Hi All,

I got a really good job offer in Newcastle yesterday and am seriously considering it, although i have a couple of questions that i would like to ask before I say yes.

1. I have been looking at properties at Raymond Terrace, is there any particular areas that i should stay away from?

2. I will be managing 2 locations at the airport and in central area, what is the commute like between these areas?

3. Is there any reputable workshops in the area?

4. What kind of Motorsport events are on in the local area, if any??

Thanks for replies in advance,

Ben

Hey Ben,

Theres a "newcastle thread" up in the stickied section - could try posting in there?

Events wise - there are quite a few show and shines around, nearest tracks would be sydney, although not too sure if they still have the 18th mile there.

RT? umm....I'll let the locals answer that, I've heard a mixed bag!

The commuting between the two - say 30mins not even on a good run?

Have to drive though, or bus it.

workshops, I think RX Enginerring is up that way, Iveheard good stuff bout them.

Anyhoo, Im sure some of the newie locals will reply with more detail :)

Newcastle is the goods. :kiss:

If you will be working out near teh airport then the Raymond Terrace house should be good, that being said I enjoy living in Newcastle city.

Few good tuning shops around so there is no problems there!

We have cruises every now and then when we can be bothered to organise one :)

Hey mate

Raymond terrace can have some bad area's.. if you move around the lakeside area (near the dam) that area is good. also on the other side of the dam (riverview ridge / roslyn estate area) is probly the best part of Raymond Terrace (i lived there for over 15 years)

Stay away from the housing commission area's.. you will know them when you look at the place..

PM me and i can give you my phone number if you want to ask any questions.

Turbotechnics in Cardiff is the go for tuning

We dont have any motorsport except for the MG car club which holds events every month and the hill climb at newcastle every year but its just a 1 hour and 20 minute drive from raymond terrace to the end of the freeway taking it easy.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
