The SAU Putty Road cruise is on the 17th September (Saturday) this year, and I hope some of you slackers will come along this time :( Me, Ewen and Shell went up last year and it was awesome.

Basically the plan is, cruise up to Sydney (Windsor) Friday afternoon and stay at Windsor Friday night. Go on the cruise Saturday (the meeting point is about 5 minutes away from where we stay) and stay up in the wine region Saturday night with some of the SAU guys, and then head home Sunday.

For those that dont know Putty Road, it runs from Sydney to Singleton and is masses upon masses of winding roads through the middle of a rain forest... very fun :)

Staying in Windsor Friday night, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars etc only 2 minutes walk away, maccas just down the road etc.

Its an awesome weekend, and hopefully some of you can make it up. More details will be posted in the general events section soon, so this is just to gauge interest so far.

This is in less than a month, any more ideas on who is going? Myself, cassi, ewen, mark and shell are all definately going up. I provided the link for a hotel in this thread in Windsor, and the meeting point for the cruise is only 5 mins away in the morning.

At this stage we will probably leave around 3 - 4PM, and arrive by 7:30PM at the latest. Check into the hotel, then go and wine and dine at one of the many restaurants/cafes 2 minutes walk from the hotel.

It will be an awesome weekend, hopefully see some more of you up there :D

stay up in the wine region Saturday night with some of the SAU guys, and then head home Sunday.

what will be sleeping arrangements for saturday night? staying in another hotel or at other SAU members homes? (i just have bad habbits!!!)

what kind of arcade machine? Initial D? DDR?

It's a game(Super Real Darwin - Vertical shooter) that I spent way too much money on in my youthful days, and am also finishing off my MAME project.... I'd love to get a Initial D though

Sleeping arrangements for saturday night are whatever you make them as.

Me, mark, cassi and ewen are staying in Sydney city on saturday night. Our plan is head to Windsor on friday afternoon, cruise saturday and head back to Sydney saturday afternoon, party saturday night, head home sunday.

You can head straight home saturday if you want, can stay in hunter valley if you want, can stay in sydney if you want :D

    • 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).
