Tentative plan at the moment is too meet up at the BP/McDonalds at Milton Rd, Milton, parking at back of maccas or in streets behind. Head out on Waterworks Rd/Mt Nebo Rd/Mt Glorious Rd. 1 stop @ 27km @ Jollys lookout carpark. Then a 63km run to Somerset Dam picnic area, probably a 2nd stop to be decided. maps to follow soon.

yer count us in, just let me know a time for the nilton maccas meet up, maybe phil and i can meet somewhere and drive to milton together. just dont expect me to go fast as my car wont go over 2500-3000rpm.

Some mud maps for the cruise. I guess the time will depend on when Micah and Gold Coasters are planning to leave. TBA. No plan for return trip, either back using similar route or a more relaxing drive to the Bruce Hwy via Kilcoy.

If we end up parking in the undercover carpark at the rear of Ronnie's in Milton, might be a good idea to at least buy a 40c cone, thus avoiding any loitering issues which may arise.

Ok, so the Gold Coast (1st) meeting point will be at Coomera BP at 9.00am, with a 9.30 departure time. According to whereis.com, it should take us around 40 mins to reach Black st in Milton (Chook's meeting point), so I assume we'll leave a short time for any latecomers to arrive, and anticipate leaving there at around 10.20am-10.30am, then it's on to Chook's route. I am going to perform a full recce run this weekend, to determine any potential issues with roadworks, etc.

I am waiting on a large number of contact ph#s etc, and need to know what you guys want to do for lunch: bring your own, or contribute cash/food toward a bbq (if we go this way, I will need to know how many passengers/extras are coming, so we can get enough food and drink).

Info has now been added to first page

If you have any queries, please pm myself or Chook.

Cheers,

Micah

Micah, I drove the route today up to the Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious intersection, road is good. However the Jolly's lookout carpark only holds around 15 cars, as 1/2 is parking for motorbikes, empty today but on a Sunday might be hard to park all our cars. There is a another carpark further down the road on the same side, WESTRIDGE OUTLOOK, parking for around 25 I reckon. If you do the reccy run, could you check out what the parking is like there on weekends ? Simon

    • 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).
