im back...

I went for a drive to north pine dam...

I went the extra extra long way... Boy o boy that dam is so dry... I mean its got so little water in it... The water is like 30 metres from the tree line now.

god gaskets are bloody expensive. picked a whole heap off dan last nite that i got him to order for me, came to $360. that was all inlet gaskets (plenum, throttle boddy) exhaust manifold, turbo gaskets, dump gaskets, and new cam top and bottom cover bolts and washers, & rear main oil seal.

Dont ya just wish there werent soo many little things that added up to alot, itd make evreything alot cheaper *sigh*

what are the roads like col? newly surfaced? nice and twisty? nice country side? thinking bout that for the MSC :(

Don't talk about the stickers! They are being looked at!

Shall we do the Coro for lunch this week? They have the coolest toilets :blush:

u mean teh regatta?

what sau needs is a skyline cruise through murwillumbah, down into NSW, across to Byron, and back..

That would be a great run.

ohhhh son of rajab i thought the day would never come when someone put forward that idea!!! but i think that one may be a little bit risky, i mean if EVERYONE on the cruise was responsible it would be ok, but u do get the odd couple...

Maybe not for the MSC but for another separate cruise?

I drove this when i brought the gtr back from newcastle, no-one on the road at 1am, twas a lovely drive :blush:

Ummm roads were a bit so so...

I got some great photos from the top of clear mountain. I think that north pine dam is a great spot, however there are quite a number of families that like that dam on weekends also. There are heaps of BBQ's and loads of space for footy and cricket.

I will have a chat to Mud at the AGM (where ever the next general meeting is anyway) about the location and possibility of this location being used as its super close and great for bbq. Also we can go the long way like i did this morning which is a bit mountainous and fun to drive...

    • 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).
