Anyways back to the topic at hand...

Lets whore some more...

Bryn... I just called Enoggera Smash for you as i know your lazy and they said no. Their too busy and booked out til Christmas. So maby try another well branded smash repairer...

They said they dont mind doing stuff like this, but said their not mechanics and can only bolt it up. If there is a problem it is the customer issue to fix. They said they make cars look pretty not make them run well...

Makes sence?

Not to mention you need to cut a few 3" holes and pull the front end of the car apart...

I would rate is as a 3 start dificulity out of 5...

Fitting GT30 turbos is a 4 star... :P

Changing the oil is a half a start... ;)

Pretty simple process, ur over exagerating it col lol

I reckon $300 labour is what most are going to charge you...

I remember the 3" hole saw and chuck bit was $110 from bunnings just for that one item i needed. So the tools needes are not cheap...

I could do it for you if i had time... But with work im not back in Brisbane for more than 24 hours until Christmas... :)

Id suggest All Star as richard has all the bits to cut the front bar...

Rubbish, it CAN be done with a simple old angle grinder :D (ur not gonna see any of it anyway)

Im a post whore...

Yes yes yes i am...

Post whore am I...

that not what the post count says ;)

I UNDERSTAND WERE YOU ARE COMING FROM... BUT YOU SHOULD BE TALKING WITH JOHN... HE THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN SAYING THAT SAU ARE SAYING THINGS ABOUT ME...

and when have i said stuff about u? the only person that woulda said 'stuff' about u would be john (thats if he did)

hmm i wont talk to dan, we had issues, as nice a bloke im sure he is, i will go else where. a mate of mine jsut said that, since you suppling all the parts, they charge more as they wanna make money off ya

well if u do something to annoy him, of course ur gonna have issues, just like anyone

Hey shane, the kit arrived, only took 36 hours, thats some good postage.

yeah that is pretty decent postage hey! so did u go with the just jap one? and if you want i could put it on for ya

P.S i go away for a few hrs and i come back to 2 new pages! :O:P

hmm, it would be great to have you install, but i dont think we are both ever free at the same time, and me not able to drive, i couldnt have you driving to redcliffe... so i either pay, or wait till december :s

and when have i said stuff about u? the only person that woulda said 'stuff' about u would be john (thats if he did)

Well said...

I have to aggree... I have not been involved enough in whore town to even start to understand whats going on.

I shrug to try and understand the situation, but if you belive im having a go at you your wrong. Cause im not sure what the topic is about???

Angle grinder....

Ewwwwww....

Ill never be that dodgey.... I like the satisifaction of doing a job properly and knowing it is done right...

yes, but when u dont know EXACTLY where that pipe (left hand side one) comes through, it's much easier to use the angle grinder than a hole saw...u end up with the same result, and its not a structual binding 'mod' so it doesnt really matter how 'dodgey' it is

besides, giving it to a shop to do, how do i know they dont get the knew guy (1st day on job) to install it, without watching everything he does, they could be worse than me :s

    • 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).
