Just a note to a VERY FEW new people, as they left the carpark (Ash feel free to edit or delete if i'm out of line)

Nothing our members hate more than dip-shits trying to do burn-outs as they leave the meet. If only you could hear our comments as a few of you left the carpark, i'm sure you would not do it again. If you want to be a "hero", do it away from club members and not at club meets. If we have unwanted attention because of your bullshit, i'll be all to happy to pass on your number plate details to the cops.

yeah thats whats Deca is for, i copped a face full of exhaust from that tool in the s15. :P

didnt see the other idiots leave, as i already left.

Big thanks to Wayne for organizing it, and another big thanks to Ash for taking over as Wayne couldn't make it.

great to see a massive turn out of well behaved skyline-r's

twist's where mad fun, apart from body roll and weight shift haha, but as for bumps and potholes .... stock suspension FTW! and only used half a tank!

I didn't even use a quarter of a tank :P

i think i might of only JUST used a 1/4 :P

oh damn! must be the extra weight the stagea has.

was that you on the CB complaining about the bumpy roads Julz ?

My stag is pretty good on fuel... Have you done dump/front/cat?

Mostly stock ftw. Although with the exhaust mine runs 12PSI untuned and pretty rich, it still doesn't do too badly on fuel.

I had a load of people yelling at me to do a burnout when I left. Do they think I'm stupid?

I used only 1/4 of a tank, shouldn't have filled up at the start lol

I prefered Yarra Blvd over Sunbury to Cambellfield, the roads were a lot smoother, because at one point on the way to Cambellfield, I think my car started bunny hopping for a bit lol :P

Awesome cruise guys and really impressive to see everyone behave themselves too. The trip from sunbury to campbellfield made my realise that I desperately need some upgraded suspension. Body-roll city!

Well done to organisers and fellow members. Was good to meet Charles, Zaver etc and catch up with some of the regulars as well. Can't wait to see some pics.

See you all at the next meet!

Awesome cruise! Good to see old faces and new. :P Really good night apart from getting lost a few times lol, but I realized I need to stop buying cars and invest in some much needed suspension. :P Only used 1/2 tank from the old girl, not bad.

Ash/Ron you can have power and economy :yes:

I only used less than a 1/4 tank and you both know my car ain't shy on power ;)

I usually get about 520km to a tank, and that includes either a spirited cruise, DECA day, etc. :(

    • 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).
