Yea joe, I agree.

Was cramped for space, Bluddy loud with everyone trying to outdo each other and the driving events couldn't have been any further away if they tried.

The Khana I saw looked a bit mickey mouse with not much scope for ,Ahh, ermm, free expression :mad:

Was some nice lines on display and in the carpark tho, so that pleased me .

I think gradenko left something out.

got rice?

i mean cmon, as if excels arent slow enough, add 300kg of stereo and body kit, how about some stripes, oh yeah, excessive neons, then youve got yourself a car, as AW11 put it 500 ricepower.

although, there were a few nice cars, i liked the women, i mean stereo stand.

But on a more positive note...SilviaWA won the "Perth's Hottest Club" award. Not too bad for the 1st time out. We had a heap of fun, did ALL the events etc etc. I was suprised that more of the show and shine entrants did not do the driving events and dyno. I always thought cars were meant to be driven.

Drank a lot of beer on Saturday night into the wee hours of Sunday morning hehe.

:D

Adam, where did you get those figures from? From what I remember, it went something like this for the SilviaWA boys:

Me - 159hp (have major fueling and boost control issues at the moment, so ran car at near stock boost)

Justin - 219hp

Patrick - 259hp

Michael - 198hp

Michael - 180hp

Josh - 165hp

The figures were not all that great but everyone seemed to be down on previous runs at other dyno dynamics dyno's.

And it is all very well and good to have 400hp etc, but if you cant get the power down, or drive it, or beat someone on the track with 1/2 the horsepower that you have...what is the use? I am over all the "my d1ck is bigger than your's" when it comes to dyno stuff.

At the end of the day track times count, not dyno sheets.

I agree that track/drags is where it counts

but I also think a good dyno shootout is well worth the effort, since they do split it down to catagories so each car is fairly comparative (apart from lil R Rated cars) and is all fair

was the yellow R33 a Fibrevisdion effort or something?? Coz I was standing behind the dude from fb and when they go 322bhp he got all happy and giddy, and he and that guy with the s14 started congratulating each other..!?

I didn't think they tuned?? Hence Fibrevision??

Or am I just f*kn stupid??

...don't say anything actually :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
