You guys are idiots!!!!

But thats why I love ya's!!!

Of course all are welcome, but perhaps I think that this time we might make it that all newbies must sit in with an experenced driver for the first session. This way they can learn some of the lines and hopefully increase their enjoyment for the rest of the day.

What do you all think?

I will ring Tracey now and see what sort of a deal motoconcepts can offer us if we bring 15ppl.

Report back soon.

That sounds good to me - I'm a newbie and I'll take any tips I can get !!

Brendon,

When I went out for the first time in NOZILR i was so slow for my first few sessions, for the last session OZ97GTR rode with me and showed me how to take the lines etc and it was like i was driving a different car - i was keeping up with a GTR on the corners (or course he was losing me on the straights and exiting the corners)... well worth getting somebody experienced to sit in for your first session. I will get somebody to do it again when the 180 goes out (its MUCH more tail happy than the 'line!) ..

long sleeved shirt and long pants and a helmet - if you dont have it, buy it or borrow it, you wont get on the track without it.

clear the car RIGHT out too before hand.

Hey all,

I'm just waiting for motoconcepts to call me back. thought they would have by now. anyway, We usually work on a base figure of 15 cars minimum. This day will be the same. If we get 15 cars it will be a discounted rate, if we don't then it will be the three or more rate.

Usually we have about 18 cars that are supposed to be coming, and only 10 - 12 turn up. so this time, if your only a maybe then please say that. If you have time off and can definatly make it then and only then say that your definate.

I'll talk to you all soon,

Dan.

I will try and make it, but car is off the road at the moment.... put me down for 50% chance of coming.... Should be picking up the car this week... will confirm if the cars running good.

Thanks

Julian (haven't driven my car for a bloody month now)

I may be able to come depending if i get my car on the road by then... Also i just had a rebuild so when get it back the car will be running low K's and will not be worn in so i dont want to over do it on the track... Is it possible to drive on the track with a suspended licence?

    • 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).
