my only input is(and i know i am generalising buts its true for me) that in recent months i can say that the only standout group of wankers on the road drive ford territorys!!!

i think the whole sports 4wd thing has gotten to their heads and they have something to prove!

so i guess u will be one of them soon :D

top gear tested them against eachother, and 1 other car as well i think....the focus has the power over it, but i think maybe lacked the handling....still competes with the rexy though...which would more than likely see it shit on the astra or whatever...

lol @ siksII... The other half will be driving it 99% of the time.

Give it a few tweaks, and it should be sitting side by side with you while I tow the boat.. lol :P

Even the Focus XR5 (5cylinder 2.5ltr turbo) appears to be quite a good thing.. Just a pitty its fwd only. :D

I think ford has realised people love performance.. Not slow lazy AU's. :D

The engine for that focus is from Volvo

I trhink it's a good thing that Ford have released a turbo version of the Territory. It'd be interesting to see Ford Performance Vehicles do their own version of it too, but I think that's probably not going to happen.

What I do think wound be a good idea though would be a turbo variant of the Fairmont Ghia.....

I would much prefer an AWD turbo forrester than an AWD turbo territry. Grab the MRT powerup kit for the forrester and I won't be able to knock the stupid grin off my face ;). Although some of the 400kw upgrades for the XR6 turbo might make the territry, err... interesting to drive! :P

And I would much prefer a RWD XR6 turbo over a RWD Territry turbo.

Nizpro have already been to work on the Turbo Territory.

I am unable to remember the reliable power its putting out but 0-100km/h in 3.7 or 3.8secs and 11.7 1/4 all day every day on street tyres. :rolleyes:

They have slapped the GT stripes down the lower doors, lowered slightly on 20" wheels.

Now thats a family wagon. ;)

The issue with the Forrester is its lack of towing capacity and we NEED 7 seats.

If you have a decent boat you are better off with a Commodore or Falcon. :P

All comes down to needs, when it comes to towing and seating the Territory scrapes in... Just...

I also like the 100series V8 Landcruisers, if any one has driven an auto 5speed they are very nice and rather quick. As quick as my inlaws VN Commodore to be precise.

Some how Toyota have made the big old landcruiser rather fun and responsive to drive. :P

Must admit the engine bay looks rather boaring... Prefer the look of the old RB. :rolleyes:

      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).
