Great going Sam.

Any 60' sub 2.0 secs on true street tyres is something to be proud of.

Mid 13s on your first ever trip to the track is no mean feat either.

MPH says there's a little more in her yet too!

After Danh's issues earlier in the day, we lost interest in running last night, so poker it was.

Thanks guys :D

too bad you couldnt make it down, i was looking forward to seeing the Calais & GT-R run down the strip.

heres my best timeslip, lol @ my R/T on this one! i did my burnout dropped it out of gear & forgot to put it back into gear afterwards :P thankfully the R/T doesn't affect the ET :D

btw - im #647, left lane.

You launched well with that power, street tyres and weight Sam :thumbup:

Try some semislick next time and you could be in the 12.

Sorry for the absence. Hopefully I will get my track toilet to the drag strip soon :D

nice 60" sam..... My car is having boost problems.... (only operating at factory levels and some huge knock --> ive seen 130 a couple of times)... Hoping to get it sorted b4 friday..... hope to see you guys at the next lot of drags...

cheers guys! SAU drag day sounds like a good idea to me. I was one of only 3 skylines there. the other was a stock looking R31 silo that did 11s and the other was an R32 GT-R running huge slicks and in the 10s!!! i lined up against them both and got totally blitzed :P

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Would have been nice to watch.

BTW is anyone coming out to spectate this Saturday at AIR?

Keir is coming out. Hopefully he will complete the R&D with the first few runs. He's expecting to dial in the max amount of nos with treaded radial ( if everything go well). It will be fun to watch.

hey theres two r31's the one that has the twin turbo v8 was at "prostock" and ran into 10's from what i hear. the other is a mate and ran a 11.6 (guy works for madaz) or so its na with a gt turbo and aftermarket tunning. both are gts1's !!!

we should organise a SAU drag day at the beginning of next year.  Book a fully prep track and have as many runs as possible.

imo that would cost a bit

i was looking into booking out malla for a drive day and for 30 ppls it was gunna cost us all 400bux as u can imagine i didnt get alot of interest ...this was when i had my R31

remeber i was checking out a drive day @ mallala with the guys from that racing mob where u drive there race prep'd commo's cept i said we didnt want those we drive our 'lines we were gunna get instructors tuition if u wanted it i think lunch it was a full day with 2 instructors also :(

Danh, how did Keir go on the weekend?

track was poorly prepared

we got there early and keir did not run until 2ish

keir had only one run and could not get the power to the ground anywhere

we packed up and left after that :(

a few beers and late lunch with the boys was the only good part of the day :)

oh I forgot,

apparently after we left the track was shut down for 2 hours by Andra due to the sun. Timing gears broke after that and everyone race with out timing gear :(

Can't wait to see better management at AIR and the timing board back on the stands :) Lets not organise anything at AIR until we see some improvement. The place is quite embarassing for south australian compare to avenues in other states.

    • 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).
