For all the people wanting to buy these pistons be careful!!!

I wanted to buy these last week. I got his number during the week and organized a friend that lives in Melbourne to check them out since I live in Sydney. They met up on Friday afternoon. My friend said they were ok but there was little or excessive movement where it connects to the gudgeon pins.

Later that night I called him and said I wanted to buy them. I told him my grandparents were there for the commonwealth games so they could pick it up and forget about postage. He said yeh no worries I’ll go down to $600 and I’ll go drive to meet them half way. Just tell me where they are and call me back.

I call my aunty where my grandparents are staying and she said yeh I’ll pay for them just pay me back. While she was on the house phone I called him on my mobile to confirm a meeting spot. Then he says he feels uncomfortable with the deal??? WTF says meeting a 3rd party is unnecessary and only wants to deal with me personally. I said I’ll go back to $650 and told him they’ll go meet him, like I originally planned instead of him driving around. Says he felt uncomfortable meeting GRANDPARENTS. Hahaha Also says how do I even know they will have money??? Are you the only person in the dam country that makes money??? Says he can’t trust me coz he doesn’t know me, then says he’ll just post it. Jus transfer the money into his account and It’ll just be posted??? He doesn’t trust me give the pistons to my relatives who will hand over cash, but he wants me to transfer $650 plus postage into his account??? Yeh right!!! He backs out of the deal. So we end the conversation and my aunty says don’t worry about it he’s a dodgy kient.

He calls up after 10 minutes and says hey deals back on. I say what makes me think that you wont do something dodgy and drop them before you hand them over to my relatives? He says I won’t but what if I send them and you drop them on purpose and put them into your block and it blows??? WTF??? As if id do that you idiot??? What sane person would? Then I ask why he’s selling the pistons and it was a different reason to what’s on this thread and what he told my friend who checked them out. This guys is a f@cken liar!!! His f@cken breath stinks from all the bs he talks.

Any buyers beware of this dodgy bastage!!! Some of the gudgeon pins have seized and some have excessive clearances. Also they very well have been damaged when he (spun the bearings). Why would you buy new forgies when you have some perfectly fine ones??? Hmmmm sounds like someone that needs to be b!tch slapped!!! Haha

Well I hope no one buys these because I would hate for them to blow their motor because of these pistons.

This is very inappropriate but I’ll add it anyways because it kind of applys in this case:

If there was a cobra and an Indian on either side of you and they were trying to kill you, which one would you kill first???

If that offended anyone I’m very sorry!!! but if it offended YogiR33 then good!!! You dodgy kient! As if I’d just transfer $650+ into your account!!!

im just letting people know that you are a dodgy trader!!! hope no ones engine stuff up because of your pistons!!! funny how you told me you lost trust in me??? haha i was the one offering money to you and taking your word for it that im getting what you advertised.

but your just dodgy!!! watch out or i'll set my GRANDMA on you!!! hahahaha

    • 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).
