Hey guys should i bring a tow rope incase one of the c34's breakdown. I know they are getting a little old these days :bunny:

Said he who hasn't had the turbo blow on the M35 yet. :action-smiley-069:

Brad.. your supposed to be on my side buddy :) and i wasnt meaning the drivers i meant the motors, transmissions etc etc..

Truth is at least one of the drivers is old but...seriously OLD :rofl2: Nah all good, I reckon the 34's can hold their own !

We are gunna have a track day soon to prove it....happy to bring a tow rope that day.lol

"the old fella"

ill come to a track day no probs but i wont be on the track in my boat its just a family/dog car but that would be a good day in the park. i just wanted to stir the pot good to see i got a response.

cant wait for this cruise see what adelaide has to offer.

Yes, we Legnum drivers are keen. :thumbsup:

Quick question though, as we are a VR4 forum, with a fair portion of Galant sedans too - are these welcome? or do you like to keep your cruises strictly wagon only? (presume the usual skylines aren't overly abundant in numbers on your cruises)

We like to keep it wagons only, when skylines get involved, it turns into just another car cruise.

Just a thought... I have a mate with a Subaru Liberty GT wagon, could we extend the invitation to these cars?

And then invite the volvos. :whistling:

Im out for the 25th its my daughters bday that day and I will be on the dawn cruise the weekend B4.

Have fun see you next 1

What about if we just stick with the Legnums for now, and see how it goes? If we start to invite everyone it looses some of the effect...

On one hand, I really like the concept of growing the group to all import wagons & on the other hand I like the stagea exclusivity

...silly old bugga aren't I (having an each way bet)...trying the Legnums to see how the group "pans out" is a great place to start (I think)

...having Stagea only cruises....with the occasional mixed cruise, sits well with me but happy to fit in with the majority.

PS...can't wait to get our stag back from the "ding/bling shop"

The "big Fella" & I have been talking about a charity Slavo Xmas toy run...us OLD folks run one each yr that attracts

100-150 cars...we were thinking of the Stagea group (a Sthn & Nthn collection) making it their cruise but inviting all

the others..that is only 3 months away....we could have 1 or 2 more Stag cruises then an all in...led by a line of stagea

...just discussion at the moment. It's unreal to see the group growing so fast..

"O'Mark"

alright, lets get this sorted. This is a stagea cruise, as per previous cruises it is for Stageas, wehave extended the invitation to the Legnums crew, because they are like us, an organised group of enthusiasts.

It adds some variety(but not much) and a bit of friendly rivalvry between the 2 models.

If we invite every single wagon/van/hatch element, we end up looking like an afternoon in front of the local primary school.

there is plenty of opportunities for other cars to go on cruises, ie JAF cruise, Ben Simpson memorial and the previously mentioned Christmas charity run.

100% agreed upon lets keep simple and tight

bigkevracer NM35 Stagea 161.2AWKW

Dunc NM35 Stagea 176.8AWKW

Ruby C34 Stagea 232.0RWKW

Seems to me like the M35s are a little underpowered :laugh: This list is from yesterday's dyno day for SAU-SA. My Stag previously made 252.8rwkw on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. Yesterday's dyno day was on a Mainline.

On a serious note, SAU-SA club is going to have another track day in the coming months. Would like to see a few Stageas out there ... I'll be there to better my 1m29s now I have 70kw more and bigger brakes. Track day list is open to club members first then extended to non-members. When the clutch drops, the bullshit stops :P

    • 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).
