Hi All,

It's that time of year.....with a little twist..

Around this time each year we all get up nice and early, trek out to a rural McDonalds for an early morning feed and a chat with some new and old friends, then get ready for a great day out and about with like minded people!

This is one of our annual events and it tends to be one of the most popular; probably because it's generally free which leaves us with more money to spend on the car :P . Compared to some of our other events, this is probably the most laid back, no 'social drinks' before the cruise, no drag strip, no race track, just a bunch of skylines, some stageas, random Nissans and usually one or two other types of cars cruising together enjoying one of the nicest roads NSW has to offer.

We will cruise from windsor macca's at 10:30am sharp and head up to the halfway house on Putty road (approx 1.5 hours or so into the journey) where we will have a stop of about 15 mins from when the last car parks to have a toilet/fuel/drink stop (note, this station is a shell but doesn't have 98ron fuel, or didn't last time anyway). SAU NSW Committee members will lead the way and be scattered throughout the pack to ensure people don't get lost and of course to make sure everyone is behaving themselves as this is a public road :D

After that we will head to singleton for lunch, we will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours in singleton. Note Singleton does have a Shell not far from lunch that does sells 98 ron.

After Lunch it will be up to you all what you do. What we generally decide to do is head off to sample a few of the local fermented grape juices and perhaps some old mouldy dairy products. All are more than welcome to tag along.

If you don't think you will be up for the drive back home you can also spend the night; I will look in to some accom options if people are interested. please post up if you would like to spend the night, then we can look at some of those 'social drinks' :yes:

Now for that 'Little Twist'..

SAU NSW has decided to use the Putty Road event as a Charity Cruise, to help raise some money for a local charity and give some thing back to the community and help out those who really need it!! Everyone has a reason for donating to their own charity, which is why it makes it hard for us to chose any one charity to donate to, what we have decided to do is put up to you, the members. The Executive committee have each chosen a charity they want to donate too and we would like you to vote for the charity we donate the cash to.

If we do any more charity cruises/events before the next Putty Road Cruise we will donate to the 2nd highest charity and so on. Next year we will re-do the vote and choose a new group do donate too.

Please use the voting buttons at the top of the page to vote for your charity.

    • 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).
