Well its that time of year again for the SAU-NSW Putty Road cruise.

Every year a few ACT people head up, and it is one of the best weekends I think you could have with your Skyline.

What is it? Putty Road is a nice long windy road that runs from Windsor (very outer Sydney) up to Singleton. The cruise usually takes about 2 hours, with a stop over in the middle (the best sausage rolls in existance!!). There is plenty of BP Ultimate and Shell Optimax availible near Windsor and there is Shell Optimax availible in Singleton.

The usual plan? We head up on Friday afternoon, stay at the Windsor terrace motel (www.windsorterracemotel.com) which is about 2 minutes away from the meeting point for the cruise. Friday night involves going to the local pizza place and relaxing with good food and drink. Saturday is the cruise which finishes just after lunch (we all have lunch at the pub in Singleton) and then you can either head back to Canberra or stay in Sydney Saturday night.

So, when is it? Saturday the 15th July.

The price? SAU-NSW club members free, non members are $5. This is an official CAMS sanctioned event and as such the charge for non members is to cover the public liability insurance.

This is usually one of SAU's biggest events of the year, and once you have been you will keep going back every year. It will also be a chance for you all to meet the mysterious Shell as she usually goes :P

Hopefully some of you can make it up, you wont regret it. The only extra thing I will add is no dickheads. If youre going to bring a dickhead attitude, a tendancy to do burnouts or skids or drive like a wanker, stay at home because we dont want you there.

I believe that should be fine, you will have to pay the $5 though unless you are a SAU-NSW member.

race_snooze, the windsor motel is $99 for the night on Friday, then you can stay in Sydney saturday night if you want or go back to Canberra (it finishes around 1:30PM and its a 5ish hour drive back to Canberra from Singleton).

Dont know if I can get the Friday off work, if I cant ill be leaving straight after work at 4:30PM.

Well there you go. If that's not a good enough reason to come i don't know what is :)

Just need to add something here.... this is an official SAU-NSW club event, and it looks like we're going to make it SAU-NSW club members and invited guests only this year.

It's still being discussed in the members area on the forum.. but looks like that's the way it's gonna be.

that said, there is NO problem with any of you coming who are not members, as i'm happy to make you my invited guests if I'm the only member going from here (or you might know a member in sydney yourself), but i just wanted to make you aware of this fact.

we just need to cover our arses with our CAMS insurance and not have randoms turning up ruining for everyone..

Anyway, hope some of you can make it, it's a great road - until you get stuck behind a sunday grandpa but they usually get intimidated with 30 or so lines up their arse that they pull over and let us through lol... last year there was me, my friend Bridget, Nik, Mark, Ewen and Cassie, but hope to see a few more of you this year!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
