I came within a mick hair of owning a 55. Guy wanted to swap for my monaro. I often wonder what if.

Before people jump on the weight bandwagon a 1uzfe is 177kg with no gearbox, and an sr20 is something like 130kg. This can be fixed with correct suspension set ups.

GAH!!! you should of traded... the monaro aint going nowhere.. you can still pick up those bucket of craps for under 10k

NO..Flat NO!. Hot rods are farking ugly imo. Rarely have I seen one that I would call hot looking. Lots of work in them and some good quality stuff too, but at the end of the day its still a chopped up ugly arese bucket.

I much prefer full restos in that vintage rather than rodded shit.

If i still owned that monaro today I could write my own ticket bro. HT gts 350 bathurst edition. have you seen the krazy money they are going for?

Na? :D

Yes. cat back exhaust, simple induction on an auto 130 - 140rwkw. With a manual 150rwkw+.

That s13 has a tuned ecu, haltech i think, the stock 1uzfe ecu is a major let down and a joke. the haltech will push that car up around 200rwkw+ untill he gets some extractors.

We share the same opinion on something. What type of cars, or pure just old muscle cars?

quite a few of the earlier caddys. chevs and even some fords look fantastic in full resto.

Muscle cars do own it for me tho. 68 comaro, some of the vettes. couple of stangs. Never a dodge fan despite their all conquering hemi. The cars were farkin ugly cheap built shit boxes.

You sure could, dad had historic cars, lots of ex racers at phillip island ect, not so much ozzie/american muscel cars. To re right time over agian.

Among other things, oldest MG in Australia, second oldest in the world.

Not everyones thing, however gotta give it respect for what it is and its history.

    • 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).
