Intake manifold gasket fixed, booked in to finish off the E85 tune next week...

Now just to reflash the wideband to read E85 properly, swap brake pads, install the catch can and do an oil change.

Giggity :D

Boooooo :( That sucks, the cyls which killed plugs I'm guessing?

Yup

likely going to have to pull the head off to diagnose what went wrong

Couldn't get a refund and can't transfer the entry, and SAU dont do another round with circuit club this year. le sigh

Take your daily :P

Took the emo out to PI the other week, was feeling surprisingly good around the corners.
If I fixed up the brakes and put on some decent tyres it'd be a monster, and still completely stock :/

Still not as fun as the skyline to drive though...

http://www.circuitclub.com.au/page/faq -> What is the cancellation Policy on my ticket?

Looks like they do allow cancellation / postponement in exchange for a Circuit Club Credit Code... I don't see why they would say No to this, then you could just do a different circuit club event later in the year...

I ended up getting a refund :)

See you guys in a few rounds!

Looks like I'm out also for this round, still waiting on parts :(

how did you go about getting that refund, just a simple email?

I'll be leaving at 4:45am (for a S.E. Meet point, I will swing by Burwood Highway / Springvale Road Dan Murphy's Carpark at that time if others are coming too...), then meeting a few others at Wallan BP Outbound (~5km past the "Wallan" exit on the Hume) at 6am.

Express your interest now, or I'll just drive straight there :P

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
