ill try and make it... if the car is back on the road by then, does anyone have a set of stock rims with rubber that i might be able to use for the cruise, i wont be a hoon and do burnout and stuff. just i gota buy new rims that are 1900 and dont have the money right now.

I can't be 100% but if my car is out of the shop and in a drivable condition (ie it could be out of rego and not yet engineered) I will be in.

Haven't had a chance to cruise with any SAUers yet :(

Just out of interest considering I don't live near Thornleigh will there be a sub-cruise coming from Sydney or Northern Beaches to the Thornleigh meeting spot I could tag along with?

give me a ride in the passenger seat pleeeaassseee - that way i can tag along with you from beaches > thornleigh - hehehe :)

wouldnt mind seeing how the ceffy goes either! oh, and i'll put in for fuel moneyyyyyy!

Ive never seen cops on that stretch before. Sometimes there is the Wisemans local cop cruising around the picninc area in his Land Cruiser but not on Old Northern. Not that i m saying we should be flooring it all the way there, just saying that people shouldn't worry about speed cameras, rbts and other random nuisances from the blues boys.

we're not staying on old northern... we'll be going through galston gorge to old northern... then jumping onto cattai ridge road... around past riverside oaks, then back onto old northern... just for more bends and a longer cruise... (i quite like cattai ridge rd! :) ).. so yeah.... i'll try and make a map to hand out to peeps so noone gets lost! :P

nope!!  its not a race...

Mona, everytime you drive, it's a race :)

Your car's accelerator pedal is a binary device. It's either "ON" or "FULLY SIK ON" :burnout:

Wow, a 3 hour cruise (one way)! I'd hope its a good drive at least D:

Re: the ferry, how many cars does it hold? It would suck to have to wait on the bank for the duration of one trip before ferry comes back for the rest of us D:

BTW, Ive never been there before so I have no clue what to expect :)

    • 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).
