Anyone know how I can get in contact with the SAU Secretary? Need to get a confirmation of my membership for a track day tomorrow but it's hard getting an e-mail replied to...

Hope your track day is a great one :)

so i buy one of these USB to DB25 parallel cables: https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-to-parallel-bi-directional-cable/p/XC4847

plug it in, under Device Manager its listed in USB controllers: USB Printer Support. The software I'm using needs it to be a LPT port.

The internet has some solutions for people using old software with new printers, so ive followed them:

Create new printer. Assign it to USB Printer Support. Right click on it and go to Printer Properties. Select LPT1 port. I try to send file with software, software says did not send.

I tried enabling Print Pooling and selecting both LPT1 and the USB Printer Support port. Still does not send.

Then tried creating another printer and assigning it to Virtual USB port001, in printer properties, select LPT1 port. Files does not send.

Any IT folk have any suggestions? the software just sends a basic text file, its not going to a printer.

Oh chatted to a EPA guy on the weekend.

asked about the car testing currently.

 

Didn't answer the question, but did say he uses the building where they test as his car park everyday.....

Why the secrecy does he believe he is in a role that is top secret like Area 51?

 

Is he implying that the testing is active hence there everyday? Or that his team has taken over the area and they no longer test? :/

If he was implying it was business as usual then there wouldn't need to be so coy... sounds like the intake of cars is slowing down?

Someone drive past the moorabbin workshop & have a look at the number of cars outside?

never going to openly admit that they are not testing cars.

These aren't RWC safety items right? or Wrong? :/

Yeah really small (3 of us total) and basically lost a couple of big ish customers over Christmas / New Year due to them down sizing or cutting cost, selling business etc. 

So back on the job hunt, got a few good leads already which is awesome.

Paid out but not much (only here for about a year)

    • 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).
