Three cheers to the Sam and whoever helped him.

no worries, will. should be a great day. Duc, helped with the route & Darren helped with the 'southern meet group' and some further roads. also you organised the food afterwards. :)

yes i did. no one is perfect, at night it was fine. during the day with a different car as a cruiser + the speed i was going didnt help. does that mean you aint come?  :) 

your gtr still in rwd mode?

Just giving you $h1+ Duc. :)

No offense intended. Sure I'll be there. Yeah the GTR is still in rwd. Tried to get the auto electrician who worked on it before out this week but he's on holidays. Have been trying to get the white GTR ready for sale - it failed its first trip to Regency.

For those who didnt make it, here is a rundown of the cruise.

The 2 groups met up at Ingle farm and headed off. The roads were a bit wet so the pace was quite moderate. On the way down the George we passed a Cop Bike, who promptly did a U turn and sat in behind the 2nd car. He followed us all the way through to Loberthal (How many other clubs get a police escort) at 60 km/hr

When we got out he mentioned he heard some wheel spin and that a cars wheels had crossed a double white line. He let us go without any problems (no "let me see under the bonnet" etc) I guess a group of imports going down the George is usually an indication someone will be speeding or doing something silly, so I guess I cant blame him for following us. It ended up beeing a waste of his time.

After the regroup we headed off to Mt Lofty Summit for a chat. The weater started to turn bad and people went on their own way from there.

It was good to put faces to the names on here. See you on the next cruise, hopefully the weather is a bit better and the roads more challenging.

Yeah the weather turned a bit dismal in the end, I was hoping it would have been nice and sunny like the rest of the week. I only got about 12 Pictures compare to about 50 I got on the last cruise.

The police escort was a bit rare, wonder if he enjoyed the cruise? He didn’t seem too concerned though, just checked our licences and that was about it.

Other than that it was good to catch up with everyone and meet some new people.

Looking forward to the next cruise, hopefully with better weather. Ill post pics sometime during the week.

Cheers,

Sam

My sincerest apologies for not making it out. I didn't get my car back in time (getting alarm installed by Alan at Powerplay Autosound & Security).

I was feeling a bit seedy after the engagement party last night as well :(

I'll try and make it out to the next cruise, it'd be good to meet up with some fellow Skyline enthusiasts!

Cheers,

Alan

yeh pitty about the weather and that man in Leathers, but all is good, finnaly got to put some faces and cars with names, nice to meet you all. Summers comeing boys and girls, might have to run that Victor cruise you boys were talking about.

Ghosty, yeh i'll take it, but will have to next weekend, if that is all good! If it goes by then.......thats cool i'll take the next one, cheers fella.

cheers people

Darren

My apologies also; just had way too many things to do around the house before I have my 7th right-knee surgery this wednesday.

Apologies to you all, would have loved to show of my silky white pearl Stagea RB25det wagon, but hopefully I will be right to drive again in 6weeks time (I hope!!, see how this knee pulls up).

    • 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).
