Anyone have suggestions on times and locations?

My suggestion would be about midday (because there are some people who have to travel)

And there are heaps of places around Newy...

Wharf Rd ("Pit Lane") - This is ideal for showing off our cars :D It is right on the foreshore, across the road from the water. But can sometimes take a little while to find a park later in the day, so the earlier the better for this location (maybe 11-11.30am?). We can park up right next to the grassed areas... Really nice location.

King Edward Park (It's not right on the foreshore, and can be busy at times, especially on a Saturday with Weddings & BBQ's being held there sometimes).

yer lunch time sounds good , how bout w meet up in the car park that is behind nobbys beach car park(not sure of the name )there is usualy plenty of parks down there and we could get all the stags together for pics too down there and it is next to the park aswell.

Yeah...sure, i'll rig up the bungee cord just incase you feel inclined to boot it when i'm hanging on by my big toes. lol

Props for the lift - i'd rather leave the commodore at home. :D

That's pretty much where the boat ramp is, yeah? Even if we meet there first, usually always parks there. Good thinkin!!!

OK all,

lets sort a final list of whos coming.

Also I have an idea for some photos if someone is keen to take some decent ones. I might be able to get the cars up to the top of fort Scratchley. there are some big guns and also it hasn't really been done before.

let me know what you think

Damn that's almost uncanny timing.

I'm actually driving my stag down from brisbane that day, but I probably won't be passing by newcastle til about 5 or 6pm. If for some reason I end up passing through earlier I'll have to drop by.

Cheers,

    • 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).
