what about down to portsea or somewhere - thinking a place with good locations for pics should be considered. cruise to barwon heads - down the geelong freeway?

just throwing ideas in the air.

i'd like to commit to coming but i can't even organise myself a day at a time.....

As mentioned I'm a fan of the Marysville idea, think it would be nice to support the local community there (afternoon tea at one of the local cafe's etc). I've got a mate with an S1 who's keen as well.

Monash car park would be a good place to meet up as there's plenty of space there to line em up. I've organised to borrow the old's SLR for the day so I'm happy to take camera duty. The cam also does 720p video at a reasonable framerate so I'll be sure to have the missus on duty during the drive itself.

6th of Feb Sunday.

Cruise to marysville - Or if to far we'll decide at the meet.

Any Ideas where to meet?

usually when i oragnaise cruises, we have 2 seperate meets. east meet and west meet, just so we can cruise together in seperate groups for the first official meet spot.

but i dont know where marysville is, but anyway we usually for the westies meet at ring road maccas. plenty of parking and its on the freeway. i suggest depending on which direction it is, the meet spot should be at a servo on a freeway,

that way we can all fillup/top up so we dont need to do random stops during the day for 1 person to fill up. plus everyone can stock up on food n drinks if needed and theres usually a resturant attached weather it be subway maccas etc. so we can all get a feed together. might aswell break bread with eachother.

Can't remember where you are coming from mate, but the link below shows Taylors Lakes (first western 'burb that I thought of) to Maysville.

Healesville would act as a good join-up point for the East and West groups.

hahah taylors lakes is where i live!

ok... so we gotta come to the east....

WESTIES i will be at the BP on sharps rd (I say sharps road because for those who live off the calder its the first exit, and also for those coming from the deer park area, its also an easy exit from the freeway!!!!)

ill get there at 8:00 AM... will wait til 8:30am before i head off to the main meet spot, wherever that may be!...

if i dont know how long its going to take to get to the mainspot, so 1.5 hours should be suffice.

wait......

is there any stag owners from the west? haha

    • 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
