Ah... yeah, the planet's fine. Weather patterns all normal... sure.

It hailed/snowed pretty decently here this morning. At least I know what ACD setting to use...

Anywhere else have the skies go a bit crazy?

nice house.....whats the evo doing outside man? tsk tsk!

yeah, we got heavy hail here in mt waverley too - but probably not as bad as what your experiencing.....

man, i sat up waiting for santa, so I can catch the dude that ate all my oreo cookies - but he didnt show up..... :santa:

Geezus this place sh*ts me........

Spence called from the Sunshine Coast to say he was sipping a coldie with just a light beading of sweat on his brow. Just warm enough to make the beer even more enjoyable.

as far as i'm concerned, it can rain and snow for the rest of 06/07 :)

get the dams back up and also give us some snow to ski on this coming season! didn't go up one day last year, wasn't worth it :)

i spent 7 days in november this year in gold coast, it was the most miserable week i had in ages...

the so called sunshine state did not produce anything but thunderous storms pissing hail on our rental car, relentless grey skies with rain and all the while a yucky humidity that sweats the most cold blooded...

i will take the unpredictable melb weather anytime...

Exactly the same as 5 of the 7 days I spent there in Feb of this year. 2 days of glorious sun and sat at the pool then a low pressure system sat off the coast of Fraser Island for over a week, with the first 5 days of that being my holiday! Happily take Melbourne anyday. :)

When we got to QLD in march (the day after the SAU GOR cruise which took place in some amazing weather) there was nothing but storms for the first 5 or so days of my trip. All the beaches etc were closed...was awesome stuff :)

It was all you pathetic *Ricks deserved. 'Sif we'd want to waste good Queensland weather on mexicans. That's the time for rain to convince you all to stay here. Qld Premier is going to slap a tax on the old folks coming up from down south to pay for their amenities.

I'll happily think of you all as I'm getting my blood temps back above that of a stone in the high alps in winter.

Remember I've had 6-1/2 years to utterly despise the weather down here. Not some hopeless week away.

I do remember my final winter in ACT. Beautiful snow drifting down......enough to pull out the board and slip in a couple of runs down the back yard.

Enjoy....losers!! Deep in your hearts you all know how crap it is here. No-one with a clue comes to Melbourne for a fantastic beach holiday.

:laugh:

    • 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).
