I have the week before off so Winton is an option. Would rather not drive down alone so assuming I can get at least a passenger I think I'd like to get down a day early and learn the track secrets of the Vic boys. If they get me running faster maybe I'll defect to Team Wang

I know this is still some time off but I vote for a very, very early morning start. If some of the guy/gals from north need a place to crash the night before, we have space.

i'm considering going down early aswell for the track day, have to confirm a couple fo things, but 75% sure atm, i'd be up for meeting up and going down.

LOL. I'm just hangin' around seeing what crap you fools are talking up. *Runs and hides before flaming starts.

Right you are getting two boxes of tissues :laughing-smiley-014: looking forward to going into battle

well I know I will lose but atleast ill have fun doing it.

This is a fantastic effort for NSW people and please tell people that we are more then happy to get spectators down too it is a fantast weekend

Where did you guys meet up at last time?

we met in a carpark 2mins from the intersection with king georges road (which you would come down to get there) and the M5 in beverly hills.

i assume its going to be the same place again??? will we fit there???

So it sounds like a few of us (Steveo/Sam/me) might make it down to Winton for a track day on Friday. I'm up for a very early departure (5AM?) to beat traffic. Like to get there and chill for a bit.

Scotsman - it there a place to crash near Winton on Thursday night or should we book into the cabins a night early?

For those of you who are new - this F'N rocks. It don't get much funner. Of course we will have to start dominating the Mexicans...

I'm interested in this morbit fascination you seem to have with tissues...

Tell you what! SAUVIC will organise a tour of the Kleenex factory in Shep for ya.

    • 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).
