not too sure if there are many pictures of the car going sideways, it was a bitch getting the balance of enough power vs too much vs too little. In fact the best corners were number 2 and 3. Only sort of linked the S bends once or twice all day. Still, it was my first attempt and I had a blast

would be good to see more SAU members out there next time.

Had a ball, not many people on the track, so heaps of runs.  Definately be at the next one, no matter what I am driving:p

thanks for the loan of the wheels Chris, will get them back to you soon:)

No probs mate.

It was good to see that the overall standard has improved a great deal since the first few drift days I had seen.

I think with Mallala eing used as well, the speeds where a lot greater than you'd see at Pt Gawler, so it was good to see.

Nice mix of cars as well

The Blitz R34 D1 car, try find a mpeg somewhere of that, its one of the most spectacular drift cars I have seen

The ex JMS Red R33 was also there, that sounded great, and there were a few other 'lines drifting quite well.

I'd say its more down to personal preference, but most people choose the S13/S14/S15 it seems. They sound like a crap though compared to RB's

only my opinion of course :)

I agree, cheap 4cyl crap. No offence to any SR owner :wassup: Remember this is a skyline forum so ANYTHING else is CRAP.

Dean, click on the thumbnail, and you get a big picture - its like magic...LOL

Nozilla, yeah, see a few R32s and R34s in Jap D1 videos. I dont think its the torque, although it doesnt hurt - probably due to being a lighter platform and the fact that silvias handle like a go kart with just coilovers. Not sure really.

    • 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
