Hey guys, Im new to all this so ill see what happens I guess. I am interested mainly at the moment to get a good idea of what stageas there are in the area.. Would it be alright if I turned up at the meeting spot just to have a look, get some photos etc and to meet some of you in person? Dad wont have time on the Sunday to do the run which is fine(he doesnt drive a Stagea anyway) but I think its a great oppurtunity to see some of sydneys finest! :) Also looking for a School Formal ride for the 27th November Would love to go in a Stag so if your interested and have the Monday free(RDO maybe) Id appreciate it if you got back to me!

Thanks.

Brian :/

That would be awesome Mike, Just gotta check with dad to see if hes free on the 19th and 26th so it wont matter what day we end up going.

pretty sure he will be though.

and Ill have to check with the rents to see if they would be fine with me riding with a bunch of guys Ive never met before, should be able to persuade them.

and I just managed to score a job so yeh, make sure I wont be working either. Manager seems to be pretty nice so just see what happens.

Fingers crossed.

:yes:

hey guys please let me know who is on for the cruise and also if the majority want we can move to next weekend but i need to know by wed nite so we all know whats happening id like to get a few of us together for the pics etc

As far as I know, I'm good for either the 19th or the 26th...

Also, I've received word back from the photographer who shot pics for the article in the current High Performace Imports magazine. He said it shouldn't be an issue having us split the cost of the shoot between us, but needs confirmation before he will lock us in...

Here is a link to that shoot - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=142681

Yeh, I just got a job at the start of the week and he said he will most probably need me to work on the 19th so 26th would suit me better, but my Birthdays on the 27th and relatives will be coming around that weekend, Ill try to persuade my parents to make it the saturday so that I can come, but because I only just started the job and Im on a flexible casual basis, hours are still up in the air. Ill do waht I can and get back to you Mike, as soon as I can.

So is anyone interested in getting our SAU photographer to come along, or do we just take and share a whole lot of photos between ourselves?

*BTW, my digital camera broke down about 6 months ago, and I haven't had a chance or the money to replace it yet...

i dont really wanna pay for a photographer as my car looks like crap atm, when the sideskirts go on and it gets sprayed i may, but for now i'll just take some photos..

btw i cant get the sliding performance link in your sig to work, can i not access it cos im not a sau-nsw member?

Fair enough. I will let him know. Regardless, if we did get him he would spruce up the photos to make our cars look a lot better (like they really need to, sheesh :P). In the shot he did of my car it looks heaps cleaner, and he digitally lowered it too.

Oh, for that link, yes you need to be a member, but there's a link for that in my sig as well (hint hint!). Otherwise, it's www.slidingperformance.com.

here is the zig zag railway site all set now for the 26th same time leaving richmond...........http://www.zigzagrailway.com.au/

ZigZag is a stones throw from my home town (bathurst) so i'll be there with bells on. probably have to stop by the parents on the way home, get a free dinner :wave:

    • 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).
