Thanks for the heads up Chris. Hope to see you at the meet, if not for the cruise.

Guys, just a reminder that the cruise is this coming Sunday (10:30am arrival).

81gSky is out and ChrisB is tentative but it would be good if the rest of you confirm whether you can make it or not.

Interfooler - If you haven't sent your car in for the respray, you are welcome to bring your 'battle scarred' V along...the cruise will take your mind of things and you might get some recommendations from the rest of the guys that turn up as to where to go for a good paint job.

Guys,

It was a good run today. Thanks for turning out and I hope all of you got home safely and avoided the wild weather.

Attached are some pics courtesy of Opal. (Btw, I still can't believe that random stranger/wierdo at St Kilda spent like 5 mins checking out the 370z and totally ignored the three V35s parked next to it!)

To all of those that couldn't attend, hope to see you at the next meet sometime in March, which will probably be a Great Ocean Road cruise. Before then. we may also have a meet and greet session at Garage Cafe in Carlton.

Stay tuned for further details.

Cheers.

Definitely great to meet a couple people on sunday especially with the suprise visit by Chris down in mornington.

Thanks for organising Keith.

Certainly very enjoyable.. and yes I still can't get over the guy talking to himself who was dressed weird, looking over her 370z lol mustve been her plates

Can't wait for the next one

Another great cruise meeting new people and their rides.

I got hit by the wind and rain on the way back to Geelong. The car looks like it drove thru an anti-car wash.

Keep the meets posted and will see you at the next one!

MISSED IT! I guess i should log in more often..pinch.gif. Would have jumped on board..oh well...NEXT TIME !

My water injection install is about 90% ....Should be all complete by next ride...fingers crossed!!

No worries! If you can make it this coming Thursday, pop over to the Garage Cafe in Carlton for a meet & greet session with the other V35s in Melbourne. We will be discussing the next cruise (sometime in early March)

Water injection install...sounds interesting...

    • 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).
