Hi MrVspec, if you don't auto clave the parts, am I correct in assuming that you don't do stressed stuff such as prop shafts?

Cheers

PS your parts look very well made... you NEED to get your website up again! :rofl:

PPS can you do an R32gtr with Z-tune style louvres down the middle?

no we dont do prop shafts, only do stuff that can be tested in house before the product is marketed.

yeah the website is taking a long time hey, been onto the boss about it. He tells me it'll be up soon, but yeah who knows maybe a month or two??

the 32gtr with z tune louvres is possible, but you have to make a plug, then the mould then the product this all costs money, and with carbon being hard to get at the moment parts are very very expensive... i am doing my bonnet at the moment for my GTR all custom with vents and stuff when i'm finished i'll post up some pics.....

Hi Noy, from what i remember you guys do vac bag ur lay-ups?? If this is the case, dunno if u do know or not but there is a new pre preg out that is resin impregnated from one side and dry on the other, Good to use if u do not have an autoclave. Just vac bag and chuck into an oven.. Resin system is a VTM type so cure temps can be anything from 60-110 degree C.

I saw a sample part made from it today and the finish was really good (mold did not have a gel coat). If u do not know about it then get onto the usual suspects...(Lavender/advanced comp). Could be usefull for the stuff that you guys make n would be shit loads easier to lay up as comapred to a wet lay up. cheers.

Hey SK, I rang around on Monday all around australia, and nobady has any pre made, I then rang around to get some made and everywhere in sydney is short on carbon. So i rang the guy on here custom carbon in brissy they are making me up a big panel of it give them a try on 07 38652014.

Gee i'm a bit late at replying but thanks for the plug...

Any updates on this setup yet?

Work is flatout mate bonnet is almost done, woking out placement for the duct, then start working on the airbox plug.. should be in the next few weeks... sorry for keeping ya hanging.. should look sweet though.

dont know if i'm gonna take it to jamboree yet ??? it will definately be done for brisbane auto salon.

I'm putting custom vents in the CF bonnet that duct straight to an enclosed airbox. no more hotair for me

Just a quick one on this:how are you getting around avoiding water ingestion(IE: what happens when it rains...)? If it's something you'd rather keep quiet design wise,then OK;maybe PM me for a 'general' idea?

    • 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).
