I was talking to a guy at work the other day and they were up there friday night too. apparrently you just ring them during the day to check if its on.

i could be keen to come down if there are a few people going

dezzus i just got my alignment all set up earlier today. zero'd out the camber on the rear because it was squatting like a frog. Things good to go.

Flyingfridge - im going 100%, its been way too long since iv run a number and ive never run it since i did all this work.

I was just spectating on the Friday gone, it was a pretty good turnout, lots or Skylines running and some pretty decent numbers too.

Btw Calder is traditionally shocking at cancelling stuff at the last minute (we hiked up the other week for nothing), so make sure you call to confirm on the day, the number and other info here: http://www.calderparkdragracing.com.au/

Have been planning on going soon as well, been getting ready for a few weeks, just need to buy a full face helmet. Someone should organize an event :)

Anyone know anywhere to get a cheap/decent helmet that meets the standards? Gonna try local Suzuki bike dealer, although heard they're pricey...

I got mine from http://www.amxsuperstores.com.au/ $100 full face helmet. If I was getting into some more high speed track work, I'd be going for a more expensive higher quality one though.

You'll need a proper snell approved helmet. It is protecting your melon after all. I use my dirt bike helmet which seems to keep them happy.

Hopefully next week it stays dry and is a little on the crisp side at night. Should be awesome.

according to that site no street meet until the 7th.....

Im planning to race my r33 on a friday night up at calder. Is it still like the old days you just roll up pay and run or do i haveto book online and all that jazz? any help appreciated.

Make sure you have cash on you as they don't take cash. I ran on Friday for the 1st time in 2 years and didn't realize. Had to run to the servo to get cash out. $65 to enter and $25 to spectate.

Phillis, mates mate went the other night, pretty sure he didn't book or anything, but he got knocked back for excessive camber (drift car), and they didn't let him run..

I was next to that bloke getting scrutineered. They didn't let him run cos his tyres were basically rubbing on his guards and he was being a wanker.

Whyd you haveto pay 25 to spectate though?

Because it's a fun night out with hours of entertainment and they need a little thing called money to pay bills and keep the lights on (literally).

Fun night out with hours of entertainment that requires a little thing called money? Sounds like a night with your sister :)

Gtrjet: if I enter my car its just entry fee for me and spectators fee for anybody else yes? Or enter the car and pay that 25 fee ontop?

    • 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).
