Great ideas.

ECR 33, can you please PM me your e-mail address. So i can update you after this weekend's discussion (as you probably wont be there being geelong and all ;))

As for camping, i'd be up for that.

I know of several places, and one is very secure with only one exit/entry

And if numbers are not too high, i have a house we can use, but i can only let members i know well as it's worth a fair bit of $$$.

but it's like 5 mins walk from the safe camping ground i know of so that's good.

Im sure something can be arranged easily anyways.

And im thinking then (if we camp) we can do a 2-part cruise.

Day One - Apollo Bay/BBQ/beers etc.

Day Two - Cruise down to the 12 Apostles etc and do some sightseeing and drive back that afternoon after lunch or something.

??

just a few ideas crossing my mind at the moment ;)

My other reason for thinking of staying the night was that IF there is a large number of people that can't make it down on the Saturday but really want to do a GOR cruise, then a second crew can head on down Sunday morning and meet up with the over nighters. This will increase the number of happy campers in our newly developed Club that aims to please!

And camping sounds great. All we need is a skyline wagon to bring the beer!

Any more ideas people?

or thoughts???

if your not coming to the SAU drinks this Sunday then post whatever you think up here as the specifics will be decided on Sunday between who-ever is there.

I'm just going to say that the cruise will probably go to Apollo Bay, that's a very reasonable distance without going 'too far'

Suggestions so far:

1) Split two day cruise, drive down to somewhere like Apollo Bay and camp the night.

2) Have two groups for two days, the Sat people camp, and then the second run of people come down on Sunday ?

3) Just go there and back, same day.

Attached is a pic of one of the last GOR cruises... Just to get you all into groove a bit more.

Simply awesome shots

:P

Id hate to burst anyones bubble... but maybe we should make it for early March...

Just saw this up on the MCCR site....

** Now i guess everyone wants to know whats coming up! Well theres a regs cruise, an open daytime bbq cruise a massive nighttime cruise and also a inter-club great ocean road weekend away in late Feb. But details on that one will be released next week. :thumbdwn: **

Id hate to driveup there the same time that they are... we all know the cops love MCCR

HHmmm... thanks for that... something i didnt want to hear, but good none-the-less.

I'll take it to drinks tomorrow and put it on the table.

Also i'll ask around a few people i know and see what the deal is exactly...

There are a few other routes that we can take to go to Apollo Bay. And then we can still do the 12 Apostles/campin etc.

anyways... what were you doing looking at the MCCR site?

:P

ash

LOL

knew that was comin...lol

I stopped going on their wankk cruises over a yr ago.. they still send me emails to tell me when the next cruise is.. so i went to it.. Its actually been months and months since ive even been on their website.. But lucky my intuition told me to look...LOL

Not able to make it tomorrow unfortunately.. :P

Will see you guys soon though!!

28th still sounds like a good idea regardless of other cruises on that day. SKYLINE people will turn up to a SKYLINE/sports cruise. If we have to we can always go the backway from Apollo Bay to Geelong through the hills and the other half the GOR or vice versa. There's a bit of fun either way.

Camping also sounds like a good idea as long as it's set a fair way in advance. All ideas are sounding good, so assuming my car's finished and back on the road by then, count me in!!!

Pick a date and i'm there!

They certainly do have a bad rep with the cops...

Thats why i would rather go on a diff weekend.. but i suppose thats up to the guys organising the cruise..

So.. i may or may not be in..

Cheers!! ;)

Xplodeskyline, MCCR is the Melbourne Car Cruise Registry. A fairly big club of all kinds of cars. When out and about there's always a few d**kheads causin trouble. Bit of a cop magnet.

If too many people want to change the date because of this, then soon after would be good otherwise it will never happen.

After the current discussion on MCCR and their choice of day for cruisin, i feel it is time we find out roughly how many cars will be attending just so we have numbers in mind.

R31Nismoid and Snowman wat r ur opinons on the MCCR and the current date of choice?

I've have not checked the MCCR web-site so i dunno if they have some with a date.

But we will still go ahead i think. If we cross path's then we do.

Nothing that can be done. We have a few options for different routes etc so it shouldnt pose a problem if we are all early and puntcual.

I'd say the camping thing is out ???

I'll probably be staying down there for the night. though. Just easier.

Come on guys!

More input gets a better cruise

    • 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).
