See Jimbo. We would have been screwed either way.

I saw another accident closer to home. Only one car, spun out and hit the wall on General Home Drive, ended up facing the opposite way. He was ok.

I got home at 4. Car seems to be ok. All the water came out of the air vents and the paper towels did the trick on the passenger side carpet. Found water in the boot too from a small leak somewhere. Nothing to worry about.

Yeah that accident looked really bad. Hope no one was killed.  

I was going like 40kmh in some sections of the Parkway. Geez it pissed down.

you went up the wakehurst? i thought you went the same way as me - up powderworks and back onto mona vale rd.

Whats the dudes name in the red series 2 that left early? hope he wasn't the one that crashed...

I saw you coming back down Mona Vale Rd Christian, you flashed several times but I only saw ur plates @ the last minute and didnt get a chance to flash back......

I agree with Ben, the parkway was atrocious........ I need to put my demisters on steroids........

Is that where you went. There was some other bloke in a R32 that was fanging around too. Maybe thats who your saw when I was on the phone to you.

Isnt it great when its pissing down rain and your driving with 0 visability and some bloke drives towards you with his highbeams on (lights).

And then you have the light marks stuck in your eyes for the next 5 minutes.

um... no.

yeh christian :) was good to finally meet you too :)

I think more late night beaches cruises are in order :)

George, I have demisters that hardly work.... ahh well I'll just add it to the list of stuff for Toyota to fix :)

two40:

Nah, christian and nick took a look at my lights but from what nick remembers of his s2, there is only one plug and it can only go in one way. sometime next week i'll take it to Envy during my lunch time to get it fixed.

I left early friday night (you probably saw me turn around two40 (since i was next to you)). I had to get up in 3 hours for work.

I also saw ronin, another skyline - maybe it was jimbo?, and nick (who was looking directly at my car trying to figure out if he knew me). They were all stop at the lights close to the start of mona vale road.

Just wondering, when did Jimbo turn up and what was his excuse for being late?

Christian: I quite like your rear bar... after following you along monavale rd It grew on my quite quickly.

Bwahaha, I turned up right when everyone was leaving the carpark, Moanie was going the wrong way, but I saw Tosh infront pulled over so I assumed everyone was pulling out ready to go so I zoomed infront of him and then when Nick flew past I thought we must be going ...

Little did I know wthat Nick and Tosh were heading elsewhere. Decided to turn on the CB to see if we were still using chan 25 due to 33 being a repeater and I heard Nick and Tosh talking about me following them so decided to butt in and thankfully Tosh decided he'd come out to show us the way :D

As for excuse, ummmmm, blame it on the rain ? :)

    • 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).
