Yes, its doing nothing, but gathering dust and rust.

Cant find my camera cord to show you, but it is the one you gave me.

I wasnt using it, or planning to, so i dont need a replacement.

Ill drop it off, good excuse for a drive.

Went out to the cotter and Brindabella rd the other day, nice drive.

I wonder if roads are bumpier than they used to be or if its just me. Because i find going fast is not good at all, but 20 years ago i could go WAY faster and not feel like im about to be thrown off the road.

And i dont think its my car as ive had far worse shtboxes going faster than the Skyline.

Ps..... dropped it off. ;) I forgot which one, but the blonde told me. :yes:

Went for a drive, my car is fun to drive now.

Saw a bunch of guys on minibikes cruising down Belconnen way. I noticed they were all very nice looking bikes, ( original Honda's ) and the riders had good riding gear they obviously use for their big bikes. The cop in the paddy wagon didnt notice or know about real legit minibikes, because as soon as he saw them he put the siren on and went after them.

They would all be registered etc, these things are a rarity and im very surprised to see such a large group.

Awesome little things, it easy to see why they have cult status:

Has anyone checked out Power Kart Raceway in Fyshwick yet? Pretty cool place and the karts are pretty quick.

Anyway they're planning on running a racing league fortnightly Wednesdays starting 15th of October.

Anyone who might be interested they have some details on a Facebook event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1467986283466197/

I'm planning on running it. Trying to get word out :)

I was blown away by the size of some things. Huge jars of Jam etc and Marshmallows that would Fill a Coffee Cup.

The Bulk buy factor is the main issue as the initial cost is a bit off putting but in the grand scheme it seems economical. (aside from the $60 yearly fee)

eg. Twin pack of Mocconna 400g jars of Coffee for $35 work out cheaper than when on special at Woolies individually but it's alot straight up.

Walking round snacking on Demo foods is cool though and a Hotdog and refillable drink for $1.99 is a Bargain. :D

Not likely to signup anytime soon though. (we went with friends who are already members)

The sweets section is pretty full on, and it is nice to have a 2 month supply of toilet paper, if you have the storage space.

There are some good things like the terry towels and microfibre cloth in the auto section. Good for detailing, theres always a clean rag handy.

But for me, not having to go shopping as often is the best part.

    • 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).
