yeah a very sad story but it will be back soon :rolleyes: It went back to the machine shop on Fri and we should have it back to start again on Tue. Hoping to have the engine back in and running by w/end after next.

And we've pretty much finished up the interior too, seats, harnesses, kill switch, data logger.

Still need to reinstall bushes, subframe, diff, suspension, brake lines....but its getting close, probably 100% ready in 4 weeks

Sick... must be pretty stressfull. I know if it was me I would be throwing spanners across the garage if that happened. What are the rules for the touring category in regards to brakes and diffs - free for all, do what want type thing?

fatz: when you say there would be flag marshalls on the track it means the dudes in white suits and earmuffs waiving different color flags? Hopefully we get a crash course on those in the beginning because i can see myself getting beaten up by 5 blokes who were tailgating me while i was waived to pull over and let pass.

yeah some spanners have been abused in the building of that engine :cheers: The rules are pretty tight, only things we can change are ECU, coilovers, diff centres, and add safety stuff like cage, seat, harness, kill switch. Luckily we can run N1 spec which includes larger wheels and tyres and the brembo brakes.

Yeah there will be a couple of guys manning the flag points, 3 last time I think. Basically they will show yellow flag if there is an incident and red if the session is over (back to the pits).

Fatz,,,Is it okay to pay you on the day?. I've got a problem with one of the rear calipers and Race Brakes www.racebrakes.com.au are trying to fix it.

Neil.

    • 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
