Well it doesnt 100% expalin the problem...it is worth investigaitng but, but yours has been playing up for weeks..so I would suggest it is somthing else, why would a car need retuning after having studs replaced?

according to hardcore when they replaced the 4 broken studs, a stud was also missing from the manifold. after talking to marc & dan about this, marc suggested a tune may be required. dan high suggested a tune to be done cause of the missing stud where the car was tuned without it and something about more or less air/gas.

fark R33skyliner... your car has been retuned more times than Jenna Jameson has been rooted on film!

i just got called in to work on my day off....

am now working 9:30pm - 5am

yay4me! :)

i've had 2 tunes by Brisbane Tuning. The other 3 have been done by Matt Spry.

I only had the most recent one done because I've had the z32 AFM fitted and to make sure it would last out on the track for track day back on 4th july.

Other times it's just been power runs on dyno days such as at Allstar that skyline thursday night we had and also a few weeks later on a saturday arvo for some special event they put on for the day.

The one coming up next Friday is because of as stated above.

Their just feedin u that so its not 'their fault' :)

If it happens next tank of fuel they said they would fix it free...so Meh I will see what happens

Is the whole car going to be that colour Shane?

Yeh eventually, need 2 more weeks off work, only got 1 more and gotta get the engine in and tuned, so will do it later in the year

but i recon the way it is now is good, it looks like a stock gtr from the outside...

    • 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).
