SAU NSW Exec team was approached by Nulon and given the task to select the teams and as i had some free time i took it on... I arranged both rounds one and two and for round three i needed help so i c

I do want to add that it is easy to openly critique an event like this that is open to the public. But I applaud Nulon for taking a grass roots approach to come directly to us clubs for the event. T

Q. What would the other teams do differently if/when Nulon runs this again? Can that be anticipated?

Q. Was the distribution of points well researched and performed?

Anecdote:- One of my patients is part of the Monaro Club, and upon seeing how well the 'rice burners' performed, became most impressed.

link?

you'd have to create a user and login anyway.

They have been saying they are the only ones that kept to their forum models(all drove evo), and that we had evo and others.

Apparently we also didn't carry drivers over between rounds?

The rules were changed after the first event by Nulon themselves.

We were the only team to keep it all within our make at least, we ran all Nissans.

We could have kept Skylines and still won the event but decided to mix it up a little in the final round.

All of our members offered to back up the rounds but it was decided between Kat and Myself that we would put a strong team together for the last round and take out the series :yes:

I could have run the airport round but decided i would step aside and let the faster guys through! I think it was a wise choice as the team Kat put together was a kick ass combo!

Winning is always going to upset the first loser... Suck it Evo's lol!

I'm a member I had a read, nothing bad on there. One of the guys was of the opinion that we brought in a Falcon and an Evo but I've set them straight on that.

One thing I've pointed out too is that unlike other clubs, our cars aren't made anymore so I think it's great we've stuck to all Nissans given how long they've been out of production! Technically even an R35 GTR is stepping outside our make.

But as we all know SAU is welcoming to everyone.

And I can't speak for other rounds, but if I had to choose a team again for Round 3 I wouldn't change a thing. Awesome bunch of guys that really pitched in and helped each other when needed. True team effort all day.

Same applied for Round 2 in terms of team work. We had quite a lot of support come to the track and help around the pits etc... These guys are what makes SAU a fantastic club to be a part of... Although they were not driving they were still a big part of the team!

Yeah wakie and coota were awesome. wish I had got to see the hill climb as well.

the other thing re: changing cars for different rounds gives everyone a chance of running.

I'm sure there are guys with 9 sec evos in the evo oz club who would have loved the chance to run at coota. but they stuck to the same guys.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
