Having the start location in town or near enough is a nice compromise for those who live out North and those in the South and everywhere in between.

Up the freeway is a good start to get into the back of the Hills. I was thinking that we could maybe follow some of the courses that were covered in the Classic Adelaide. For each cruise we could cover a few of the stages. I know the maps of the courses are available cause I used them to follow the rally and find good spectator points.

What do you guys think?

Time: 1pm Sunday 14th May

Start Location: TOWN?

Description of route: HEAD EAST TO FREEWAY THEN SOMWHERE

End Location: MURRY BRIDGE THEN HEAD BK TO TOWN?

help me ppl

Head towards M/Bridge on Freeeeeeway and take the turn off on the left to Strathalybyn. Man that is an awesome road, windy, open and fast. No trouble out that way, generally speaking if you get what I mean, as well.

Stop in Strath by the lake, chat, coffee shops or pub there, and mosey on back to Adelaide via meadows & clarendon.

Adelaide City up freeway to lefthand exit called Sthrathalbyn, overpass over the freeway, heads towards Callington / Strathalbyn. This road is good condition, open, windy, fast etc. I open my bike up out there *often*. :P

There is a Mobil with 98ron in Strath if your car needs fuel...... and a few pubs if you need fuel, but not a big distance really. Real nice scenery in front of the pub nearby to the swimming pool, overlooking the lake. Nice indeed.

From Strath either head up the hill thru Ashbourne and back to Adelaide via Meadows/Clarendon or Meadows/Echunga, or in lieu of Ashbourne head into Macclesfield then Echunga onto Mylor and back to the freeway as such. Or I could show you a nice route down to Myponga!

I'm up for it guys, getting my exhaust fitted next Friday so it'll be a good opportunity to test it out :P.

Mother's day's no problem, all happens at breakfast & maybe dinner at my place :D.

Been on that road to Strathalbyn once at night & I have to say it's one of the best country roads we have around Adelaide so I'd be more than happy to go there again.

Look forward to meeting a few of you guys.

    • 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).
