Well firstly I would like to give a BIG THANKS to Jack for giving me a lift on an awesome cruise, really appreciate it buddy, it was GREAT :rofl:

Another awesome job by Ash in organising the cruise.

And great to see a few new faces, as well as the regulars, keep it up!

Hopefully my car will be back on the scene in the next few weeks. Will not make it for the next cruise, but hopefully the one after that.

:Oops: Me?? never... :angel: hahaha.....

sorry couldnt help myself, no better way to exit :thumbsup:  

.

Yeah God help the streets of Altona when you get that manual box in that beast.

:burnout:

You were definitely ear marked as a future member of Team Wang as that exit showed all the attributes of someone who needs to spend some time on a race track! lol

Thanks for the compliments all. Only borrowed the camera from a mate to muck around with. Didn't really touch any of the settings. Love using SLRs :thumbsup:

With a bit more practice, I hope to get better at it. May have to spend more time with Greg and Joel :)

lol, and i reckon me and toby (S15) ended up with the rest of the dirt road, poor bastard did a big wash on the silvia b4 we left in the morning. good to see a certain red rexy take full advantage of the gravel tho... :D

awesome day, shame we had to head off early.

Yeah i washed mine in the morning as well, gonna have to wash it again this arvo!

A few photos i managed to snap - nothing special.

Hey Guys,

Was a great cruise. Sorry I had to turn back at yarra glen. The '9 sec echo' was so floaty around the twisties it wasnt funny. I just put new shocks in it, and found the old shocks (that were farked) to be much better :D oh well hope the GTR will be ready sometime this year. I calculated Ive only driven it for about 12minutes before it broke. Was a real :kick:

Farken GTR's

Dear All,

Thanks for a great cruise. Nice to meet some of the faces behind the forum usernames and see their AWESOME cars. Sorry I had to depart early but I had to be back in Ararat before the kangaroos come out. Hope to catch up with you all again.

Cheers,

Neil

    • 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).
