Yup.

2 cars.

R33 - $801

Laser - $691

Both due next month.

Bye bye tax refund. (well a nice chunk of it)

I see fuel is already on the rise, preparing for the offset to be phased out. F#@$R@RFAA$#^TWQ$#Q%#@%Q#@^Y#$WE

Well I filled up this arvo... 133.9 for ultimate. Last fill on the same day last week at the same servo I payed 126.9. Not happy Jan!

But on the plus side, for the first time I got better than 10L/100km!!! 441km and took 44L :P (9.98L/100km, still under 10 though!!)

Just a shame it still cost me more to fill than it did last week with worse economy.

Yeah. my gf works for a major brand of servo and she said that with this weeks price jump the 8-10c's will be added. Its more than 8c's due to gst so knowing fuel company's they will add 10c's. Im just glad i can walk to work.

Thinking back 12 months though fuel was about 1.70 - 1.80+ a liter. Were still better off than then.

Yeah as of the 1st July expiry date, V8's go to just under $1000 for 12 months...

It sucks, but there is little we an do... :(

true dat, the BP in dalby has had ultimate at 122.5 for about 3 weeks straight now

You live in Dalby???

I'll be there Thursday morning... Tis a nice drive out there (the back way)... :P

I drive past a Shell and a BP every day to and from work and there's usually no difference in their prices. (Give or take a cent or so)

I couldn't believe the amount of people that were queued up on Tuesday arvo at the servo around the corner from me just to save themselves about $5! They must have had to wait 30 minutes + just to get it.

I like how my rego is still counted as a 1.3L car.

Saw lines of cars at the servos filling up trying to beat the rise, the $5 or so that they'll save will end up being spent on a newspaper and coke or something else inside the servo.

I like how my rego is still counted as a 1.3L car.

Well I guess I dont feel too bad with a 6 litre...

You'd be spewing if you had like a 3.5L Rover V8...

Hardly a V8 but still 8 spark plugs and $970 rego...

How much is six cylinder rego ?

Change from $800...

Think it was like $790 ish...

    • 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).
