Hey Leewah, I just noticed the avatar. Careful We'll start a trend. Damage caught on video will be the new rice.....

That avatar was made by a friend of mine who didn't have much else to do that day. He made it as a joke but I decided that coz I haven't run a 9 yet, this would be the next best thing to be animated....

Echos are awesome fun, driving down Lygon street I almost got a look from some girls in a 4wd:( I thought for a minute even I could get laid in a car like an Echo, but sadly that didn’t even do it for me:( … so I just thrashed it around Winton instead:thumbsup:

hahah Roy drives an Echo too :rofl:

so what do you *really* drive Vitz? ;)

Seriously, I own a ECHO but my other half drives it.

To tell you the truth, I drive a Honda Jazz. :thankyou:

It's not a Skyline but at least it is 1.5 ltr. VTEC POWER (if I get long enough straight to activate the bloody V-TEC). Doesn't do 0-100 km/h under 5 seconds but does 500 km under 40ltr.

Anyone else! NO? :jump: I thought so.

Cheers,

VITZ :devfu:

After driving the S2000 I helped a friend buy I was impressed by the redline and the power icrease of the vtec but you have to drive it like you stole it to make it all happen.

On the boil though it is a nice handling car. PI is a great place for them with plenty of flowing corners but Sandown would kill them with the 2 slow corners into long straights. I think winton would be a favoured place for the S2000.

40lt to 500km? I think my lynx would do that. The Lexobarge is good for almost 800km per tank (80lt @ 10km/lt)

That is the Purple GTR with 'Melbourne Performance Centre' sticker on the side.

There are a few of errors on the times, that 1.17 being one of them.

They have Ben's best time as a 1.17, but his second lap shows 1.16...?

The Porka RS shows a best time of 1.22 for one lap only, but for the rest of the day he was no where near that 1.22...?

They also had Snowy at around 1.26s towards the end of the day, when in fact he was struggling to break the 1.30 mark. :D

    • 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).
