Would an ls180 be ok to enter? Has mufflers but very loud haha

Would be fine to me.

As long as the mufflers are effective in diminishing the engine sound and it meets the regulations.

Heya guys,

Am I a current SAU member?

I'm keen to do some controlled skids this weekend if there's space.

Mark :)

Definitely lots of space! Checking into membership details so i'll let you know.

haha

so Tom isn't too sure his car will still be quiet enough!

Nick is our Scrutineer, so I'll ask him what he thinks

Rule of thumb with all venues is 92-95db at 30m

Now if it's a street car and doesn't get defected for noise on a regular basis it's fine by me

If it's a race car and hasn't had issues at trackdays then again I am happy with it competing

Hi, Yes we have spots left.

Drifting is not allowed because of insurance reasons.

We just can't allow linking of all the traffic cones and need to see a clear demonstration that it isn't a total drift of the course.

Ok yeah, heard that from my dad as he hires the venue sometimes.

Figured some sideways is alright then? Lol

Getting sideways, a bit crossed up and flicking yourself around the cones is ok. You can link a few cones in drift style but not all.

    • 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).
