Here's a rough map. Not set in stone. Departure/meet points not shown except Springwood which seems the usual Brisbane Sth side meet up.

Need someone to nominate somewhere on Gold Coast, preferably on the south bound side of motorway, to meet. Then we can decide on times.

Cheers, Leon.

Map?

Umm, that link works for me. I even changed IP address & computer & clicked the link. Still works.

Try this (in full): http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=204827697789425650374.0004b68fdddc226e15477

Anyone who can't see it let me know & I'll see what else I can do.

My Stags really rough ATM & getting full kit & respray in the next few months but I've got my new front tyres yesterday so I'm good to go :)

Will be good to have you along John.

Found a place near Natural Bridge that could be a nice stop for lunch. Two Pines Cafe, 3175 Nerang-Murwillumbah Road. Spoke with them & they have the standard cafe food (pies, burgers -from $8.50, steak sandwiches 'bout $15, full meals as well) so won't break the bank & hopefully suits most people. Still open to suggestions tho'.

According to Google maps street view, they have easy access parking for 10 cars. They told me they would open up the block next door (weather permitting) if we needed more room.

Ok everyone, the cruise is tomorrow. No one has suggested departure times, so I'll take a stab at it.

Springwood: (McDonalds car park) 9:30 for 10am departure

Elanora: (Salk Oval car park - near The Pines Shopping centre) 10:30 for 11am departure

Anywhere else along the way, please organise amongst yourselves. I'll be at Elanora as I'm coming up from the south. I think I'll do the Tomewin road on the way there to refresh my memory.

If the travelling times I've suggested are unrealistic, someone please let me/us know & offer an alternative.

We will also stop at either (or some/all) Murwillumbah, Crystal Ck, Chillingham for a coffee, chat, toilet break etc, then on to lunch near Natural Bridge. We should easily get there by 12:30 depending on how often/long we stop.

Today I picked up 2 GoPro cameras & have 1 pointing front & back.

They are set up for full 1080P (HD & widescreen) & I'll try to mix up my road position to get good footage of every car.

So here's a small incentive to show up: I will burn the video to a DVD & post a copy to every car owner/driver on the cruise!

Of course no tunnel footage will be allowed, lol.

It should be a good cruise, hope to see heaps of people there.

Cheers, Leon.

Sorry, I was having too much fun to take any pics. I have good video of some of the roads we drove. Will edit a small clip or 2 & post sometime.

So sollly. Missed this one. Just too much going on in the Art Gallery ATM. Now the Hols are over I have more time. So I will be back at the Stagea coal face for a few weeks.

    • 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).
