sorry i havent been on for a while but has a date and cruise been organised yet?

yeah i keep forgetting to look at this thread!!! has the route been finalized yet, its getting close!!! cant wait !!!!

Route is still not confirmed

just so many options and so many different opinions

i'm keen for driving up towards bridport then back through scottsdale and hit the sideling

had a look online and i can't see that its going to be closed down or anything and its the only one that kinda goes somewhere

Ok guys

looks like we're just gonna do a gentle meet up and cruise to beauty point

CLICK ME

i know its not the most exciting drive but it'll be good to get out and meet up

thoughts?

Hi all

As andrew and ben said too short and not enough corners,why not go to connara juction through avoca to st marys pass down elephant pass to bicheno onto swansea down east coast to sorell,stop in to the new hobby shop and get early tea hobart area and come back to lonny.

Now this is a cruise need to leave early around 9am start.

Is this too farrr for everyone.

Being from the south I'm not up for a short straight cruise after driving up the midlands highway for it, something which goes half way around the state sounds awesome to me, I'm willing to drive up to the start and just stop back off at Hobart half way. It would make for a pretty epic day, and people don't need to go the full trip if they don't want to.

That being said, the east coast I've done to death, I'd love to find some nice roads up on the north west, perhaps even cutting back through the lakes.

everyone over on boost is keen for the short easy cruise

this is not going to be the only cruise this year

i'll organise another one as we come back into some warmth (maybe even a ski trip for those who are keen)

i'm happy with going to beauty point, meeting up and getting to know everyone and just chilling

we'll leave the longer, more scenic cruises to later in the year when its warmer

I just drove this route today for work, unfortunately i was in a hiace van not the stag but good rd,

the east coast one will be a great drive but i think we should save it for when the weather heats up a bit

there is a lack of sun at the best of times so we'd have to keep pushing on and moving forwards

i think its better to do a few smaller cruises than one massive one

sure are welcome mate

will be the morning of the 26th of june

exact time to be confirmed yet

meeting at the lower uni car park (in the middle of the straight road between the two roundabouts)

My friends and I will probably meet you guys at the start and then take a different route, we have all done a lot to our cars between cruises and are keen for a all day cruise down to Bicheno or the Lakes.

no worries mate, trying to cater for all here and keep things safe

apparently the sideling tends not to see much sun in winter and gets pretty slippery

be good to see you guys at the start tho

    • 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).
