Well from what I see it is looking like a few showers, but the amount of rain is looking low. Anything has to be better than what we had last year!

Stu,

knowing all of those roads quite well you've picked the cream of the roads in the area. I had no doubt the Whitfield Rd especially the section under the power lines would be used, but will it be in both directions?

Just a question on the Eildon-Jamieson Rd as well, did you have to put much pressure on the Shire to seal that rd? Once sealed it will be beome quite a popular rd for people wanting an alternative route to-from Buller. Also what surface are they planning? Spray seal?

Looking forward to this ;)

I'm putting plans into motion to spend a few weekends down that way for recce ;)

Would be good if everyone makes public their travel plans in the Garden state for same and we may all be able to spend some happy recce times together! :down:

Oh how I do like a good recce fossic ;)

Yeah Dan, both ways! Mansfield Whitfield Road will be split into three stages each way.

Re Eildon Jamieson Road, the shires had plans to seal and this has simply been bought forward. It will be in final prep as roadbase ready for sealing at THC so we will simply transport over it, but will be in good condition as sealing is due to take place in the week(s) after the event... hopefully with a year to cure it will make it one of the best targa stages to be found. The surface will be better than simple spray and rock speard which has pretty short life, expect to see something much the seal at the Jamieson end which is next up from spray.

Cage sounds like a good idea Jeff... you just can't trust those Queenslanders!... but if you can lend me the key that would be great, I'll be over Thursday to do the roadbook! Just leave the key under a pot plant if you like! :banana:

I think you might be a bit more trustworthy than Ben

    • 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).
