prospect and grand junction ... happened right in front of me as i stopped at the red light ... this old woman in a camry didnt' give way to a motor cyclist while turning right ... motorbike hit the car ... i heard a louch screech as the guy on the motobike tried to stop but couldnt' ... he ended up about 5 meters away and his bike probably a further 10 meters on the sidewalk, it was a nice bike too... i couldnt' believe it ... as it was right in front of me ... i got out to see if the guy was ok and then i called the ambulance ... i couldnt' beleive how long it took to get through ... must have taken about 4 to 5 minutes ... other people stopped and helped too ... the guy was ok though although i couldn't see anything really wrong except for some bad scratches but he couldn't move so i suspect he could of broken something ... the old lady was in shock ... waited around til the ambo's and police came and i gave them my details as a witness ... feel kinda sorry for the guy as he wasn't wearing much for protective gear... just a helmet .. other than that he had on some track pants and a pretty normal top i think... i hope u all wear protective clothing if u have bikes ... still in a bit of shock right now myself...

There was a fairly bad accident on Daws Road last night. Five or six ambulances, two fire trucks, four or five police cars...

I initially thought it was an RBT / defect station, so I followed a random VL turbo through a backstreet to avoid it.

Saw a 180 being defected in the city last night too, on Currie St.

yea i feel for the bloke too, although there are a huge group of wankers on motorbikes who hoon up and down anzac highway friday and saturday nights. Im really looking forward to them getting caught for their stupidity.

you'd also have to be totally stupid to wear shorts and a tshirt while riding a motorbike. if you aren't going to wear protective clothing for the rest of you're body, why would you bother wearing a helmet either.

im one of those that cruise on friday and saturday nights in a group. So then tell me whats the diference when you have drags up anzac highway and anywhere else infact. And dont spin me shit and say that you never drag and shit like that. Unless your is really that slow it could never break the speed limit

I would have seen you vendetta erm.. maybe 2 weekends ago.

Was coming home from some where (can't remember) hit Anzac highway when I saw a group of bikes cruising acting responsibly, cruised for a little while when I turned off to head south. :)

Heaps of hoon heads out that night. Didn't bother looking for a drag but.

I want a bike one day, when I finish Uni.

Other half won't let me at the moment. She'll come around eventually. :)

are you for real??? Anyone will agree with me that doing 160 + on a busy road, beit anzac highway or not, also being a 60zone, is just ****n stupid.

ohh yea im so jealous, how can I get over not suffering from having the lack of brains that you do to be stupid enough to do 160kmh with 10 other riders taking up 3lanes on anzac highway from every set of traffic lights.

real smart one you are!!

you must be so proud of yourself. If it boosts your ego good on it and keep on doing it. I hope you get busted.

    • 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).
