My brother ran a 12.09 in his r34 skyline on his crap street tyres. And I snapped my right rear axel on the first launch in the stag ;( the way the 4wd system is set up it went from 4wd to 1wd not cool, sticky track manual box and 340kw = SNAP ... Oh we'll next time , will have w/m injection up and running and boost turned up next time too. just got to get the shopping car to get of the line

^^lol, i wondered what the 60ft was..plenty of meat left there with a converter...

nice sleeper man..i tip my hat to you.

I didn't look, does your car have sunroofs or leather/heated seats(was just wondering how much it weighed)

was good to meet you

cheers

How many runs each did you get? Interested to know with that many cars there.

Could you line up against who you wanted, or did you just join a queue and whatever was next to you once you got to the line was it?

I miss the old Wednesday night drag meets from all so long ago :(

Hmmmm sounds like you need a nice nismo 2 Way to get you off the line, haha.

I've got some driveshafts here that might fit if your interested. R33 ones and R32 ones

No leather or sunroofs, and rwd only. Been meaning to get it on a weighbridge and see what it weighs.

Was good to talk to you too, cant wait to see more stageas out 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).
