I woke up at 7:30am, went for a stair run at Coogee which brought out an awful hangover (only a 6 pack the night before) feeling. Got home and saw it was raining like crazy so I pulled out and blamed the hangover. That was my txt Hamiltonau.

Seemed like a good call :)

we got at the meet point and then checked here and saw it was canceled :( weather on the way home was seriously terrible!

Saw a few cars there, cruised with BOO5TN i think it was on the way there..

ah! i was trying to figure out who had a red 33! :D that thing sounded tits!

It was me Patrick, the Great Sir Andrew !!!!!!!! :) HAHAHAHAH

Was good to meet a few people and go for a drive up there. Bloody good timing the rain stopped for when we got to the lookout, it sure made up for it on the way home!!! Heaviest rain EVER!!!!! Saw a car that had spin off the road on Mona Vale road and go backwards into a tree at a decent speed, YIKES!!!!! Heaps of other cars had stopped. MASSIVE areas of aqua planing on the road too, not cool. but adds to the excitement!!!!!

Great to meet Patrick, Joel, Ed and Michael in the R32 GTR, plus briefly meet slow skyline (your car sounded PHAT when you left the car park, nice wheels too mate :D )

Got some good pics from the lookout will post up when i get the camera sorted.......

good finally meeting you to andy!

trip home was a bitch, i r needing more tyre.

yeah love Eddies plates most of all 'keepup' apparently they attract a bit of attention..wonder why :P

oh and

We took it mighty easy on the way up and back

Yeah i drove like a biatch on the way back, even on 12psi my car just spins the wheels in the wet....... plus my walking frame was getting in the way of the steering wheel, i cant help if i am a girly-man :D

Yeah got heaps of scenery pics, still on camera at home, just need to find the cable and upload them. I'll post the good ones here so you can grab them.

i'd be either way :P remember im HARDCORE

:thumbsup:

sorry to hear u get wheelspin so easily Andrew, guess having all that power sometimes has its disadvantages...woot! only time i would be able to lose you i guess, bring on the rain

oh and Eddie, if u only ever take that beast out on wknds? then thats just karma biatch :P if i had that thing it would be on the road morning and night.

I am beginning to think im never going to get to go on a cruise with you guys :(

Nah, there's more unusual stuff as well as cruises on for this year.

For instance, stayed tuned for another cruise up to Trackside Restaurant 2011 with another high profile guest.

And Matt's working on some more besides...:thumbsup:

yup weekends only these days ...bloody garage queen hey lol!

cruise + golf day ftw!

Yeah Luke! Had originally planned to do both - would've had to meet up 1.30, leave Church pt 2.00pm, up to the lookout by 2.30pm, then to Freshwater by 3.30pm - was a bit tight.

Balgowlah is a 9-hole course and only 15 bucks after 4pm for 9 holes, in addition bourbons at the clubhouse worked out to about $4.50 each and the bartender even drove a couple of the boys home afterwards... the place is recommended..

    • 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).
