Wollongong Pre-meet details:

I thought I would organise a little pre-meet in Wollongong for us south coast members.

I have laid out the directions on googles maps for the route we should take. From the North Gate Maccas car park pre-meet point (A) ==> to BP Petrol Station (B) ==> to the official meet point ( C ).

GOOGLE MAPS LINK

Pre-meet @ North Gate Maccas car park:

I figured this is the best place to meet as everyone knows where it is. There's also a BP station directly opposite as well.

Meet time: 8:00am

Depart time: 8:15am sharp

Tolls @ M7:

Since we'll be taking the M7, there will be a toll charge. You can get a 'Visitors e-PASS' from the Roam website here.

All you have to provide are your address/contact details, number plate, start and end date, and credit card. I always put the end date a day or 2 later than when I'm expecting to come back, just in case. If you don't own a credit card for this, then PM me and I should be able to help you out.

BP Petrol Station @ McGraths Hill:

This will be a good time to fill up while you can and it's only 10 mins away from the official Clarendon meet point. I have confirmed they have Ultimate 98 for those wondering.

That's about it I guess. If people can reply here and let me know if you're coming to the pre-meet, that will give us a good idea of who to expect. Be sure to PM or contact me on 0403 870 143 if you have any problems :)

or you can stay on richmond road instead of turning onto garfield and stop at shell across from windsor downs also 10mins from meet point but you won't have to backtrack, then turn right at roundabout onto george street which turns into macquarie road follow that till hawksbury road on left, then right onto percival, i think that is more straight forward, i can meet you guys there if you like and lead the rest of way, just a suggestion

You don't have to hang around for lunch... you could just leave at Singleton and head to work. I don't know how long it would take to get there sorry :( I would think you'd be fine though.

EDIT: hmm looks like it's about 2 1/2 hours so if we leave at 10.30am you wouldn't get back till 3.30pm :(

Maybe you could come halfway and then turnaround or something?

Has anyone kept count as to how many cars are likely to attend at this stage?

Bob.

Not really :)

Being a cruise we arent fussed about exact numbers. Some of the best cruises have been with under 10 people, so yeah keeping track of who's in and out really isnt required

weather looks to be sunny and 28 degrees :)

Perfect weather for taking out a GTR :D

hey guys, i'd love to go, however i was wondering when this even would finish roughly? as i have work at 3pm at blacktown, is it even a possible i could make it back?

Best way; go to whereis.com.au, type in the location you need to be at, then do directions to Singleton. Then see how long it says and add 20 mins for red lights - too easy

Some people do turn around at the halfway house, gives you a good hour of cruising on some beautiful roads!

Yeah. You could do that, but that'd be pretty gay. The best bit of the whole road is the last 16ks of road from Howes valley to Milbrodale. That's the best god damn section on the whole road!! Yee haa!

Okay gang. I am currently at the pub which is the destination for the cruise to Singleton. Just on my second schooner after breakfast after work, whilst being served by topless waitresses. .

The staff would like a number of the amount of people that'll be attending the pub for lunch. I told em 20.

Is there anyway we can get a bit of an idea of the amount of people that'll be coming. That way the pub will know how many staff to put on for the day.

We would be passing Prestons/Casula, under Kurrajong Rd bridge at about 9:10am.

Might be a little difficult to meet up on the move, unless you want to wait for us under the bridge on the M7 for us to go past :)

Awesome

I'd say 25 or so, its ok if we aren't all served straight away, a few minutes wait won't hurt :)

Let me know if you can't tell them and I'll call them later today

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
