Bit harsh Andrew :D, i ran a 13.4 with my car and i am absolutely shit at drag racing. (Std turbo and engine, on my 19's)

I'm beting a 13.01, just to piss off Troy :), and to back up the initial bet we had btw us. I will try and be there and will probably help Shivam trailor his car there, if he still wants to.

:D heh i'll come down and show ya's all up with my 10 second car...getting the underbody neons installed this week, and i bolted the NOS in over easter :)

but in all seriousness i might come down and have a look/drive.

*cough* Drag is for commonwh0res *cough* :)

Is that all? lol

hehe no offense to you or you car at all... went to the drags with my mate in his GTST which runs 250rwkw, std injectors but has a power FC and a good tune... he ran around a 13.4@110mph i think... but had a lot of trouble with traction

i'm guessing if you have a good launch in you may be able to break into the 12s... but since its going to be your first time there and all, i'm guessing for a mid 13 :cheers:

Good luck!

Big thanks to Al, he carried my tools with him, bought me food, and put up with my dribble and excitement... RB20 POWAH!!!!!

I thought i would have been stoked to brake into the 12s, and a 12.9 just counts so im stoked. Best run ET wise a 12.9 @ 112mph with a 2.2 60ft time. My best mph was 114mph but i farked it up with a 2.4 60ft.

I had a ball...and once again big thanks to Al, it was goot to be able to share my excitement with someone:thumbsup:

lol..yeh, its a shamble at the moment...had a BBQ at a Winton track day, then kissed a tyre at a drift day...It was down hill from here:(

But things are looking on the up and up:) When my new carbon bonnet arrives its all going into the panel shop so should once again look pretty neat:)

As for the exhaust note...thanks, I love the sound of my thing, its the cars redeaming feature.:)

Should have come up and said hello, maybe next time:thumbsup:

LOL...2.2 60 ft with 234/40/17s semi slicks:( I aint the man. I need muffin man or you to get the car off the line for me:)

I fear im becoming a drag queen....i really enjoyed last night, more then i ever though ti would...it was way better then that grifting caper i did 2 weeks ago:thumbsup:

Will be back in 2 weeks with boost wound up to 18psi, I'll try building i bit of boost with the handbrake and see if i can get a 2.0sec 60ft time. I doubt ill be able to. But no im mega keen to try and get a 12.5 @115mph...just need way more practice off the line...:)

    • 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).
