Hi gtr fan. SAU NSW membership is $35 per year, and a once off $25 joining fee (includes $10 worth of SAU sticker). It's well worth the money, and as we are a cams affiliated club you can use your SAU membership for your CAMS licence application. Plus there are many other benefits. More info in here:

Jordan, this is perfect for anyone with an interest in improving the handling of their car, and learning a bit about suspension. even with no prior knowledge of suspension systems you will get plenty out of this evening. BUT at this point it's open only to SAU NSW financial members (see above). If we do not get enough attendees we may allow any forum members to attend, but I would suggest joining the SAU NSW club anyway. There are lots of good reasons. :huh:

UPDATE:

The dates has been confirmed with Bilstein.

Tuesday 24th April starting at 7pm (arrive between 6:30 and 7:00pm if possible). It is expected to finish before 10pm

I can also confirm this will involve a tour of all their good gear including the shock dyno room and mobile shock centre (race truck). There will also be a special guest coming. He has lots of experience in race car preperation and set-up and is a fountain of information on suspension set-up, particularly with skylines. So I would say this is an even not to be missed!

good to see! Well we are at 19. My target for this is 20-30 SAU NSW members. Learning a bit about suspension from these guys should not be underated. and the "special guest" is worth coming to see too.

adam you big girl. man up and just get your crack wax another day. a week of stuble never killed anyone.

well, we now have 20 people on this so it's looking to be a good night. 10 more spots to fill. Don't be shy, get your name in here.

PLEASE RE-CHECK THE FIRST POST. DUE TO SCHEDULE PROBLEMS HEASMANS HAVE ADVISED ME WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE TO TUESDAY 24th.

sorry guys. nothing I could do about this change, but I hope it wont be a problem for most of you.

    • 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).
