I'm happy to stop for a bite to eat at some point, but i don't think it needs to be an hour :P

Eat and go... no mucking around

Thing is those 'quick' stops always seem to take forever... some clown want's to chase some lizard through the bush or some dumb crap like that. Each to their own.

See how it goes on the day. We all know where we are going.... I can see there being two groups by the end of it... the 'get there' group and the group that will stop 5 times.

Yeah agreed. I hate stopping on the highway... you lose position :P Don't like overtaking the same cars again :D

Def not 5 stops, but once between Canb and Shepp would be good.

Sad news about the cafe at tarcutta it's closed :/.The food at the garage there is pretty ordinary,a few ks down on the right side is a big cafe,think it's called morrisons,reckon they have the best coffee. :D

I could have told you that, it's been closed for a while!

Yeah sad panda on hearing Tarcutta burgers have winked out of existence, was looking forward to some lush gourmet shit halfway down. packed lunch it is then!

know what you mean about overtaking same cars, the number of times i have flown down the freeway past everyone, stopped to get petrol then had to meekly pass the same people all over again, cant help feeling a bit 3 steps forward two steps back.

LOL at esky in the car, no way i could do that. would be far too tempting to raid it myself..

Are you all insane?

You get to Shepp ASAP on the day, and the only stop thats needed, other than minimal petrol stops is for THE DRIVE THROUGH BOTTLE SHOP 1KM FROM THE MOTEL!!!!!!!!! Check in early as can be, get the booze in the fridge, board shorts on, get in the pool with booze - FKN WIN!!!! Then, when you're sick of that, you go up the street towards Taco Baz's and then RIDE THE COWS!!!!!!!!!

Geeeeez!

    • 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).
