Went for a bit of a spin!

Had a blast and Dan came third overall for the day with a 1.08!

Best I managed was 1.12 so I definitely have a long way to go with my driving, but still a PB for me. And the D2's make a HUGE difference to my confidence, damn they pull up hard.

Anyway, the old girl is off for a few more changes, should be interesting when it comes back :yes:

If you're running the D2 pads (I used to distribute them) you'll find they don't last a very long time. As dar as budget set-ups go I dont think they can be beaten. Best thing you can do to them is throw a set of Project Mu HC+ at them. We found them to work incredibly well with the D2 setup. You'll never look back.

I heading to wakefield tomorrow to wake my GTR up for the first time in a few years.

Last time I was there I ran a 1:12 and that was with about 260kw and 16x8" street rubber (old potenza GIII) and full trim with stock brakes, suspension and diffs. You definately have the potential to go faster :yes:

So Im hoping to quicken that time a little now with the extra work done.

Still has stock suspension and diffs, but better brakes, semis and a little more poke.

Should be interesting :D

Booked In to Sept track day yet!?!

Not yet! Need to see if the car will be running by then!

The kit came with street pads which got promptly thrown in the bin. We ran Winmax W5 pads which were f**ken awesome for the money. Highly recommended.

    • 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).
