I'll be there a bit early to get the fire going :-) - as anyone who went last time knows, I like fires.... (any comment muck?:))

So if you see a bayside blue series 2 you'll know you're in the right place. Mind you, if it is pissing down with rain, or 40C I won't be coming.. :-(

hahahaha... its a no go zone.. when ians setting up his fire....

hah... i was planning to see you tomorrow ian... hah.. but it could be a bit hot for you!! i want to laugh at your dodgy programming again!

Not to hot for me, I like the heat! And the house will be at 22.5C regardless of the outdoor temperature anyway...

Yep, I may have already found out what the problem was, but do need a sereis 1 stagea to test it on (works fine on my series 2). For those who weren't at the last melbourne get together - I brought my laptop along and tried it on all the cars. We had problems downloading the entire ROM with the series 1 stagea - my program was getting errors (as were other peoples program ie datascan was just hanging (as it does on about half the cars I try it on)).

I think I've figured out what it was, and we are now getting rom downloads out of cars that nobody has ever been able to download from before... :-)

I'll bring it along in two weeks as well - people can take it for a drive around the block and when they come back we can watch what they did without having to be in the car with them in the first place.... :-)

The problem was that we were scattered all around the different car parks (the park was packed with some big event). So not sure if anyone took pics..

And there was all that spare parking space at the SAU BBQ on the same day!?!

You guys are on here - why the fragmentation on the streets??

OK I know its spelt STAGEA not Skyline, - BUT??

I only ask cause it looks like Turbine (son) is gonna get one and I dont want to have to be trying to cover multiple meets on the same day.

sauvic bbq was for existing and renewing members only (sorta like a "thanks for the support" thing). I don't think any of the melb stagea owners are SAU VIC members, so they couldn't have checked the members section where the BBQ was announced a month ago. I think Alex was the only one who had access, but I think he found out about it a little too late.

seeing as craig whipped skyline arse in his N/A Hyundai Lantra Wagon last time, and there's a few liberty wagons attending this time... you guys should come to the DECA motorkhana day.

    • 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).
