I got the air con of the 25G regassed today. The local aircon man is also a Volvo afficondrio. Turns up in his "White Knight" Volvomobile waggon.

Then looks at the front of my RS4 and says "That is a much better looking front than a Volvo" Too true.

at my surf club Friday night I come out to find these people crawling all around my car, looking at the front, looking in the windows, looking under etc. When they saw it was my car they said "What kind of Toyota is this?" :P

^^^ Lol.

Today at the CAMS come and try day - motorkhana session with my "coach"

"Now Volvos have a pretty good turning circle don't they, my friend used to have one?"

Ummmmmm....lol.

Just today, an m35 pulled on to the freeway and cruised next to us for a bit, my sister did a tripple take on it and just as it cruised past us, she says "hmmm, that's a cool Nissan wagon, sorta like yours yeah"? I reply with a smile "yeah it is, It's the newer model stagea" thinking to myself that was a good pickup by her as she's no car nut by any means, and she DIDN'T call it a Volvo!

Low an behold, the next thing to come out of her mouth......"geez it kinda looks like a Volvo though".

I facepalmed...

^^ Ha, my missus sends me texts when she spots an m35.

The CEO from where I work came out the other day and saw me taking stuff out from the car and asked if it was an 'Odyssey'.... I explained that it's an import. All I could I have said.

Filling up at my local servo the other day, guy was reading the badge at the rear of my M35 as he was walking past.... "Nice stag-ia" he said to me (thinking he pronounced it right) :no:

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
