They have shown in the past to be VERY unreliable and poorly behaved no matter what the situation/occasion is.

Anyways, time to think-up a route... and i think i have just the thing ;)

BATHURST CRUISE

;)

bathurst cruise sounds the best idea, would be an awesome way to pay tribute to the king of the mountain. and yes i will be there and in respect ill have 05 stickers on the window

id say around 20 per person. Thats the least us car entusiasts could do

actually reason i said 5 or 50 - is because his number was 05...i know..its lame...and when i said it, it was late...i think....

BATHURST CRUISE

;)

I'm going to bathurst and this year will be very different. There is sure to be tiributes for him.

I'm in for any cruise. Will I drive the 32 or the VH Commodore???

I think ford/holden/nissan fans will all unite for this. I sure hope so. Just because you're a ford fan doesn't mean you hate holden drivers. Like Mark skaife. I don't like him but I respect him and he really is a great driver.

There was a Brock Falcon, he also raced Ford Sierra's.

Exactly, so as a Ford fan and motoring enthusiast, it is a huge loss. He was a very talented driver and showed that in the different cars he drove.

    • 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).
