Poyz: Yeah :P Was fun.

Seeing the 32 GTR in my mirrors was pretty cool - we scared a few other cars which caused much amusement.

Being passed by 2 GTRs like you are going backwards must be great for the brown pants industry.

inark: Don't mean to be a code-cop, but the reason your images aren't working is your slashes go the wrong way. Windows (DOS) likes '' but HTTP likes '/' so they don't work on my Mac.

Can you fix? Would like to see the photos :D

inark: Perfect! Thanks lots :P

Thems nice pix!

poyz: He was keeping up with me - but that's not really saying much :D

I have only had mine for a month - so wasn't going all out. Was lots of fun all the same.

James: My brother told me Ula was driving like a pansy throughout most of it.

Could have something to do with the fact he once had to get his car towed home from Lorne. He can fill you in when he reads this post and abuses me over the phone.

Lucky for him my brother and I had our cars to go on an interesting drive on the way back home in the dark. Those corners come plenty fast in the dark, esp when they're blind!

lol, yeah i should've

Bloody potholes, on the way back my exhaust scrapped twice going over them:( not the tip but the last bend in the system before the muffler.

who was that grey 33 following me? did you see any sparks flying as I bottomed out?:P

Ah-ha! An interesting story to be told it seems :P

There was a bit of traffic that held us up in spots (that darn turd-wagon) but we were able to give it a bit of a go. Was the first time I have taken the car for a 'real' drive so am not quite confident pushing it really hard - yet :D

I am getting the suspension fixed (front LHS shock is busted) and new tyres soon - so would like to take it on a training course, then rety the GOR - see if I get more enjoyment from scaring Hyundai Excels :)

    • 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).
