Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - 2009


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Just advising you all of the date of the next

BEN SIMPSON MEMORIAL MEGACRUISE

Since Ben (aka dr1ft_pig13) left us on 1st Feb 2005, we have held a memorial cruise on/near the date, to raise awareness of youth suicide. For the first time the cruise will fall on the exact anniversary of Ben's passing, so it will be bitter/sweet for us BUT we can think of no better way to spend the day.

MEET AT: K-Mart Ingle Farm (bottom cnr near Hungry Jacks)

TIME: 1pm meet and greet ( we hope to get the cruise started by 2.00pm)

DONATION: Gold Coin for Youth Suicide Education/Awareness

TRADITION: A Teddy Bear on an empty seat in your vehicle (Ben loved Bears' and we carry a sofy toy in/on your car in his honour NOT for donating)

The route will be VERY enjoyable "driving"...if you enjoyed the route last year then prepare yourself for more challenges/fun driving, this year. As per last year we will split up into 2 groups.

GROUP 1 will be experienced hills sli/drivers...it will be led by her200sx (aka Shannon), an awesome hills driver and one of Ben's closest friends...they will go first.

GROUP 2 will be for less experienced & rookie hills drivers or those whose rides are not performing at their best...OLD Mark will lead this group (We will still complete the same route & have some fun driving)

PLEASE invite all your friends to join us, the emphasis is on youth suicide awareness not fundraising... (although any donation will be welcomed)

"dr1ft_pig13 OLDS"

PS I will be happy to provide letters for those needing a rego permit.

Is there a group 3? For the people that, like, have pretty much never been in the hills?

Nah just joking, will pose this to the old man (hates the idea of cruises, but let me on sundays as its a good cause) and will tag along the tail end of group 2. See if I can get some practice in before hand.

Stock suspension fails...how about a cruise to raise funds to help me buy coilovers :):(

YES there is an unofficial Group 3...they are called the "tag alongs" ...the route map is very clear and the cruise has all left turns till the end ....so you will be fine and most welcome !

In answer to the "Ingle Farm" location ...it is 15mins from the cruise route beginning and as you have 75-90mins of hills driving, we didn't want to have another 30-45mins driving to get there. Unfortunately, I can't move the hills lol...wish I could sometimes.

We GREATLY appreciate the effort everyone makes to attend....we know it is a full day's outing for some. Please go on the NS.com site NS.com linkand answer the new POLL questions for us.

  • 4 weeks later...
roughly where will it finish and what time? (group 1)

Cheers!

Providing we get away on time (I will try to do this because of the heat) Group 1 should be finished (incl the stop half way) by 4pm. It will finish in the Athelstone/Newton area.

Hope you can make it

OLD Mark

how much fuel will be needed is another good question

...not sure on that one...depends on ur ride/turb/a/c etc....but it is just less than 100km (even though it is "hilly & bendy")

    • 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.
