The Bad.Well first off , l was totally disappointed by the turnout (15 cars l think)

And by the end off the day there was 5 cars going home in a convoy , and 3 stayed back for the motel.

The good.

It was a great day for driving , lots of sunshine (except later in got cloudy)

Everybody behaved & no major trouble.

We even managed to do the route that the 2nd day squad would have driven on Sunday.

Passed the 12 Apostles and onto Port Campbell before coming back.

well any way heres a link to some PHOTOS.

Ye was a rather dismal turnout considering we normally get 50 cars, and we book the hotel out WITHOUT taking money. Guess people will have to pre-pay from now on :ermm:

Easy drive down/back. Not one caravan for a change hehe.

I was going to come back to the motel till 6/7pm or so, but work got the better of me.

I spent all lunch working whilst @ the fish'n'chips shop and then had to leave immediately :(

Bit of a downer in that respect as i reckon the 2nd day is the best part of it all!

as others have said bit of a disapointing turnout, but otherwise was a good cruise, no troubles, weather held up and not many slow drivers through the twisties which was good

i had a great time, for the group who drove back sorry i was driving a bit slow, was because i relaised my stock suspension is pretty bad in terms of handeling but having 6.5inch wide rear wheels with approx 170kw at the wheels wasnt really helping either

good news is coilovers n strut brace are goin in this week so should be ready for the next official

will post up some of the pics i took throughout the day later on when i get them on my pc

I had an awesome time...

Sorry I took off when Ash did... ...I'd forgotten that I had told my GF I'd take her to her friends place for dinner...

I'll get my photos and videos up soon...

wow that comment sounds like this :P

It was a great cruise... despite the small turnout. Was expecting to see at least 30 cars...

weather was perfect and traffic wasn't too bad. There were a few slow cars on the GOR but most pulled aside to give us a clean run. Had an awesome time and great to meet you guys who turned up.

i was bummed i couldn't make it due to moving into new house and trying to get swimming pool sorted out and everything setup and installed. Perhaps the fact that 98 octane fuel was $1.63 a litre on Saturday had something to do with the low turnout.

that is just awesome!

most times people just sit there keeping you back knowingly.... like that 4wd from GOR day 2 2009

Lucky i filled up on Friday night when it was still a manageable 1.40 after 4c Coles discount for V-power

Well was a bummer to see only 15 cars turning up, considering the last GOR cruise with 50 cars, but nevertheless it was a fun day with good weather and some good twisties with less traffic, Its good that we did all of the stage 2 route on the 1st day itself... Was definitely worth it!!! :)

    • 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).
