Just curious if theres any intention to be a putty road cruise again this year? Came along last year with Aurora and Shell and was awesome :rofl: (until we hit a wombat and destroyed a brand new HKS FMIC on the way home... :P)

From memory it was around this time last year it was held.

You could do it twice... or drive down and meet us, and cruise back to lunch, as most people usually go their own way after lunch...

But to answer your question... Yes we are going to be doing it again this year... Date is tentativly set for 17th September. (Saturday)

Nik you should bring your car this time...it's more fun being a driver than a passenger!  :)

I intend to, it was broken last year which is why I couldnt bring it. You going to come again Shell? Might try get a few of the other guys up from Canberra too.

i went down the putty at 4am one day, it was unreal....no farmers or trucks mosying along.... could see the headlights around the corners if someone was coming... and it was very very cold that morning... made for a very spirited and tyre shredding adventure.

d-d... monkeykplunk and i are thinking of doing a putty cruise in august sometime champ.

also anyone that doesnt know about the putty... get the new speed, it has a review in it. it also mentions the cops in singleton, they are shocking.

cheers

Putty road > take this at speed and it will certainly show you the benefits of an IRS, low profile and wide tyres.

Very windy (pronounced wyndy)... it's alot more than just that.

It does have a few nice long straight stretches as well.

I am even thinking an over night option... which you canberrians might be interested in! :P

Yep, was talking to Ewen (Aurora) about it the other day. I think our plan is head up on the Friday afternoon, stay at Windsor on Friday night (we did that last year), cruise Saturday and stay with you guys up the other end Saturday night, head back home on Sunday :P

yeah Nik I'll be going again most probably!

definately stay the night before again, I'll have to see about the night after...although it's such a long crap drive home after the cruise...hmm could be a good plan..

should i book you the stinky room again? haha

Excellent... yeah, if im driving ill definately be staying Saturday night, wasnt a big fan of the drive home straight after the cruise.

To be blunt, that room was fu**ed :D Haha (*stops whinging*) but yeah, staying there again should be sweet, was nice and close to the shops and not too far into the city so im all for it :P

    • 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).
