johnnyr31, it wasn't me, my wish was that more early skylines had turned up. Everybody buys and lives with what they can afford according to their priorities. I own a Gts2.5t, sure I could afford something flashier, but then I'd have to give up something else in my life, a choice I'm not willing to make.

I actually thought your car was well turned out, and was glad to see it there. One day you may trade up, maybe keeping the r31 cos of the great times you had in it [we'll all have to trade up one day]. But I wouldn't trade up cos other ppl say blah blah about a certain aspect of it, they are small minded bigots who ought to have more sense.

Don't take their narrow views to heart, meet them head on and laugh about it, turn it around to your advantage.

See you at the next event, and I'll be the first to say gidday and shake the hand etc.

And as a lesson to us all--------------------see what a few cruel uninformed comments can do, I bet it took johnnyr31 real courage to say what he did on the forum, please do not divide the skyline comaraderie we have going, SAU is for all.

Whats next R32's ???????????? lets not be silly.........

OMG what a gorgeous day it is, not a cloud in the sky and all that is required is a towel, sunscreen, sunnies and a banana chair, a beer, and I am in heaven.....oh and the day off work would help!!!!

johnnyR31: I agree with trident, buggar the bigots, after all she's a skyline...so what does it matter what number follows the R anyway.

Aurora, great pics, cheers, and I reckon mid october sounds great for the next get together

oh havagreatweekend and dont forget the aeroguard!

I'll be "in" for almost anytime,'cept Wednesday 13th to Wednesday 20th...There's this l'il Italian fella riding at Phillip Island that I'm riding down to cheer on(I'd cheers for Mr Bayliss,too,but he's right off the pace this year...sob).So most other weekends are "game on" for me!

I'll be out hunting out new photo locations and lighting situations over the next few weeks;I might even post a few photos to see what y'all think!

to bad i had to leave early had to work, heard a few of u guys bag my car, but if i spent the money u guys had i prolly would to, was a good turnout got to know a few more people to, well organised cant wait till the next one

Hey Johnny-I'll echo Tridentt150v and SkylineGal's comments-don't let the goons get ya down!Personally,I would've liked to have seen more 31's AND 30's!Did you see that red two door featured in Zoom 'bout 6 months ago?What a weapon!Don't be worried 'bout what your ride is:as long as it's a 'Line,I sure as hell don't care!Even then,ANY well turned out car is good in my eyes!I know that sounds easy for me to say,but every car I've owned I've looked after and had pride in it!

Dont worry about people saying things bout your car, im a fan of your car, not just cos its a line, but the effort and time that youve put into it. As long as it makes you happy.

    • 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).
