At our most recent REACT club meeting our Clerk of Course has said that hooning around will not be discouraged at all.

Tyre smoke will not be frowned upon as long as you are attempting to complete the course. A static burnout will be frowned upon, as will doing donuts and both will earn you a chat from the CoC. That said, there is a lot of latitude in what "attempting to complete the course" means :P :kewl:

I received an entry from "SupaFly Skyline" yesterday - the first skyline to enter :(

Neil - could you send me a competed entry form with your details? There are now 4 places left and I'm sure we'll get people trying to enter on the day. I'd hate for you to drive down from Sydney and then not be able to compete.

You can sign and pay on the day but if I have a form I'll hold a place for you. Send it to [email protected] (I've PM'd you too)

See you Sunday! :burnout:

Yep Andrew and I had a ball. I did my usual 2 wd's but I'm used to that. I've finally got the handbrake/powerslide thing down pat. Now just gotta teach Andrew as well.

I'm itchin for the results,,,I might have made the top 10.

Yeah, had a pair of WD's, spewing as one of them was on my last run of the day and thought it felt a lot faster than the first run on that test

I think the trick to the handbrake/powerslide thing is the timing, isnt it?

Well seems I came in 12th out of 42 cars,,,.The results show I wded the last course which was the "Oh what a feeling" but thats crap,,,I did a 29.39 and a 29.13 with no penalties. I don't really care cause it was all in good fun and I won my class anyway.

Duncan I have the h-brake/clutch stuff sorted and I started trying different approaches and what seemed to work was when I had enough speed up going to a flag I pushed the clutch in and rolled into the beginning of the apex and then used the combo again. It made the back of the car much more settled.

Yep now that I have the rotor I can't see me stuffing around with the Pulsar,,,Mind you,,, you know you only ever have to ask if you need help with the 810.

BTW datto has new axle thanks to Neil's Fantastic EB Falcon S/W Tow Car, 810 :(

So would you like me to see if it fits next Saturday?. Here's the plan,,,you work on the GTR and Tosh and I will do the 810 or I'll do the 810 on my own.

hey mate...thanks for the offer (and the edit ;)) at this stage its all gtr next weekend in the outlandish hope that it will hit the road one day. I might just try and sling the axle in one night this week, shouldnt be too hard hopefully.

I'd love to know how to get those damn broken axles out though :( maybe i need a bigger hammer and pry bar :confused:

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
