Cya All....Goodbye....RedLineGTR


Recommended Posts

Well….think I’m going say “bye” to the forums, over the past couple of months I have been on the forums less and less…why?...just trying not to spend so much time on the computer :) work & study are the main reason and I have wasted too much time on the forums trying to contribute over the past couple of years with informative posts, photos of cruises etc & just trying to help new users etc. recently my account somehow got deleted/disappeared losing all my achieved messages, rating, threads, pm’s etc. Just starting up a new account is just a waste of time as all I had linked to my account is gone and it’s like your starting from scratch, after this long time as a contributing member.

In general I’m not happy with accounts going missing; not just mine other members in the Victoria section, as well as the whole Vic section somehow disappearing in the past and other events. The Victoria club which had been in the plans for ages had finally seen light after dragging on for months…close to a year, though it’s still getting organised etc, I don’t see it being so successful for the factor that most people I believe are just in it for them selves when suggesting ideas or options, not looking out for the paying members for the club. A lot of the committee members are committed to what they want to achieve but it is useless without the whole group being on the same wave length.

If you had the time to read my post & have met me before, I thank you for your time and the conversations had throughout all the cruises, meets, bbq’s.

Judge this post as you may, you may find it whiney and childish. But I don’t mind I’m just sick of putting effort into things that get erased easily, the negative attitude and selfish ways of some users.

Best of luck with the forums and the Victoria section.

See you on the forums in the future, if not then on the roads…

Thanks For Your Time. Cheers Rob

...we're back on the air!

I really need to check-in to "forum users anonymous"

*sigh* we are working on it Rob. If you wanna leave before you give us time to fix it, then so be it. I'm still trying to find your old user ID so that I can try to recover your old account.

As for the Vic club being organised... its been on the cards since 2002/2003 when me, dox and meggala thought it was worthwhile. Its been a long time coming and its finally falling into place, the guys in the comittee have put a lot of time and effort into it, and as we find more people who are willing to make that dedication and sacrifice of time we try to involve them as much as possible... eg the addition of bass junky, clarkey and scotsman into the organisational group.

The club is run by its members, and if there is a paying member who needs his opinion voiced, all they have to do is attend a monthly meeting and bring it up. We run a democratic club, not a dictatorship. If you don't want a certain committee member in the committee, then all you have to do is vote to throw them out.

One thing we don't need which dosen't help the club go forward is politics, bickering and cheap stabs... be proactive, and not reactive.

Take care Rob! you're a champ, dont let the forums get you down.. Everyone needs to take a break sometimes. btw, are you still gonna detail my car? :) we can go chaddy and perve on some hot euro chicks :) haha. See u around dude.

:D

    • 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).
