I thought I would start a new thread as there is a lot of talk about a meet up point which is getting confused with general chat about the day.

Rather than go back and forward with suggestions please consider the following:

For those who want to cruise down to Wakefield together, I can meet at Casula Bunnings car park at the cross roads from 6:00am leaving at 6:15am SHARP.

This is located where the Hume Hwy splits into Camden Valley Way and Campbelltown Road. The big white building in the centre of this map: Map

I think this is a good spot as it is near the M7 and M5 so is convenient for those coming from most parts of Sydney. It is also easy to get on the Freeway and head to Goulburn from this point.

Post or PM if you want to meet up from here.

615 not too late to leave? Thought the track opened at 8am :)

I does but you will have rego, drivers meeting, etc. My guess is you won't be on the track before 8:30 at best. Getting there earlier just get you a better garage.

For the Circuit Club day at Wakefield we met at 6:30 am and left at 6:45 stopped for fuel at Marulen and arrived right on time for their 8:30am registration.

If we leave at 6:15am we should be there by 8:00am driving the speed limit.

I don't think that track time starts until 9:00am anyway.

I would have thought the servo would be a better option to meet at, as i usually fill the car and jerry can before the track day.

I usually fill up the day before so I don’t have to worry about chasing fuel so early in the morning.

We will stop at Marulen BP which is about 20 to 30 minutes or so before the track. This will give everyone a chance to fill up with premium (BP Ultimate 98 ron) and get snacks and drinks if necessary. There is even a Hungry Jacks and a Diner if you want breakfast.

This way everyone gets to the track with a full tank of premium.

cant wait to pop my track cherry and meet you guys again. Have only met handful of you once at the SAU dinner at the mean fiddler but was too pissed to remember any of you. Do remember only adam, nick and jess from that dinner though am not sure if it would be vice versa :thumbsup:

    • 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).
