Hey hey!

Well since the Sydney crew are coming up on the 23rd of April i thought we should at least give them a warm reception! So i've planned to arrive down at the foreshore around midday to grab some carpark spaces and so we can chat, bbq, etc untill they arrive.

Date: 23rd April 2006.

Time: 11:45am - Midday.

Where: Newcastle foreshore (try to get around the middle area next to one of those big car parking areas).

Who: The loyal newcastle skyline crew!

So make sure you bring a comfy chair, sky of food and drink and lots of sunblock (or even better.... a big beach type umbrella). Hopefully we can get a few of use together so we can catchup before the sydney cars arrive, because we will be too busy introducing ourselves to them when they arrive later on!!

List of cars so far: (10)

d-d (Dave)

Ezz35 (Matt)

Mum's Taxi

OPASEN (Matt)

Monkeykplunk (Ian)

Donnie (1)

Donnie (2)

Donnie (3)

weapn (Dave) (Arriving later)

ULOOOK (Josh+Krystle) (Arriving later)

----------------------------

Hope you all can make it for a fun, relaxing day :P

Dave.

You f**kin better be you bastard!

I'll be there.

I'm off to supercheap now to pick up some power steering fluid, cause its startin to squeel like a pig when I turn the wheel :D

That, and you'll all have to forgive me for the incredibly annoying fan belt noise when I start the car, as it's also decided to start doing that and I have no idea how to change or tighten a fan belt....lol

See yas there!

ok well who out of us newy crew were a little dissapointed with the sydeny to newy cruise that was on this sunday just passed?? i was a little cause we went down with a few of us to meet these guys at the twin servos and they just drove past... also by the time most of us finally made it into town they had gone home already.... can come one tell me just how much time they spent in out fine city??? casue it seemed like only half an hour?? how come they didnt stay for longer?? i duno if im just being a sook but i would have stayed for longer if i had driven that far.....

im not havin a stir im just sayin it seemd a bit pointless thats all...... no harm intended.....

Yeah i gotta agree, it suked ass, by the time we finally fouund you guys, you were all leaving.

    • 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).
