Yeah ill be heading down, not Skyline affiliated though!

My brother has a Blue HQ with a big F**K off engine in it... She doesnt look real pretty at the moment (body wise) but she should run a mid 11 tonight and he can pull a mean skid aswell - he has won the burnout comp quite a few times.

Soon the engine will be coming out in favour of a forced induction Chev with a big HP nitros setup. And we are also painting the car VB can green with an ice pearl over the top.... should look the goods.

I will be cruising around wearing a HSV jacket so if you see me aswell please say'hello.

Good luck Nick. Hope all goes well for you mate... See you tonight

ha ha its real hard lining up against some of those old school V8's and rotors that run 11's... can't even hear my car! a couple of times I have reached for the ignition only to discover its already on! staging and then waiting for those big loud bastards to take off so I can concentrate on my launch!

... hey is there a better way to block off the coolant overflow bottle without just tying a knot in the rubber piping?... I lost a lot of coolant last time...

when i went to the drags (heathcote with a ford club) they had to put a coke bottle in there for the overflow, so that the coolant didnt drip on the track....if thats what ur talking about

Well thanks for the "early" notice :P

Here i am, at home, waiting for my mate to finish working at Calder, when i could have been there, having a few runs with you guys :) .

Lately i have been considering taking it down, to see how much of an improvemnt the car has made since last time. Now i will have to wait another month b4 i can test it, as it is getting a few more performance tweaks.

ohh well, have a great night and post up your results.

Al

its ok Al... i think its about time another SAU drag day was held... hasnt been one for like...

FOREVER!!

man i still had my 32 back then and it was stock!

maybe wait til my new skyrines here so i can feel like one of the family again :P

just got back... and my ears are still ringing from all those big cube engines with no exhaust!

best was:

13.75 @ 103mph with a 60 foot of 2.2sec

getting some axle tramp, found it hooked up best with gradually feeding the throttle in after launching at 3000rpm... would have like to get a better 60ft time but oh well its still a pretty good time for stock turbo and ecu

time for beer

    • 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).
