course you can, no point in having lots of cars if nobody can go see em!

I just would have thought they'd explain the spectator part a bit better. Website nor JDMST says anything about entry prices or whether its a closed off event or if anyone walking on the yarra can get a look see.

I like the idea though, Auto Salon with fresh air and a view + music + food should be awesome. Wonder if next year theyll get a bigger venue and start getting stalls for parts etc. like with ARC meets.

I remember reading somewhere that it's open to the public so anyone can come and have a look, entry is free for spectators i believe.

Also will it be a night time or day time event?

Daytime, from about 9am (i think) to 5pm finish

Entrant Fee goes towards organisation of the event, hiring the location, permits, advertising, keeps the bogans in "SOFRESH" plated VN Commodores away and stops people doing skids because the event organisers have all the details of the cars and their owners.

They'll be making a profit, which hopefully will all be put towards the next event and improve the scene with higher quality events :)

I'd guess that some of the entry fee is probably being used to bring some of the 'show' cars down from Sydney also. <br /><br />No doubt these guys are running it like a business and will aim to make a profit. From the little I know about events, its pretty rare they make money on the first time because there are always unexpected costs so maybe they have built a bit more fat into the entry cost than necessary. But I guess if you don't like that then you don't have to enter your car - you can still attend the show on foot for free. <br /><br />What I would like to see from the though, is some better communication - they're doing a great job of building the hype on social media, but as an entrant I've only received one email, requesting my payment and nothing else. Hopefully they will increase the flow of information closer to the date once things have fallen into place.<br /><br />On another note - I went down to the location on the weekend, so long as they don't jam the cars too close together, it should be an awesome lay out and lots of foot traffic.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
