BIG4 Shepparton Parklands

OK, I just rang the above caravan/cabin park and the owner said that normally he would be able to negotiate the "Min 4 night stay" deal, however, the last weekend in Oct is Melbourne Cup weekend and in this instance, it's not negotiable.

Other thing to consider is all the good parks will book out quickly so back to square 1 unfortunately.

as if people stay in shepparton to go see the melbourne cup 188kms away

and melbourne cup is the firt tues in november

AAMI Derby Day is 29th october but again i doubt people would stay @ shepparton to go there

While I won't be attending, I can recommend to ya'll to spend an extra day (maybe two) and head east along to Bright or Myrtleford. The Great Alpine Road runs from Wangaratta up to Mt Hotham along the ovens river, and connects to Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Buffalo and Mt Beauty, all excellent roads with some of the greatest scenery this country has to offer.

You won't regret it.

-D

Country Comfort looks good guys........which actual nights are we staying though....and is it 2 or 3 nights?

EDIT: Just saw Dion's post

Event SummaryFri 28th - Arrival into Shepparton during the Day/Night <- Arrival into Shepparton.....

Sat 29th Day - Track day @ Winton Raceway

Sat 29th Evening - Finger food/group function & Track Day Trophies

Sun 30th - Show'n'Shine @ Shepparton Showgrounds. Trophies for S'n'S in the afternoon.

Mon 31st - Depart and head home from one awesome weekend!

So looks like 3 nights.....arriving 28th and departing 31st

would be different with cabins Steve cause you'd get a bunch of them that fit up to 6 people.....most rooms (other than the 1 family Room) will only accommodate 2 or 3.

As long as peeps know where the majority are staying, they are then responsible for the booking and money side of things :/

    • 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).
