You Bet!!!

And get your Daily Telegraph to-day everyone!

Keep that CARS Guide Cover Story as your personal Memento forever!!! :P

Congratulations Bobby! :rant:

Many many thanks to David Fitzsimons - Daily Telegraph Motoring Editor for a wonderful job over 2 full pages #99-100!

Got it :yes: Only problem is the link is a misnomer, the "Events" section... But wasn't specified under the NSW section.

Just to reiterate regarding food / lunch;

There will be a range of pies, light snacks and soft drinks available through the Edge Cinema. :P

Keeping in mind the movie is to start at 1:30pm sharp, there are also tons of cafes / takeaway shops etc just over the highway in Katoomba. This is a pretty relaxed 10-minute walk (each way) *up* the exit driveway of the Edge (Civic Pl), head right when you hit the highway to the next set of lights and take the railway overpass into Katoomba.

However, if you're getting your car photographed through Eric (Pezhead) or want to spend more time hanging around the cinema to check out the cars before the movie starts it might be wiser to bring a packed lunch due to time limitations (particularly for the later groups).

Hey 3 people from here will be meeting at Cabramatta car wash next to hungry jacks before heading off to the meet point. Unsure of the time yet though but I'll get back to you with it

ok kool sounds like a plan, just let me know on the time...hopefully early the better

was a great story, except for the pic with the knob next to the car :D

Always modest, you are.

Wish I had a build like yours in my mid 30s :ermm:

...unless you cheated and held your breath? :D

Also picked up the DT today. Great piece. Love your car mate.

Shame you can't fully enjoy her though as you want to keep the kms down and preserve her condition. Have to do a Ferris Bueler :) Not that I'd endorse that kind of thing.

My afms started to play up last night...great perfect timing as always :D

Don't worry mate, you're not the only one. Got new coils installed today and it's now got pretty bad misfire lol. Trying to fix it before the cruise!

Great little article grabbed a copy on the way home last night, then thought I should clean my car some more so I pulled all the wheels off and starting polishing up my brake callipers haven’t cleaned them since World Time Attack bloody brake dust. All red and shinny again :D Hope it dosent rain now.

Hey all - tomorrow IS the big day.

Here is a map in case anyone wants it. I've highlighted a couple of the key turns.

For best results save this picture file and print it in full resolution.

SAU_Penrith-to-Katoomba_cruise.jpg

If anybody is lost on the day with road directions to/from or when up at katoomba around the area yell out to me (red ss ute) lived in penrith my entire life and spend 14hrs a day on the roads in the blue mountains so know it better than anywhere.

As a side note for the journey home from Katoomba which I think will be after 4pm, in all honesty it's going to be an absolute shit fight getting from Katoomba (iMAX) to Penrith (M4). Due to massive highway road works, during the week it has taken from 1.5 to 3 hrs just to do half that trip of 21km (which is normally around 15-20mins tops) so do not expect to get home any time before 8pm and make sure you have plenty of fuel for idling in traffic because fuel servo's are few and far between. The absolute worst weekend of the entire year to hold this event but still im looking forward to it.

Also as someone who grew up in the mountains I know Sunday arvos can be a pain going East, + Bathurst weekend + roadworks. Won't be so bad with some company in the car and some music. But you can also consider hanging around Katoomba until after about 8-9pm; there are tons of nice places to eat around Katoomba / Leura like the Carrington (Katoomba St nr station), Canton Palace (246 Katoomba St), and so on.

Wall St Money Never Sleeps is also playing at the Edge at 5.40pm / The Other Guys at 5.30pm on the day, together with a bunch of other movies (with sessions on at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm) so that's another option for delaying your trip home if that's something you can afford to do. :P

Cheers,

Matt

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
