Okay thanks mate!!

I'll come down on the 8th to watch and meet people!!

Before I end on hitting the track see how people get ready and how they set everything up!

I don't want to look like a complete rookie :)

Everyone has been there. We'll have an SAU VIC garage so come say hi.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there has been any decision on the classes you are running for this years championship? With only 5 days before Round 1 it would be good to see who is racing against each other... ;)

We have a good number of cars entered for this round. We want to see how it pans out and make sure that everyone had an opportunity to get involved. So we'll be looking at the classes after the round.

The classes look interesting - going from the 2015 championship spreadsheet in the Round1 thread.

Classes did need a bit of a shuffle with a few people being handicapped to only 6pts per round last year due to lack of competition etc.

Understand Rnd 1 was a bit unusual as we had such good numbers guess we'll see out it pans out.

Round 3 Broadford is not going ahead at this stage ( but working on a day later in the year).

We are have been discussing other options but its not looking good at the moment.

Hopefully myself or John will have an update next week.

Got my 2015 cams license yesterday, when did they ditch the stickers and move to a card?

Probably because it's easier for dodgy people to print their own fake stickers ? More effort in counterfeiting a physical card, and can have more features added like holographic layers, etc.

I think the cards are cool, your very own FIA-approved credentials :P

    • 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).
