Awesome afternoon. The Evo guys loved it. I finally got to run my Evo for the first time & managed a 12.30 @114mph.

Does anyone know what Phil's best time was in the R35 GTR? I need to pass the info on for an internet article.

Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline...

I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.

only be way to find out

Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out.

Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday.

I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.

Not I :(

I have however ordered some slimline engine mounts to fit my 2.5in intake and 2.5in incercooler piping that have been sitting in the box since xmas. Might as well turn a gearbox removal into a positive right?

Got to the end of the quarter, slowing down, tried to shift from 4th to 3rd and it wouldn't go. Perma stuck in 4th. Was working my way into the launches having never been on MT's before. Didn't feel like I had a single clean run unfortunately. Only made 1 trip to the timeslip booth and collected 2. 1 said 12.5 @ 123, the other said 17.5 at 77.

Wideband saved me again on that run. After burnout I noticed lean. Kept a keen eye on afr's, sure enough under boost was too lean. I had figured the boost feed for FPR had come off, and I was correct, pulled up to check and it was flapping in the breeze.

Every modified boosted car should have a wideband IMO. Cheap insurance.

Engine out?

Nope not engine out. Will sling it and slide the mounts out and install the slimlines :P

Hey mate, where did you get your helmet from. And how did the horse run.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
