looks like it sprinkled over the south last night, not bad though, little cloudy with blue skies, looks like its gonna be a good day.

rta website shows that any sort of road work up the pass is clear :)

see u guys down south

That was a crazy drive down to Albion Park...

Good fun otherwise and some of us had a nice run through Jamberoo Mtn Rd and Mt Keira Rd on the way back north.

Thanks for organising Gemma. I think most of us managed to steer clear of a certain car that tried to bring the event down a level or three

Michael I assume you got started again, how many pies did it take? :)

i was afew cars behind the bogan in the holden, my cabin was full of tyre smoke lol

started few seconds after you guys left, ended up going down Jamberoo rd with another silver r33 gtr, gtst and 200sx..good fun :)

I still went, caught up with everyone at the pie shop. A huge thanks to the guy who bough me a pie! Like a douche, I had no money. I'll hit you back next time.

My front bumper and windscreen got splattered with rocks by that 33 :(

Oh well, it's all in good fun, time to buy some touch up paint.

Great ride everyone, thanks Gemma, hope the dogs didn't get all whimpery on the long drive back.

Really had a blast today. Thanks for organising it Gemma.

Jamberoo road was pretty fun too. We need to do that road more often when we go up Mac Pass in the future.

Hope people made it back to Syd ok this arvo. There was a crash on the Southern Freeway heading north

I took this on the bridge at the bottom of Mt Keira.

    • 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).
