Just to give everyone a bit of insight into the cruise and the cause...

The venue (which ended up being way to small), was the largest space the organiser could find that was a) Privately owned and b) willling to give access to hundreds of rev-heads.

The cruise, many years ago, used to converge on the lighthouse but outgrew the space - and the cops didnt help when they started closing off the parking lots every anzac day.

This year the police stopped the event from being held at the airport - or on any other public owned property - but conceded to it being held on private land - and its really only due to the charity that the police lay off (in general) on the people who cruised to Albion Park. Thats why there was defecting happening at the lighthouse but generally not on the route to Albion Park. I noticed the cop who was booking people parked on the nature strip - but i believe he was one of few police in Albion park who caused any issues.

The organisers sold 500 SuperCruise stickers (all that were printed), all the proceeds of which will be going to charity.

The cars filled the BP Servo, the backlot, the space around the truck repair and wash centre, and a newly constructed warehouse up the back. They calculated they could fit 500 cars and therefore printed 500 stickers.

Its estimated that over 2000 cars cruised into Wollongong - many going to the lighthouse area not knowing that the new location is Albion Park, and many being forced to park on the princes hwy.

Next year the event will probably be held in the same place, but more parking will be available in the field behind the new warehouse. There is also unconfirmed rumours that there will be some action in the form of dyno events and the like.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
