Well heres a few pics of my car completed! Still have some cosmetics to do like tint, new seats, put my cage back in etc but essentially all the body is done! I decided to stick with the factory Diamond Black - to keep it pimp - and easy to repaint bumpers hehe. Here is some shots straight off the gun. Its certainly come along way from being what it was straight from J back in late 2004.

I whacked on the Final Konnexion body kit with M Sports 25mm Fenders. I rolled the rear guards out about 14mm and I think Im going to space my 18x9.5s out about 15mm and put some camber in. The skirts sit about 2 inches lower than the chassis rails hence my ride height is a bit more than Id like. Ive spaced out 18x8.5s upfront by 20mm upfront too to firstly clear the coilovers but also to fill the guards. I had to raise the car up about 12mm at the front because my tyres started eating fibreglass... but now I dont scrape the front bar at all... a good compromise!

I have attached a preview but the rest are at http://www.sido-takushi.com/paintnpanel/finalk

It cost me $2200 for the fibreglass... all genuine parts... $3k for Panel Beating (you'd understand why if you saw the car... but my pic above can give you a hint) and $3.5k for the paint job. Im fairly happy with it... but it sure did cost alot!

Yo Jai!

That looks sik! Well done dude - the long haul is finally rewarding. Motor plans?

Who did you bring in the FK kit through? I have FK skirts/rear bar on my 32 but unfortunately have damaged one of the skirts and am trying to bring in another?

Cheers,

Lyndon

Thats really very very nice. Really not keen on big kits, but I think this is just so well done it looks good.

Ride hight is fine too. Awesome man. Well done.

Dark red leather interior would top it off hey :P

Very the fat... Good too see something other than uras. Who did you get the kit from? Might check what they have for laurels... as that seems a pretty good price :) Ride height looks ok.. You might start ripping of bits of glass if you go much lower

If ur still waiting for that Taxi click on my sig... They should be able to help ^_^

Um I got C-Red in WA to source it for me. www.c-red.com.au

I was told it was a genuine kit although it did take alot of man hours to make it fit up properly... so Im not sure... although I paid good money for it.

If it was a genuine then it should have had the final k stamp on the inside of the kit :(

Yeah all the body parts had the old school Final K logo stamped on fibreglass and layed under the top layer of glass... but it cost me $1k in labour to make it all fit... had to cut and tuck the bumpers as they were about 10mm too wide on each side!

      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).
