Ok so how about wakefield. For $80 (+$30 for those without a licence) we can take our pick of the the following dates:

- Thu 20th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Fri 28th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Tue 4th March, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

OR my pick :

- Sat 8th March, No Speed Limit Day - Street Cars Only,

The saturday for those of us that work, plus it gives us time to organise, and for me to install my new goodies.

Super DDDDDOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!! I have to break something now!!!! *bashes head against pillow*

I'll still be more than happy to bring some bread.

Cruise to kangaroo valley? Kiama? How about north? Don't know north too well and would be great to wonder up that way into "enemy" territory :starwars:

Well Guys I'm on now... sorry for the late notice but as Dino has said, this event has been cancelled... and apparently all the moto concepts days at oran park have been cancelled... this leaves them with only one full car day at eastern creek and that is towards the end of the year... november I think tracy said.

I am leaning towards meting at oran park anyway and giving back deposits... then cruising anywhere.

my thoughts were Bells and beach... then I thought bells beach but changed my mind as too far to travel!!!

maybe lunch in Richmond?

If you guys are happy I'll organise a alternative cruise event for the 16th and we can all run with that... let me know.

Sorry,

Dan.

Dan,

No need to apologise - not your fault.....

Let's do a crazy kick arse cruze & BBQ instead......

Maybe the first official SAU NSW club event ?? Dino ??

Yeah guys, I think that a cruise BBQ are a definate goer. Post up your ideas.

I have 2:

1. Meet at Oran park around 10 for a 11am departure. Head across to Richmond for a bite to eat at a nice pub I know of (or we could go to the pool and use their BBQ facilities and swim) and then we have options: 1 putty road. 2 Bells Line of Road. 3 Springwood road (this one doesn't take long though, and gets pretty boring after 10 mins... but if hill climb is your thing then this is the place to be!)

2. Meet Oran park around 8:30 for a 9am departure and head to the beach... set up BBQ and eat sandy bangers over a game of beach cricket/soccer/volley ball.

let me know what you think... but either way I want to meet somewhere and get these deposits back to everyone.

if you want to see about Wakefield then go here

If you want to follow what is happening with moto concepts then go here

Just remember we only have 8 days to get this thing planned... so if no ideas by Wednesday morning I'll talk it over with the missus and make a decision.

Talk to you all soon,

Dan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No fair! That sux0rs..

However, must say thanks to dan for organising it and collecting deposits and what not. You put alot of work into it and its a shame it got canceled like this.

Would love to get out on another track at some stage.. Keep us posted.

Hmmm looks like the info on the Motoconcepts calendar is waaaay out of date. They are showing numerous Drive Days at Eastern Creek. :P

How about a cruise to Bobbin Head or Appletree Bay? It is in the National Park (will cost $10/car to enter...) but we can book a picnic spot and there are BBQ facilities. From memory there's enough room to park etc.

Suggested route:

Homebush 6C -> Old Northen Road -> Galston Gorge or Berowra Waters Ferry -> Pacific Highway -> Bobbin Head Road

Another suggestion is to follow the route above with some deviations around the Dural area and end up at Berowra Waters Ferry for a BBQ.

We can have a meeting point somewhere along the route like at Windsor Road and Old Northern Road (basically somewhere there is a big carpark). Someone with local knowledge would know better than I.

:mad:

i realised i had the wrong dyno day

me bad

there is one this saturday 15th at girraween(silvia NSW)

then there is one on sunday at silverwater (performanceforums)

just change your big day out to sat at girraween and then cruise on around then

    • 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).
