Bathurst (Mt. Panorama) Via Jenolan Caves Supa Cruise- Sun, Nov 20Th!


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, i am organising a cruise that has some terrific scenery and fantastic roads, i have done this drive a couple of times & absolutely loved it out to the famous Mt. Panorama... hope to see you there, the details are as follows:

DATE: Sunday, Nov 20th

TIME: From 9:30AM

MEET WHERE: Penrith KK's Carpark (between Outback Steak House & KK's, behind Macca's near Penrith Panthers) on Molgoa Rd.

LEAVING: 10:30AM SHARP

DESTINATION:

1. Oberon

2. Mt. Panorama

Our first stop will be Caltex @ Mt. Victoria, for anyone who needs fuel. The next stop, via Jenolan Caves, is at Oberon for a 35minute fuel & lunch break... we'll then head to our final destination which is the BIG park up the top of Mt. Panorama, we can organise from there to do afew laps of mt Panorama, we can organise from there to do afew laps of mt Panorama- within reason- but please be mindful to do the speed limit as the Police presence on the track is quite strong and they are not very lenient... they hide all the time around the track!

Cruise Route:

1. Right onto Molgoa Rd.

2. Right onto the M4/Great Western Highway onto and following through the Blue Mountains

3. Once you go down the other side of the Blue Mountains @ Mt. Victoria, the first speed cameras you see... take the 1st LEFT afterward and you follow that road (Sign for Oberon), it will lead you to Jenolan Caves.

4. The rest is hard to explain, you'll need to keep up...

I know how you feel, still havn't got mine back yet, been nearly a month.

I should have a spare seat in the back if i get it all back and together this week....

You'll just have to meet me at the meet point.

1st stop is Caltex @ Mt. Vicotria to fuel up for anyone who needs to. We will only be driving through Jenolan Caves, and will be stopping to refuel and for lunch in Oberon. This is due to the price of Food @ Jenolan Caves, lack of parking and to eliminate anyone holding up the cruise with doing their own thing- if that makes sense.

I wasn't able to come along, but was at Panthers getting coffee from the Maccas about the meeting time, didn't see any cars :( anyone have some pics from the cruise they would like to post up?

Got afew photo's from yesterday, here's the link to the album: Mt. Panorama Cruise- Photo Album!!

Thanx to those of you who came out for the meet or the cruise itself, much appreciated :thumbsup:

    • 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).
