i think chubbs or cassbo posted this once.. i meant to do it in my intro-to-texi thread but forgot.. over and over. next time i see my liner is sunday though, so can't take pics before! arg

:P

That was a long next day :D

Any who, I took some pics as evil_weevil's ones have stopped working. Figure I might also do a bit of instruction while I'm at it.

Step 1.

Go to your local Autobarn / Supercheap / Repco / where ever. Take a look at what fire extinguishers they have. You are looking for 3 things

1. Over 0.9 kgs

2. AS1841.5 sticker

3. Pressure still in the "green"

4. Comes with a bracket.

Here are some pics of what I mean.

I bought my extinguisher for around $30 so I imagine that yours will cost a similar amount.

Step 2.

Pull the extinguisher out of the box and separate the bracket from the extinguisher.

Step 3.

Drill the mounting hole furthest from the bracket's latch out to at least 8mm. I drilled mine out to 9mm to give me some margin to play with when I finally mount it.

EDIT

Be careful when drilling as the drill can grab the thin metal of the bracket and force it out of your hands, usually giving a good gouge in the process. Use a vice or stand on the bracket like I did lol

Step 4.

Undo the bolt that holds down the passenger side of the rear seat.

Step 5.

Bolt bracket to rear seat mounting point.

Step 6.

Put extinguisher into bracket

Ian,

All good to turn up whenever you want through the day, and taking photos from the sidelines is fine. We have the photographers that can move about the place, and get closer shots; with their gear, we offer the service for people who want professional-type photos of their cars; they're frigging good at what they do :) I don't think you'd annoy anyone taking your own pics from the sides.

If you want to actually be a passenger in a car, you'll need ankle to wrist clothing, a helmet, and sign a short waiver that says you understand the risks of motorsports. Having said that though... It's a wide open pad with no trees or banks or anything :)

that being said, make sure you bring some church change on the day incase you feel like a feed/drink as theirs no atm's around the joint..

Thats one way to look at it, the other way is this; There is only one other location we could use for this in the whole of Sydney, it's overpriced and small. Where we go, there is a great relationship between club and venue, screamer pipes and therefore noise complaints from residents wouldnt help that cause and given this venue is booked every day of the year they dont need SAU's business so we do everything we can to not be a problem to deal with for venue management.

If it didnt have to be that way, i'd be all for it

if there still space u can enter long.

im buying one already with bracket from another member and im gonan fit it on the day.

There is a Super Cheap on richmond road blacktown (if yu get off the M4 at Blacktown reserviour road exit you'll drive past it)

There is a Super Cheap in Bella Vista Homemaker Center old windsor rd. (If you get off the M2 at seven hills you'll drive past 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).
