Sau Vic 2013 Motorsport Championship Round 5 - Pi Sunday June 16


Recommended Posts

Bah, don't need rear brakes. JK

BTW the small rattle in the EVO turned out to be a cracked piston.

Also the next WRX PI is looking for 125 cars to enter, and the cost is up to $250.

Brake fluid is quite important - and the leak is so bad, non stays in the car :verymad: . Taarks are should have the rebuild kit in next week. Going from Natsoft, we're not the only ones who didn't make it.

Sorry to hear about the craked piston and subsequent costs so WRX prices hikes don't help - wasn't yet aware of this one.

Part of the reason for the price increase ( and number of cars) is that it is also a round of the CAMS sprint championship, hence the 95dB allowance.

That thing sounded awesome! I have a video of the whole session...

The GT3 was on slicks and ended up setting times in mid 1.30's... Scared the piss outa me on the pit grid when we started the session

It was awesome watching you chase that GT3 FINER6. Good effort.

Wasn't a big SAU turnout but ended up being a good day yesterday. The stock Prius did well I thought @ 2:05.

Bring on the next day!

Mate awesome video great driving. That GT 3 had the 4.0L in it couldn't catch it but had a lot of fun chasing it.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info. I'll wait to see if the numbers stay near 80'ish and maybe enter then. Ta.

Hope that goes to the penguins. They are the ones who suffer from the noise right??

They use it for a sea taxi to go party with their mates on the St Kilda forshore.

SAU don't seem to have a round in July so guess a 95db PI is up for grabs.

    • 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).
