god im funneh at 3:30am!!! :P shane

anyone got a big f**k off breaker bar i can borrow on sunday/today harmonic is supposed to be a karnt to get off...

i have one as long as ur forearm and it gets my harmonic balancers off. use ur legs and ur muscles..

bahahahahaha i was gonna tell u that the other day but i assumed u already knew :(

P.S only way to get it tightened back up is to use a rattle gun

or use ur muscles.

To start with - you won't get a rattle gun in there without removing the A/C. Unless you got some super dooper short arse rattle gun that I've never seen before?

Secondly - You can use the breaker bar under the chassis rail and flick the starter to crack the balancer bolt but then you'll have the issue of doing it up again.

Thirdly - Don't do what Mark is about to suggest as I have seen mechanics pop gearboxes a few times trying to crack them with the car in gear and brakes on etc.

I have a tool which you may borrow but it must be returned. Makes everything easy and you don't have to worry about busting shit.

I assume you also have a balancer puller to get the balancer off once you have undone the bolt?

DO i wait till early december for the better deal on my car or do i take the slightly less good deal tomorrow *strokes beard*

You take the less good deal tomorra, as Dec could still fall over.

You rego the R33 so you an anna have transport.

You sell the R33 while your driving it.

When its sold; you either have your new car here or you buy/drive a beater until you get the new car.

Easy.

Dont take the Dec risk,

    • 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).
