt to contend with the big boys based on first split tiems and speed, just need aome avons and a couple more sighting runs

    • 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).
