The quality of the cars at last years extreme HP show was a lot higher than this years Autosallon.

There is a good mix of imports, US and Aust muscle cars and hot rods. There are a lot of dedicated show cars there (with painted chromed undercarages etc) as well as a lot of high quality daily drivers. I entered my car last year and had good weekend, but I was never in the running for a trophy (if thats what you are after)

I'm entering the show for the Dyno comp as I've always wanted to have a go in one.

There was a pretty good mix of cars in the show last year too.

Keep an eye out for my big, ugly blue Toyota Crown. With 2 screamer pipes and an open 4 inch exhaust it should make a fair bit of noise inside the pavillion. :P

My car will be fresh out of M&C Doyle with a tits bodykit. The only problem is that now my 18s look small. I will need to buy a set of spacers or borrow a larger set of rims for the show.

I took out my boost controller though and have not yet bought another one, so there's not much point putting my car on the dyno. It's making about 170 RWKW on stock boost at the moment.

I'd be keen to join the club display though. Send more information.

9krpm - im fairly sure that your car would have to be apart of the show to enter the dyno run.

wwwdot - do you have any other cars besides yours which is a definate to be in the show. how many are you actually after?

Do you have to put the car in the show if you want to just enter the dyno comp?

Hi mate, I asked the same question when I called the organisers, and yes, you have to enter the show. However, you don't have to be judged ("Display Only").

It's costing me $45 to enter and $20 for the dyno comp. You also get 2 passes to the show and a couple of T-shirts, so it's not too bad really. My car is FAR from a show vehicle-it's built for a prupose-but they had no problem with that.

Cheers

MS-75 I love your car.

Got to be one of the best surprise packages out there.

I remember seeing the reaction to it at the Jazmac dyno day.

It's pure gold.

Thanks for the compliment chops. One of the things I enjoy most about the car is the source of amusement it is for others. I myself love seeing stuff that's unique/bizarre.

Since you saw it at Jazmac it's changed a fair but. It's now got 12 injectors (2 per cyl, 440+550cc), 2 new wastegates, new boost control, custom plenum on a 100 Series Landcruiser stub manifold with 2 separate fuel rails and an 1100hp GT42. It's now making a LOT more HP than before. The engine is still inernally stock, but I'll get to that sometime.

Feel fee to come and have a good look at the show. I'll be in a back corner somewhere as I'm really only going for the Dyno comp.

See you there mate

    • 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
