Hi all,

There hasn't been any meets in the Northern subs and the weather is looking great.

I'm thinking of a meet and a mini cruise.

I also see alot of SAU guys out that way.

Meet Location - McDonalds - Cnr Settlement & Dalton Road, Thomastown, VIC 3074 - For a chat and a bite.

For those coming in from any suburb south of Thomastown I recommend entering the McDonalds carpark from Northgate Drive.

Map link --> http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&i...006899&z=17

Meet Time - Around 7.15PM and leaving for Yarra Boulevard around 8.00PM

Destination - Leaving for Yarra Boulevard around 8.00PM. Drive to the end of Yarra Boulevard do a U-turn and drive back to the look out point where we all split.

Route - (south bound) Dalton Rd/Cheddar Rd, turn left into Broadway, turn right into Boulderwood Pde, follow onto Albert St/Station st, turn left at Heidelberg Rd, turn right at Chandler Hwy, turn right into Yarra Boulevard.

Extra Info

- Follow road rules

- Some good night/low light shots to be taken.

- If the weather forcast seems bad on the day - I'll cancel the meet and think of a time to re-schedule - I'll keep you all posted on this thread.

Good chance i'll be there too. See you guys there.

Ah I was planning on coming to this but now I've gotta take some relatives to the airport at about 9ish.

I might pop in just to the meet at maccas and head off when you guys go for your cruise :(

I thought my night would be free until my relatives decided yesterday to bring their flight forward to tonight!

Have fun everyone, drive safe ;)

    • 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).
