As the topic states, Auto Salon is back in Adelaide on the 12-13th August.

There are several cars in the group that are worthy of entering (not that I expect we will win King of Autosallon) and I wanted to know if its worth setting up an SAU site. Entry is $100, (less than a tank of petrol), and we need a minimum of 6 cars for a club display.

If your car is up to the job and you can spare the time to clean and polish then set up on Friday afternoon (3pm -10pm), add your name and details here. We tried this once before with mixed results, so this time I am suggesting people will nedd to be sure by the end of June and cars will be entered on the 1st of July (payment required)

Might be worth pitching in for a banner too.

And guess what? Darren works in Printing: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120286 :mellow:

Oh and i think I'll keep my dunga OUT of this. Might be able to come by and help setup though.

i'm keen, do you know the cost of entering plus dyno runs?

The only problem i can forsee for myself is that i work arvo's so setting up on friday could be difficult for me but i'll try and work something out!

If the car is ready in time then I am in - put me down as a 'yes' and I'll update prior to July 1st

My plan is to take the Friday off to prepare and set-up my car and then I'll help others as required.

No offence intended Mr. iNFMS, but it's SAU or nothing for me.

the r31 club had a smallish display last year

banner - best bet is to speak to Ted Turner Signs at Edwardstown as they did ours for around the $160 mark i reckon - and thats a 2000x1000 vinyl banner

dyno run is included in teh entry cost, dB drag racing is extra and ya gotta enter somewhere else

Well a few Skylines from my mechanic's w/shop are comming up to enter this year, as they just missed the Melbourne A.S. Would you allow us to join your stand? If i come i think there will be at least 4 Skylines.

Not sure if they want to enter on their own though, so i will keep you posted : .

i could b up 4 it, but ill know closer to the date cos might have somthing on....my car would need a bit of work done 2 it, the front kit is all hacked up at the bottom and i gota fix my lights cos they moved and clean my engine bay....actually clean the whole car...haha

I should be able to put my new car in:) as for dyno comp yeah may put mine in.

did u bought the 32 GTR from Kasai??

the car in yr avatar looks like it

looks like we got the number

now Matt/guy can collect $100 from each of us to ensure the club display will FINALLY happen this year :PBJ:

This is looking good so far this year.

I dont have a problem with other skylines fron Melbourne joining with us and it may even help if the Vic chapter of SAU (are u guys a propper club?) have an SAU banner we could borrow for the weekend.

The other aspect of a display is what sort of display will we set up? The entry form says a minimum is some sort of ground cover.

Any Ideas for a theme?

SAU VIC is the biggest chapter of SAU :blush:

Just spoke to the guys and they are entering as their own club "DRAGON". Not sure if i am going yet, but if i do i will prefer to enter with SAU :), i will keep you posted..

Jameszilla (James) is the person to PM for the SAU VIC banner. We also have merchandise :), nothing better than representing your club by wearing club polos/t-shirts :).

    • 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).
