So as not to limit anyone's attendance to this SAU display at wheels, I have decided to step down from the "organiser" role to let someone with a passion for their view point to "organise" the attendance in the way they feel is right. I can not organise something in a way that is against the majority of SAU wishes. The job is half done and is not that big or hard in reality. It is best if the "organiser" attends on the day to resolve any issues as they occur. I will also assist in anyway I can, but I will not run it by default.

This is a great opportunity for someone to learn organisational skills, utilise limited resources, learning who's true to their word and will follow through with what they say they will do etc. Best of all you get to have the honour of running the "best SAU display ever" with the full GTR line up currently looking promising.

Frink, I may need you to drive my GTR but we'll let the new "organiser" allocate mature drivers before I snaffle you.

John, build a bridge and get over it :P

Aren't you coming?

I'm over it Michele :down: (See I even spelt your name right)

We have two cars in the family any only one driver ;)

It's been 3 days since my last comments (and last time I had the time to log on) and yet I see no one willing to step up to "organise" the attendance, even with full guidance and help. Michele is busy helping organise the hillclimb club someone else put your hand up.

I make this stance because

1. I want to make a point, if you don't like it, take some responsibility and do it yourself.

2. There are very few people who actually do anything for the group. It should not fall to one or two people to organise everything and some recognition should be given to those who do take a part out of their lives to do something for SAU ACT.

3. The forum has not identified a clear direction they want to take.

I don't care who steps up, what they want to do with the event etc. I will give them every piece of help I can. Cejay's done it before and it was a job well done. How about someone else step up. PM me if you want to find out what needs doing

Bec doesn't have a licence? What's your other car?

Why don't you just post what needs doing... I can't see why there really needs to be an organiser, except to tell them we're attending which I assume you've already done? Besides that, doesn't everyone just rock up at 9am?

Basically the main things are:

email the organisers how many cars are probably showing up

Beg Mick for the Federal Tent

Get someone to Bring the Banner.

Get people interested in attending

Get annoyed when 1/3 of the people don't show up :/

Is good for someone to rock up early at the site. but not really necessary.

Isn't a huge thing really. Just someone to keep everyone on track.

I'll probably show up sometime during the day, but really need to focus on other stuff atm.

I'm not that busy & I'm not organising the SDMA/hillclimb stand. I don't know if my GTR will be ready in time for Wheels, so haven't said either way at this stage if I'm bringing her. Her tune looks fantastic on a dyno, but does bugger all for running around.

I will have the open wheeler at the SDMA stand though, so long as she comes home from Oran Park this weekend in one piece.

As always... I'm always prepared to help out at any of the SAU events or fundraising bbq's etc etc I certainly haven't been one to sit on my laurels and have chipped in both physically and financially.

I'm happy to email the final numbers through and take the banner if you like. Those who are there on the day can assist with the tent and the banner, won't really need the poles if we have a tent, so probably need assurances from Mick that he will be there for the troop this time *more guilt trippin* ;)

I am interested helping out with the club, but my times are very much limited, I can only attend very few events (or, no events when we have 2nd baby next month). Also, I am on SAU forum occasionally.

I can donate decals to the club if club wants some fundraiser items, although I found that doesn't work as we found out through MR2 club. Club decals will be free, or purchased at cost price. I can certainly bring some free stickers to the events like Wheels, as a small motivator item for members to attend.

Now that's more the spirit, everyone is busy but having the ability to say you can try and do something is great.

To Michele I should clarify, in saying you were helping to organise SDMA, you were taking a race car and setting up probably the largest and the best visual display of SDMA, with the truck and associated gear to set up which takes a bit of organising. I know the effort you went to for Marques and I see that as helping to organise. I respect what Michele has done for SAU and I would not expect everything to have to fall to Michele.

I disagree with Shell in that I believe an organiser at some level is required. By that they take some responsibility for the day. We know what happened to SAU and paint ball when someone with good ideas, limited organisation skills and no responsibility tried to run an event.

We could all turn up at 9am dump our cars in some semblance of an order and be done with it. It would look average and in my opinion a waste of a display.

The displays have been getting better and better with more organisation. Why take a step back? Cejay has outlined the major items but there are a lot of other items that go towards making the day successful. The more small items that can be done the better the overall display and enjoyment of those attending.

Someone has PM'd me with an interest in the organiser role subject to a couple of items. Should they take on this role I would hope you would offer them your assistance to make the experience as great as it can be.

Cool, i'm there.

Do ya reckon anyone would mind if I took my GTST as well, complete with "For Sale" signs? It's another Skyline........

Bring the GTST too, the more the merrier. I think the for sale sign will create some interest too. Good luck with it.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
