so baskins meet for this week are we doing it tomorrow or on NYE? As previously discussed our place is open for new years if you wanna do ice cream n then get wasted n play pool? Just let us know if anyone is interested n what you want to drink. Our beer supplies have taken a hit over xmas so it will be mostly spirits lol.

f**kers get your act together n tell us what's going on!

wow this thread is active!

anyway, yes tris that is def me in my pimp hat, rode shotgun with seb on the cruise, nice car when it holds boost, only blew that cooler pipe 2 times when i was in the car, both times i burnt my hand attempting to replace the pipe. 1.2 bar then pop!

yer its true thats version 2 of his car, the old one had a tear in the firewall so he reshelled it then spent heaps of time on ebay buying dodgy shit and waiting heaps of time for his turbo to be rebuilt.

But yer long time coming, nice car though, little rough around the edges but still nice.

As for me, i have been away again, had to swim my skyline through 30cm of water today on dirt road, so glade its been raised 3cm just had that extra bit of ride height i needed to get through it alive.

so guys im thinking about geting new rims for the GTR sometime soon, bit confused over what i should get, origninally wanted XD9s but considering other options as well,

after lookin at these pics i think white XD9s would look awesome on my gtr in 18x10 + 18 offset

but also seirously considering ROTA GRID DRIFT in white 18x10 + 15, i think theyr the ones which look like the TE37s

as compared to the ROTA GTR's which look like the LMGT4's

post-47576-1262095329_thumb.jpg

what do guys think? i think the price difference is a couple of hundred , will probably be lookin at 3200 for the works and 2700 for the ROTA GRIDS with Falken 18/265's all round .

What do you guys reckon, car will also be getting the Bilstein Suspension Kit that Dan @ ERD sells, and the one i thnk Colin has,

any feedback would be appreciated,

Cheers

Adam

I on the other hand think the XD9's look fantastic, especially white rims with your purple skyline.

Not a big fan of rota, and especially since the price is so similar, may as well go for the real thing

Not a huge fan of multi spokes on 33s. I think the 5 or 6 spokes look better. still can't go wrong with works lol.

+1. 33 are FAT. They dont suit multi spokes at all. Unless you really love the rims so much, else I wouldnt recommend them at all.

I actually quite like the multi-spoke look!

Holy crap, that would have been an interesting ride

Yeah I wouldn't buy Rotas myself but not because of all those shitty pics on the net. You will find the majority of those pics are after a car has had a bad off on the track or something like that so not the best thing to look at. They will be fine for daily driving as long as you can live with having fake rims :down:

    • 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).
