I will be there if it kills me. I"ve bought another 32 gtr thats going into the panel beaters next week to have the firewall straightend out but apart from that there isn't any other damage so I'll take all the stuff out of the stacked car and put it into this one so hopefully i can have one good car. As a bonus this car already registered. All i'm in need of now are some semi comps in 255ish by 17, some whiteline swaybars and maybe a gearbox with good synchros to finish it off.

Who's up for helping with engine swap in a couple weeks? It'll be fun!

I just hope the walls don't get in the way of my over enthusiastic driving this time.

West could you pm me the link to the tyres if your not getting them providing they haven't gone off/hard. I had falken st115's on the front of my gtst and they seem to hold up fairly well to some abuse.The drift night killed them thou. But that was after a year and a half and three track days and two drift nights. About 30000k I got out of them and they still have tread there just really scrubbed.

I could lend a hand, let us know.

1.33 on semi comps with suspension. What's wrong, no ticker? I did very low 1.31 on standard rubber with crap stock lowered suspension. Woulda had a 1:30 if the idiot in the TVR had got his POS out of the way.

Gareth, I'll try to help as well but have to get the RB26 into the GTSt sometime soon.

Well if anyone needs 2 x 235/45/17 RE55s (12 laps old around Sandown) then i may be able to help out. They are the fronts off my car that rub due to the wrong size tyre being fitted. I have to see if firmer springs will fix it up, but if not then i will need to get rid of them.

Gareth, good to see your getting close...

No entry names usually don't go up for a week or so before the event.

Apparently so far only 10 people have entered or something - but there will be a rush in the last 2 weeks.

Whats you question on driver training??

My mate HLT4EVA is entering for driver training, i've just faxed his form away. We just wondering how many session with the driver training does he get? Will he get to run with us in the sprint or he's only allow to run when a designate trainer next to him?...ect..

Thanks

The driver trainers will not be timed either , however if the instructor believes he is capable by himself he can be slotted into a "timed" session if he wishes.

adam

    • 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).
