this link has all the other links and brakepad info (it's a bit old now but most of the info is useful)

Endless RF650 brakefluid is used by Brawn F1 GP (and previously by BAR Honda in their F1 cars). if it works in F1 then it will be more than enough for us mere mortals.

Endless ftw >> Motul :laugh:

How much for that Endless RF650 fluid Kim?

Also whats the heat rating on those???

http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/english/e-p...brake_fluid.htm

wet/dry = 218'C/328'C

comes in 500mL cans so depending on what car you may need 2 to 2.5 cans. i need to check pricing again with the distributor given the poor Yen exchange in recent months.

You may remember Dean mentioning Nolan helmets sold through John Bowe Driving for $300 including delivery and hopefully received an email about the Nolan X-Lite X-Pilot helmets.

I have found this website in the UK which sells them for GBP270 about AUD525 (scroll down to the very last helmet). http://www.helmets4u.co.uk/index.php?manuf...i260iete8d799c5

Remember that we will need helmets for the 23 Nov course and the private trackday that Adrian (rad32) is organising for the 26 Oct.

some advice re helmets - you really need to try a few of them on to get the right size before buying. this applies to bike and motorsport helmets.

one manufacturer's design will probably fit your head better than another - as i already have a Shoei motorcycle helmet i was keen on getting an Arai, but found that the Bell ones fit me better. and within the Bell range they have S M L but also 58/60/62 sizing which are half sizes and therefore allow better fit for those who fall between medium and large.

as Luke mentioned earlier, Chris is the manager at Revolution Racegear Blair Athol but i have also dealt a lot with Nathan there. they both know me quite well from my enquiries last year.

Is there any details on the course that is after the one we did, the track one? or is it still being organized

the High Performance trackday with the same John Bowe Driving team has indeed been booked for Monday November 23 - i just haven't had a chance to post the thread yet! this will be launched soon enough

as you did the course on August 25 you should already have the enrolment form for Nov 23 - Dean gave them out at the end of that day. this means that you have the best chance of securing your spot for the HP course by sending the form in now with your full payment (same cost of $385). i will not be asking for deposits this time as it's first in or miss out - i have over 40 people on the mailing list who are eligible for the 28 places offered, so please get in early! if you (or anyone else) has already sent in their form, please let me know via PM so that i can put you on the list.

cheers - Kim

should be between $60-80 each.

actually, i checked today and the retail price for the Endless brake fluid is $60rrp. i can do it for $55 per 500mL can or $50/500mL if part of a brake service (labour additional) .

Hello everyone,

Sorry to bump an old thread but I am just chasing some information on when and if there will be another event like this in 2010 or anything similar?

I had a look on the 'lala website but couldn't find anything about this?

Cheers :D

Wayne, these aren't available on the Mallala website... visit the John Bowe site for public days. I know for a fact that Kim is in the middle or organising another of these days in the coming months. Stay tuned, I'll get him to post it up here :D

If interest is there I'll launch another High Performance day with Kim also

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
