Tosh, Bonkers & Jono - Excellent times :)

 

 What is with the 323 Wagon Block of Flats that runs a 1:13 ??? Sheite ! :D

Jesus that thing was quick. The slicks must have helped it out of the corners cos once it hit the straight there was no stopping it. Massive turbo and external wastegate but from what I could see it was only running a 12A. :burnout:

Thanks for the pointers tosh. Ya helped me keep from ending up in the wall you unfortunately visited previously. With that and the advanced drivers tips, I easy dropped a second in lap times. Just gotta get ahold of some suspension mods for at least another second.

I felt a top day was had by all and cheers to the organisers and helpers on the day.

Did you require a helmet - do you guys all own them or do they lend you them on the day? My Dad wants to come a long to one. If we are in one car and we pay the passenger fee also, could he have a couple of drives (i.e. share the driving?

Thanks

Ben

Ben yes you will require a helmet, wakefield do hire them out if you need one.

Yes you can share the driving but each driver pays full price.

And finally....this day was 12 days ago!

Thanks Duncan - Yeah I realise this is over, just enquiring for next one :cheers:

Should be great - got the new rear shocks in (old ones were dead) so I think it may be ready for the track. How much pads do use, I'm about 50% all round, should be alright I'm guessing..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
