Kel & I are in.

We did a cruise over wisemans ferry a while back (mysfit charity cruise I think). Everyone was OK if they went s...l....o.....w...l...y enough.

Count me in just hope i got my car back

getting a service, injector clean, throttle body clean, dual stage boost contoller, and a bleed valve and tuned on the dino all done in the next 2 days just hope its ready for sunday.

So at this point i will be there

wooooooooo

Stickers have been ordered but not sure if they'll be ready on the day.:D

I'm cooking up a revised route through the North-West that will get us to Bobbin Head around 1 pm. :)

Just to throw a (late) alternative, I just heard from the Honda club that the Catalina circuit at Katoomba is having an open day on Sunday. This tracks been closed for about 30 years, but still exists and will be open (not for driving :D ).

So, should be consider this instead? We could head up there for the morning and then move on to a BBQ somewhere in the area.

if i remember correctly there is a coval about 30m diameter at the end of bobin heads with a tap in the middle.

if someone brought a hosse we could have some real fun round that circle..... bugger it we can do it in the dry.

wait a second ive just checked the rule books apparently it very illegal to do this, and the head people of SAU dont encorage this

shit

im there but ill bring some rods and catch me a tuna

pete

ps and watch out for bike rides on the way in ive almost hit 40000 of them

Bobbin head's a nice place for a get together, just watch the 101 speed humps! I snapped my sauce pipe last time I was there (not literally). I can't make this one but have fun anyhow :P

Finalised Route:

Homebush Carpark 6C 9-9.30 for 10 am departure -> Silverwater Road -> Victoria Road -> James Ruse Drive -> Old Windsor Road -> Maccas, Windsor Rd Kellyville at 10.45 for 11 am departure -> then cross country to Galston Gorge -> KU Ring Gai Chase Road -> Bobbin Head

We will have a meeting point along the route at Maccas, Windsor Road Kellyville.

This should put us at Bobbin Head around 11.45. If anyone wants to go straight there please do by all means (and reserve some spots :)).

I hope to make this BBQ, but I've got plans the night before and I'll be crashing at someone's house down south, so I'm not sure I'll get to Homebush by 10am...

If I don't wake up too late, I'll meet you guys at the BBQ spot :P

    • 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).
