Hi everyone I just thought I'd let you know that I made the trip down to Gladstone for the Motokhana but unfortunately it had been cancelled.:) Bugger, but anyway I thought I'd just tell you about an interesting thing I saw. On the way down we went past a group of imports that looked like they were on their way up to Rocky, maybe for the cruise or something else, this was about 12.30. Anyway the group consisted of a few 300's a S13, a few R32 and a few R33. So I was shocked when I was on my way back again at about 2.00 when we past the red 300 with a bick wing heading back again I was like What? Then we cam accross all of the cars pulled over and talking. It looked like they had been pulled over by a cop .:P

So I gotta wonder what they did to still be sitting there over an hour later. I don't know exactly what was happening, but I reckon it would be interesting to find out from anyone who knows.

Yeah the cruise was Awsome... I had a blast and I stuck to the speed limit... most of the time...

There was 3 Gtr's, 2 silvias, 1 33gts-t, 1 32 Gts-t, 1 MX-6, 1 Cordia and a Clubsport... 10 Cars... and it was a blast... there are heaps of photo's getting around and generally we just chatted and had fun... JR you could have added to our crew but I understand that SBS is good watching... speedweek is a top show for a bit of lower budget racing stuff...

And Garth that is too bad about the Motokhana being cancelled... oh well they will just have to have one up here... I am sure all the local imports will be there to have some legal fun... can we drift? or is there a few rules for safetys sake... just it would be awsome to have a few GTR's there, some sideways S13 action... maybe even jay could punt around in the fastest taxi in rocky...

tell us when it is going to be next in rocky and we will put it in the Garage Spank calander... it's definatly on my to do list...

There hasn't been to much tech conversations on here lately so...

This is a discussion and it is open to all with an opinion... state it openly and wisely... don't just say it is... give reasons...

What is better

a three inch Stainless exhaust or a 3 inch mild steel... just I am thinking of upgrading my exhaust and I am wondering about the advantages... it's just with mild steel I could replace my exhaust 3 times for the price of one stainless system... and what if I rip it off or something... maybe the mild steel is the go... can anyone think of any good reasons why flow would be better or is it just wank factor??

Yeah but the problem with that car is that he has bad blowby and the dipstick has to be held in with a piece of tape. POS!:upurs: [/b]

Yeah valid point,

But that POS as you call it also ran 170rwhp on a pretty hot day.

So what does you 323 run at the wheels. POS.

Man that is a small skyline in your picture dev. That s13 beside it looks pretty small too............. Dan dunno is marge would fit in on the cruises to the beach, would have loved to come down but. Might just have to get even bigger spotties on the front for the roos on the way home. I will have to get mark to hook me up with a pair, like the ones he will get on his ute.

    • 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).
