Tsunami Fundraiser Show'n'Shine Aftermath


Recommended Posts

lol same here, took shitloads of pics of the Impul R33R from QLD and then the camera ran out of juice.

will upload em when they're off the card anyways.

Heaps of people - great weather - good cause - majority were good hot cars.

Took a few pics but have left my camera transfer USB cord at work so will post up tomorrow.

Anyone heard about how the MASSIVE CRUSE went? It took at least 8-10 min for all cars to exit the car park approx. 50-60 cars or more? (correct me if I'm wrong) Hope all went well even though I don't think any SAU guys tagged along.

Yeah it was a great day.

Huge kudos to Pete (Base junky) for the effort he put in. Big thumbs up also to Gemma for spending almost the whole day at the entrance taking the money, plus everyone helping out with the bbq.

I may sounds like a toss here but I was really proud to be part of SAU yesterday. The fact that almost everyone was wearing their shirts and that basically it was SAU guys doing everything made the club look very professional.

Also - great to see that the SAU spirit was alive and well at the end of the day where most of us decided to go to the pub rather than on the cruise. Top work.

And also to keep up with tradition I got sunburnt again.

PUB??? I would have been in for that...didnt want to drve my car because of the gasket leak and the fact that i cant lock the dirvers door at the moment...but pub, well they have cabs for that:)

Woudl have been good to have a looksie, but lifting wet carprt and trying to fix the door were my priorities:(

Hey guys.

Had a great day, got sunburnt, raised some money.

Big thanks to the hard core hard working SAU guys who ran the BBQ for me without a hitch.

Extra thanks to XXXGTR who drove out to get drinks twice to help out.

MASSIVE thanks to my awesome girlfriend who worked at the entrance all day and had to put up with people who "I don't want to pay $10 to put my car in, so I'm just going to park over in the other bit and put my bonnet up anyway and stand by my car anyway" tightarse wankers.

We raised a total of $2101.75 for the Asia Tsunami Appeal and ended up with around 700 snags left over which will be frozen for use at an SAU BBQ shortly!

Thanks for everyone who participated in the event, poos to you who didn't!

Cheers

BASS OUT

thanks for the beer afterwards too SAU guys.

Great turnout by supporters.

Excellent work to the SAU crew who participated and helped out where they could.

As Snowey said, Pete and Gemma did awesome jobs all day. The BBQ went without a hitch with the Adz and James at the helm.

I also noticed that the BBQ was tended to by SAU peeps all day which goes to show the dedication of the SAU committee and members for a good cause.

So Pete, when's the BBQ at yr house mate?? :D

Sunburnt...again. Crazy thing is after all the events we've had this summer - WHY HAVEN'T WE LEARNT ANYTHING? :)

Good to see everyone in their shirts, bar me of course, still wearing an 04 Autosalon shirt. :D Fixed that up though thanks to James' car boot sale.

My photos were pretty disappointing when I got home - just what I needed after frying in the sun for a few hours! I'll clean up a few and give them to you Pete but no credit for those. That said, RiggaP has some fine photos there at the beginning of the post. Good work.

Really good day! I got a little burnt, and no I havn't learnt :( I was in the shade 95% of the day so I'm thinking the suns getting sneaky, hehe. Pete, awesome job with the organisation, can't belive how much work it all was! Was awesome to see all the SAU team out there willing to lend a hand for a good cause and nice to see so much support.

I took around 40 or so pics so will pop them in tommorrow to be developed, stupid film SLR's :(

is that all you guys think about... vortexes and getting sunburnt? lol

these are the only pics I have of the day unfortunately... wish I knew you guys were hangin around I'd have stuck around till dusk to grab some better pics of the cars.

    • 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).
