Well it is a tiny bit late notice, but please reply here if you want to come along to the annual SAU Schutzenfest non-car meet-up.

As usual I will go line up with some dedicated helpers around 11:30am next Saturday and reserve a bunch of tables and chairs undercover for the masses.

If you haven't been before it is an AWESOME event with food of many genres (particularly German food), and a whole range of on-tap and canned beverages (including spirits).

Of course there is also some rifle shooting that you can submit for a possible prize if you are good enough.

Temperature is forecast for 35 degrees, so will be an awesome scorcher and will most likely have big spray tents to keep everyone cool (and the guys entertained) :)

It really is a great day, so if you haven't got anything on, come along to Ellis Park at 11:30am onwards - many of us normally pike around 6-7pm, as that is already a good 6-7 hours of drinking.

I will let you all know later this week what shirt I will be wearing if you don't know what my ugly mug looks like :)

New venue here: http://www.schutzenfest.com.au/getting-there/default.php

Confirmed attendees:

- Nightcrawler

- Whiplash

- Red Back

- Reslo

Haha it's not a typo .... you have met Ronan my Irish brother-in-law I think Luke - his nickname is Reslo. But you better be there too fathead :) You too Ben!

hehe i wont be there unfortunately, im saving my pennies (and my liver abuse) to the fishing charter heh

-D

wtf I am off the back of a $2k week in the SE with significant liver abuse (incl. an $830 tab for NYE dinner - ouch my Visa hurts), Schutzenfest next weekend then Australia Day liver festivities before the fishing weekend .... harden up Ben :)

Hmmm, i am still awaiting info about this.

Sorry but all deposits were filled before your interest. We were limited to 8 spots and it was first paid first served. Better luck next time mate

-D

EDIT - And andrew, I'm between contracts atm. I dont have the finances for it atm.

OK peoples, I have just found out that if you pre-buy a ticket for $15.80 you get a free Stein (which we normally pay about $6 for from memory).

Only catch I can see is that if you are coming later in the day, they might run out of Steins (as they do some years).

So if you are coming early and meeting me at the gate around 11:30-12pm Saturday, let me know, I will buy you a ticket online and give the ticket to you on the day. Or go to the Shutzenfest website, follow the links and buy your own.

If you want me to buy one for you (and you fix me up on the day) let me know by tomorrow night, as I will order the tickets then.

    • 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).
