Entered! Woot! I'm heading up Saturday morning from Glen Waverley if anyone wants to get a motorcade going.

Also anyone know who to contact about getting put in a group with a mate who's also coming up?

Shoot an email off to [email protected] with your names and we'll make sure you're in the same group :)

Also, bring more friends, the more the merrier! You just need to convince them that they can have an absolute ball even in a stock Yaris if they want, with nearly no chance of damaging it.

I had a blast today. Thank you to the SAU crew for organizing such a good event.

Cheers

Joe

Told you we would adopt you :)

Glad you had fun! Looked awesome out there & beat a few of the fast cars ;)

With the weekend now over after an awesome time up in Shepparton the people behind the DECA event deserve a big thank you. It takes a lot to put on an event like this and the DECA crew of Bec, Ryan, Leon and others once again showed us how much fun can be had while eating some tires :P So thanks guys for a great weekend up at DECA :)

Also a big thanks to the volunteers on the day, these events would not be possible without the awesomeness of you guys.

Thanks again guys. Was a fantastic event as always. I've got my car vids from the day up, in case anyone is interested. My Go Pro conveniently died before the knockout where the Mazda2 beat me ;)

    • 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).
