Just an update guys - entry to people wanting to show off their cars in this excellent display to be held at Wigley Reserve, Glenelg this Saturday can just rock up and pay on the day. With a gracious offer from Cazz (the organiser and owner of some mind-blowing R30s and R31s herself), the SAU Exec have decided we will have an SAU tent and presence at the show'n'shine on Saturday, some come to and say hi and pick up some SAU merchandise.

Entries to the Mallala track day have basically filled up (a few spots left might be up for grabs - contact organisers ASAP if you are keen to race). Between all the Gibson cars coming (including the Winfield R32GTR, race DR30s and 31s), then cars like Munro's R33 race car, the Willall R35GTR (there will be at least 6 R35GTrs racing!) and RH9, it will be an amazing sight.

Entry is just $10 at the gate at Mallala on Sunday - the first Gibson/SVD cars parade lap is hoping to be around 9:15am, and there will be another near lunch. Plenty of racing inbetween too.

Tell your mates and come along for a great weekend. If you are into Skylines, then this weekend is the absolute ultimate!

Excellent Seb, will be great to catch up, and also to see one of (if not) the best R35GTRs IN THE ENTIRE WORLD (no exaggeration necessary). People who haven't seen Seb's extremely heavily modified (to say the least) R35GTR should come just to see that one car, let alone the 100s of other awesome cars that will be present.

That is a very good question Ryan - can someone who has pre-registered and got their paperwork handy post up the start time? I am not sure if the folks would have this already or whether they get it at sign-in tomorrow. I assume it would start at 9am (so cars there from 8am for setup or something like that), but will confirm as soon as I know.

This seeing gracious offer from Cazz and I managed to convince the missus to let me go to this about 12 last night, though my car is abit dirty :ermm: Hopefully there is still some room when I rock up in 1/2 an hour or so

    • 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).
