I know i dont have to help you, but if and when im free, instead of sitting at home doing jack i could be helping or doing something productive which will not only aid you in your gtr quest but help expand my skills, knowledge and maybe a little money on the side.

hmm ok, i'm intruiged

that's true. well theres a fair bit of welding that needs doing. cage, seam welding (stitching), boot modification

i've now got my hands on a copy of the design guidlines so i have all the requirments i/we need to meet for it all, which entail lets me get mod plates for the work, so it can be easily done ourselves

awesome...well for the cage im assuming that andra has a rule book like cams and in it they would have various designs that would comply to their specs and you can build one and then get it checked and approved. Thats how we did it for our cage, picked one design out of the cams book and built it and got it complied.

I guess same goes for the design guidelines from tpt. Which should take any guess work out of it all. I know one of the blokes who is a customer at mercury who runs a 32gtr for drag racing has a half cage in his, so even still could copy his one which im sure is andra spec.

storey, is i changed my oil ;) and took off my front bumper so i could trim some more plastic outa the front, and thought i would trry and fit my washer bottle,...

:thumbsup: still no washer bottle

how much oil exactly should be put in the rb25s ;)

i ask, becuase yesterday we changed my brothers oil, and he got 4 litres

today we did mine and i got just under 5

    • 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).
