F*** the rain boys, that's what wax is for. I gave my car a sprinkle off lastnight and the water just bounced right off the inpenetrable fortress of wax. Muhahahahaha.

Seriously though, if this shit starts properly/torrentially bucketing down and therefore no foot traffic / no fun, do we still have to stay to the end or can we close the show early?

good point bird's .. . . But i think council has made it clear to Ash that only within those times car's are moving.

I just got told no work tomorrow. So might be down. Enter will see on weather due to bird's comment about cars there for no reason :D

That's true and fair enough. Unless it's pissing down in the morning I'll be coming...I don't mind isolated showers here and there, it's to be expected throughout the day...but if it's gonna be consistent rain we'll be the only ones looking at our cars...either from their interiors or from the inside of a restaurant/cafe :D

Forecast not looking too bad...atleast for the morning...

From BOM:

Forecast for Saturday

Cloud increasing with areas of rain developing later in the afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds northwest to southwesterly and averaging 15 to 20 km/h, becoming light during the afternoon. City: Rain periods developing. Min 18 Max 23.

So as i've said all along, no really bad weather issues for us.

So if we can move on from the weather and focus on a good event, that would be great!

If something drastic happens weather wise tomorrow, i will deal with it tomorrow.

Very glad youre staying strong with this Ash, a little bit of rain never hurt no one, but id thought id check here before I go and spend then next few hours getting my entrant ready :)

See you all there!

is it just me who left car detailing till the last min lol

LOL man is there anything better to do on a Friday night other than polish your ride while sippin ice cold beers with good company?

I think not. You there with new wheels on? Me too. I got a secret weapon to unleash :)

P.S you cant go past Meguiars Gold Class Dan.

    • 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).
