At least there is something to bring us together at this crappy time....SAU NSW members please refer to the thread in the members area.

Alex, thanks for your courage facing the internet today, everyone here supports you and the families and friends remaining. Please pm when one of the exec with your contact details when you feel ready to talk about how we can help

Lets see one of the news sites publish this:

"Skylines Australia, apart from promoting OFF STREET drifting are also involved in driver training, to encourage safer more controlled driving on the street (an activity both the deceased member were repotedly active in) and several other forms of legitimate motorsport in which people with a passion get to enjoy doing what they love in a controlled environment. Further they are involved in raising many thousands of dollars each year for charities, both as a club and as individual members. While also actively discouraging members from being involved in any form of street racing, and penalising those who discuss such activities on the forums."- Please note I am not authorised to comment on behalf of SAU, but this is clearly a more accurate summary of this club.

For the Media to use this tragic event to AGAIN judge and discriminate is attrocious. Lives have been lost.

RIP, may where you go have a racetrack.

I wonder if channel 9 can be sued for slander.

RIP

rest easy gerard n tom!!! :cool: i miss u guys so effin much already... these boys were the easiest people to talk to and get along with, not only that, thank you so much for all ur awesome advice n friendships... both u guys will neva be forgotten!!! RIP ***MAN HUGZ***

R.I.P so sad to hear, very upsetting, the boys were hills shire locals

A friend was driving thru to Seven hills me being passenger and got pulled over by hwy patrol on quakers hill parkway.

Copped a red label and defect notice had to get towed home, fair enough cop the punishment for illegal mods. Wasnt expecting to get done in the west, he took the gamble.

Anyway, officer went on to spray about the crash this morning and illegal racing. Its just so sad that theres this huge persona advocated by the media that were all into illegal drag racing, drifting on streets and so on.

Hope this hits home, that no matter how good your car is setup and how well you are as a driver, its not worth it. Too many variables on the street and don't fall into peer pressure. Track is where most of us guys push ourselfs and cars and im just upset that people still risk there lives, its not worth it.

Just found this video *edit by mods: video removed, it was innacurate reporting and does not help any of us to watch*

    • 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).
