Time: 8:00pm

Place: Carindale Metropol

For those who don't know where the Metropol is, it's on the corner of Creek and Pine Mountain Rds, maps are here and here.

We will see how we go for time, and most likely leave for the coast about 8:30pm, and claim our little corner of BWCP when we get there :) Hopefully this week, it will be open! After which we can chat, take lots of pictures, do a few laps of cavill etc etc.

I highly recommend you get your hands on a UHF radio, as we will be using them to keep in touch :P For those of us who don't plan on doing much sleeping that night, we will most likely head back to brisbane and check out the usual haunts sometime around 12pm/1am, any excuse not to put our girls back in the garage.

If anyone wants to talk to me about this, PM me, grab me on MSN ([email protected]) or you can call/SMS me on 0403 830 571 (just keep in mind that I can't answer my phone while at work :D)

Ok, so I might as well make a dedicated thread about this, seeing as a few people have shown interest :) Basically I'd like to get together a group of fellow R34 owners (as well as anyone else who'd like to tag along :)) to have a meet & greet, then go for a cruise down the broadwater car park, and see how many beautiful R34s we can get in one place :D

Looking at the Metropol in Carindale as a meet spot for now (seeing as most people expressing interest seem to be southside), on the corner of creek rd & pine mountain. Most likely meet up around 8pm and hang out for a bit before heading on our way, there's maccas and I believe subway there for those who like to have their dinner around that time too :)

So if I could get you guys to post your interest, and of course, any suggestions if you feel there'd be a more suitable time/place for the meet, and hopefully we can iron out some details by next weekend :)

Definately would be willing to come along if I'm welcome. I have a 32 so be nice please.

I am a good source of information for anyone on the night and can help answer questions about mods or repairs if anyone should wish to do so.

Im not sure how to contact other R34 owners but I know there was a guy with a spoilerless R34 coupe (light greyish brown colour) on the Massive Skylines cruise, the green 4 door around Slacks Creek and a yellow one I saw at Autobarn Capalaba once. Also, in one of the other threads, theres a black sedan with chromies as well. If anyone knows them, try to get them to come along.

i'll cyas at broady...i have more than a few places that we could go down around gold coast area....and some half way to brisbane etc as well...it will be one of my last cruises before i lose my licence and sell my car so I want to make it memorable! Everyone come, not just 34 owners....if you dont want to go to bwcp as I know many of you hate it pm me and ill meet you on my way out to the alternate run after bwcp!!! ONE NOT TO BE MISSED EVERYONE BE THERE!

hope u dont mind firefrog but ive organised something to follow on from your thing at bwcp...as it im sure you'll notice on saturday it gets pretty boring there and after you do one lap of cavill your pretty much over it (because it takes about 1/2 an hour), so I have come up with a cruise for afterwards. I was going to organise something for this week anyway, you however beat me too it in a way with this r34 thing, so if you guys want to continue along with myself and the rest of the guys who come, it should make it even better. Cya saturday, Matt (33NIZ)

    • 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).
