--OBSERVATION CRUISE, Victoria -- 15th June '03

Just reminding everyone to keep this day open as it is only 2 weeks away!

Northern Street Cruizers (my car club) are having a HUGE observation cruise.

This cruise is different to most as, after registering you are given a MAP/route and also a questionair. The idea is to follow the detailed route/instructions and as you are cruising answer the questions provided. Most questions relate to landmarks/objects that are seen at various points. A generous time frame is given to complete the cruise, as to have everyone meet up at the final point for a supplied BBQ. At this stage NOVA are coming along to join in and report/promote the cruise.

DETAILS:

DATE: Sunday, 15th June, 2003

START/REGISTER: Skyways car park, Westfeild S/C., Airport West. MEL Ref: pg:16 A4

TIME: 9:30am - 10:30am (register closes at 10:30am)

FINISH/BBQ: A park on Wellington Rd., S.E. Suburbs. (This is all i know as only the committy members know which park) Detailed (read: fool proof) instructions/map will be given upon registering.

Note: Total distance from STRART to FINISH is approx 71km.

Note 2: No e-tag required!

COST: $10 per car. (this includes BBQ at the Park)

PRIZES: For 1st, 2nd and 3rd most correctly answered questions.

seperate prize for car club members that will be entering, not to make it look doge if a member wins.:uh-huh:

CONTACT: Corey-0418103392 or Paul-0416277907

SO, bring your family, GF/BF, friends and have a great and entertaining afternoon. More people in your car will help you answer questions better.

PS: Most of the profit, if any, will go towards the funds required to run the DECA fun day, in Shepparton. Hmmmm legal drift, burnouts, short circuit time race, slalom, etc. :burnout:

PEOPLE THAT HAVE SHOWN INTEREST:

- Al -> R33

- NismoR34 -> UNKNOWN

- Predator666 -> R33

- DJ-L3THAL -> R33

- Lowlux -> R31

- Assassin -> R34

- Sniffy -> UNKNOWN

- ApacheX -> R33

- KDR33 -> R33

Congratulations lowlux, getting first prize, with the most correctly answered questioniar. Actually your g/f should probably get most the credit as you would have been too busy drivin :uh-huh: (sssshhhhh!, i wont tell anyone, haha too late!!)

It was a great event, and we still managed to get 28 cars. Unfortunately the wether and probably exams were the main contributing factors to a smallish turn out. The next one will be planned at a different time of the year.

As for you sleepy heads who had nooo really excuse to miss it, well your lose :D , just hope to see ya all at another cruise. :uh-huh:

Clarky was driving the white R33 GTR, the one parked next too my burgundy R33.

Well fun was had by all with a few tricky questions to seperate the feild, even thou it was a cold, wet misserable day. The feed at the end partly made up for it.

C Ya

Alan

PS: Sorry lowlux, i am bad with names. Can you please remind me? :D

    • 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).
