Greetings from the VERY rainy Gold Coast! We have 2 cyclones near here to contend with atm .... not happy Jan! Went to Sea World today and got rained on all bloody day ..... oh well was fun anyhow. Had a blast and absolutely beautiful weather Sunday for O'Reilly's Plateau tour (boardwalk in the top of rainforest trees), also for Monday at Dreamworld and Tues at Movieworld ..... so I can't really complain!

Back to the topic .... me the leader? .... bwahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha .... sorry just picking myself up off the floor :P ... anyways .... Brad - you know you can always have a passenger seat with me :(

So the ideas ..... yeah I'm up for any of the above suggestions. I especially agrre with John that if we're gonna go skiing we better go soon before the weather turns nasty!

But I'm up for anything! Catch you all and will elaborate when we get back Sunday!!! Gotta go for a surf now :P

Nothing like spending 10yrs as a bodyboarder on Sydneys inner city breaks to learn how to cope with aggro in the water :( And then for the total opposite, actually finding anyone 'keen' to go for a session @ Eagle Hawk Neck Reef (Tassie - my old local break) on a gloomy 8'-10'+ storm swell (300 yard paddle over known pointer territory!) But the big pits & end bowl is WORTH IT :)

k we should get something planned - but next weekend is a bad option since we are having Drifty's cruise Friday night (I'm looking forward to that one!). Two SAU related events in one weekend is a bit much (for the missus to bear :D )

Then the drags are on the weekend after (5th)

Then it is my 1 year wedding anniversary the weekend after (don't even try to get me to go out that weekend - I value my life)

.... so unfortunately it looks like I am out till the weekend 19/20th April.

Hmmmmm

If u all wanna do something sooner then organise away - but my hands are tied till then :D

It will be a reasonable SAU gathering at the drags on the 5th so why don't we organise some name tags etc and have a bit of a proper social gathering there? Someone could bring a barbie and esky and we could do it in the dirt :(

What are you saying Pawley only women should cook. Im half offended, When you do it for a living atleast 10 hours per day there is only so much I can handle. Was your car up at the Shops near the Bremen pub the other day. Id take up two parks too with your car.

    • 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).
