I don't understand why you wouldn't want to keep it in Melbourne? Unless those who voted 'no' are from interstate and are just jealous. :P

plenty of people in Melbourne want it gone. Too self obsessed to be slightly put out for a few days of the year.

it is but it isn't. The 4 day event runs at a loss of 40 million or whatever it is, but they don't include how much the revenue it brings in to the hotels, clubs, shopping etc when you add all that it's not running at so muxh of a loss if any plus it shows Melbourne to the world which hopefully brings tourist's here

you host a race event at your place so i can sell hotdogs out front

so what if you lose money, i'll be rolling in it (your logic).

the way i meant it is like you have to spend money to make money, victoria would make alot back on tourism but the media doesnt focus on that

To another country...

One that will be happy to host a night time GP.

I don't know if the locations that are under consideration at the moment could really compete with what Melbourne offers, I always thought the start of the f1 just after our summer here was great.

If Bernie wants a night race, and Melbourne don't want to put one on, then any country willing to do so can more than compete with Melbourne...

I've voted but unfortunately the sad truth of it is that the GP won't be here for much longer. The Vic Govt doesn't want it here anymore, Bernie doesn't care whether it's here anymore and attendence has been dropping. It's a sad state of affairs but the reality is that money talks and Bernie wants more of it.

      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.

      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).
