Went for a drive today (Sunday 25th July) up through Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious and Somerset dam to Kilkoy and back through Mt Mee.

DAMN it seemed like every second car on the road was a Skyline.

Hopefully some of the people I gave waves to were from here.

Now that little trip would be a good daytime cruise. A couple of hundred km's of nice driving roads. And yes you can have fun on them without donning a Kamikaze headband and punting your pride and joy off a cliff/bank/into a ditch etc.

Perhaps I should post an EOI thread on a cruise round that route...

I thought we were all banned from posting official cruises up there on this site forever.  Correct me if I'm wrong. anyone.  

"incidents" hey warwick.  Only 4 more sleeps.

I think general cruises are OK, but mountain runs are a no no...

lol...shhhh...I'm trying to forget :D

Yeah, I did mean cruise, not run. You know, daylight, legal speeds, bring your better half kind of thing.

Nothing wrong with the road if driven sensibly (no offence meant to the "spirited drivers" who we "don't talk about").

Just a thought.

On another note I did like the signs. You know the f***off big red ones that have a picture of a motorbike on them and say "CRASH ZONE AHEAD" and "SPEED CAUSES ACCIDENTS ON THIS ROAD"

Damn motorcyclists... Oh hang on, I'm one of them too!

D'oh.

I was up there Sun afternoon and hardly saw another car. Was a great run. As for getting worried about any "recent" event up there, nothing changes. I know someone who services the mountain and they pull someone out of a ditch at least once every weekend. The mortality rate is high there.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
