Another magnificent retort from you John, what a surprise kekekegay.gif

As for my "Dont like it, sell your car" comment, its true.

There is not a damn thing any of us can do about the rising prices, hell I have avery petrol hungry car as do you and most of us on this forum but there is little use in bitching about it, its not going to change anything, and while paying through the nose for fuel at the moment is a killer on the wallet, we dont have a choice :D

Makes me glad I havent driven my car much in the last few months

yep, that was my point if you really don't paying it like it find other ways to travel. i catch the train to work every day. I drive my car when i feel like it. my car gets about 20 litres per hundred k's. which is pretty poor, but it makes me smile everytime i get in it and even more so at 8250rpm on the limiter. :D like i said on page one it's worth every cent. yes petrol could be cheaper, but it could be a damn sight more expensive too. I say suck it up and enjoy your car while you still can affordably. life is too short.

What I find annoying is that ordinary unleaded costs $1.26.6 at the Shell terminal gate right now and Optimax costs $130.15 and yet at the bowser Optimax cost 8-10 cents a litre more than regular unleaded.

I guess they don't sell as much of it so in order to maintain GP they hike the price up - Costs the same to ship and have big tank full of it at the Servo, but if they don't move as much they may as well sell more volume of the fast moving stuff and make more $$. This would mean no Premium.

I'd do the same if I owned a Servo.

ANyone checked the price of petrol in Europe lately - We have it lucky !

I think the reason premium difference is more expensive at the actual servo is because it doesnt sell as much per quantity, as only us turbo freaks really buy it.

We are lucky petrol is not as expensive as in europe/britian. Although their public transport systems are far superior to ours.

European cars come with smaller capacity engines and a large % are diesel. I saw a 5th gear episode the other day and compared a new Golf GTI v's new Golf GTI TD. The TD worked out cheaper if you drove a minimum of 100000 miles. :huh:

Because of these petrol prices the public transport system will come under more stress and the government will have to increase services and increase fairs. Its a nice circle.

Another end result of these petrol prices will be an increase in the amount of cars being sold. Prices will drop even futher. Great if your buying but not if your selling :blink:

I agree and I disagree. I agree because like you I don't normally drive my car daily for a number of reasons (security, cost, its general habit of breaking, and the hassle of every dick annoying you) but when I do it give me a real kick and I don't mind paying for that. But that is a convenience I enjoy because I have a reasonable well off family with excess cars, inner city housing, and enough disposable income to waste it on toys like GT-Rs.

On the other hand, its the families who live out woop woop with poor access to public transport (as opposed to access to the poor public transport like us inner city folks :P) why rely on their cars and don't have much disposable income at the best of times.

Regardless, I don't agree with the whole "cut the tax" argument that seems so popular for various reasons I could bang on about if so provoked :blink:

i couldnt see the governments letting first class countries like aus/america/europe/japan etc running out of power, they would always have a back up plan, if australia was running out of oil we would do something about it.. ie running out of water in syd building a water refinery to replenish supplies, if worst came to worst, they would start using nuclear power or something

I have officially just given my car it's first tank of Regular Unleaded. It doesn't need 98 Octane, and I'm not paying $1.49 for it just because.

Non-performance cars = teh win! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
