ROY BOY.... Theres another speed shop in Oakleigh GMP racing which i used to get alot of race gear from for the Formula 3.... they have a bit more in the way of car products as opposed to racing apparel from Revolution Racegear....... hey also good news on that note, Im dragging the Formula 3 out of the factory to compete in the Australian Grand-Prix at albert park... Formula 3 is one of the support catagorys... Im not driving my new car however because im hopefully leasing that to another driver for that event and I am far to unfit and slow at the moment to race it to its full potential... Thats what 7-8 months off the track does to you.

LA Designs used to do custom paint jobs on my helmets... I have had about 4-5 helmets done by them. really high quality stuff.... Approx prices vary from what you want... allow somewhere around $1000 for a fairly good design

Hope thats a help for ya buddy.... Ohh by the way. wanna buy my 33GTST ?? haha enjoy

Well thats the thing, with my race seat in the car, it has so heavily bulstored that if i try to put the seat belt on, it just hits the sides of the seat, sure as heel doesnt touch me. So in an accident i move out of the seat 3-4" before i come in contact with the std setabelt which is tight against the seat.....so i need to use the harness:) I dont really care, i only have the seat in the car when going to/from the track

Oh...and whislt im pi55ing money into the wind...anyone know someone that is good with an airbrush that can paint helmets?

One of my neighbour paint airbrush for living and i seen him always bussy with his airbrush. Let me know if you want me to hook up with him. I think his price will not be high because he do his work in his garage. That how i know he paint air brush everyday.

I don't know if they'll have your stuff, but i'm going to get some work done at David Levy Motors or Motorsport... i know they are involved in some race stuff.... prepping an E36 M3 at the moment...

maybe give them a call?? Not sure how far from you that is tho....

Roy my neighbour swears by his mate's airbrushing tallent. Only catch is that he is about 16yrs old (the artist), but on the other hand, he will be a lot cheaper than most other people.

Your call, but it doesn't hurt to pay him a visit and look at his "portfolio".

GMP racing products also stock the schroth harnesses and HANS devices... I was thinking of organising a group buy for the schroth profi-III harnesses in place of the recent group buy which didnt go as planned...

:)

thats prob a good idea :D

Check the links in the "welcome to vic" thread.

If you want to paint your helmet, take into account that it may not pass pit inspection.

Paint/stickers etc can cover up cracks which would render the helmet useless in an accident, and some venues won't pass a helmet if it is painted. (especially if the safety standards sticker has been removed in order to paint it)

    • 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).
