mysfit snow trip 2003


Recommended Posts

I guess it all depends how quickly the club gets goin...I hope we could all get together heaps earlier...maybe even next year?

Realistically, we have 6 months left of this year to get the club organised, and we really should have a national meet every year...so our first one could be next year :wink:

Too ambitious?? :)

hell, I'm just enthusiastic :wink:

I'm enthusiastic too Shell. Let's get the club started first and we'll throw together a committee with a rep from each state. How about we shoot for April or May. A bit colder in April so a long trip would be bearable by our cars.

shell, one of the main reasons that i proposed new zealand is that we can all get together as a national body and i think that it would be cheaper than trying to get everyones car to targa, especially for accomodation when there aren't that many hotels in tassie anyway.

i think the commitment level should be shared, i.e we all fly to nz

if we go tassie, then melbourne guys will love it while those of us that have to drive from qld or perth may not come because of time constraints driving there and back, perth guys are going to find it hard enough either way but flying would certainly make life a bit easier for them even though they may have to pay a bit more for travel. once we get to nz we can always split the costs of hire cars etc and designated driver responsibilities

guys and lovely ladies, i have been communicatiing with zsky from tassie and i am afraid that it would be impractical for us to travel tassie

there is no shell optimax or bp ultimate any where in the state, you can buy PULP at $1.60 a litre but you have to buy it direct from the local subaru dealer, although i think that would be piss funny, 40 odd skylines lined up in the scooby shop

so in my opinion, we should attack the kiwis instead, i am however, open to suggestion

believe me when i say that, birty's ass is not an experience any of you need to be exposed to(no pun intended) shell will back me up on this [/quote:1e8dd91775]

Well I dunno, Birty's ass was kinda cute :)

but in my sleep deprieved state, i could have been imagining it :roll:

meant to take a pic the second time (YES folks, he did it twice) but....unfortunately I have no photo evidence :x

um anyway, back on topic...I was thinking Rod, I'll be keen on the NZ thing, whether it was ski season or not....we would have heaps of fun either way. Where abouts are the ski fields?

here is a NZ map for anyone that might like a look:

hi shell, if you have a look at my original post there is a link to one of the deals that harvey world travel has to queenstown, which is reputed to be the best skiing in the southern hemisphere.

mind you, i guess we dont have to go in ski season but as i said before there are at least a few people on here who have never even seen snow.

Snow is that white stuff right ? I can just see it now, boarding down the side of a slope, everyone tuning for max performance, birty mooning the mountain side and landing flat on his ass resulting in frozen buttocks ...... Lets do it !!! and of course Shell, we'll need all the champa's we can muster to keep warm :!:

lol :lol:

goon is the best drink ever, however in the morning you dont feel so well

you can have heaps of fun with it too. you can:

1) play the good game-see how long you can scull it while lying on the floor

2) play good of fortune- attached to a clothes line spin it around and who ever the goon lands next to has to drink some, or

3) after a big night out use the goon bag as a pillow

Goon=Good

    • 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).
