big brakes are cool....unless you buy D2s then you just look like a tight ass, awesome 8 pots, too bad each pot is so small it is barely visible to the naked eye

also there was the write up on here about how the mounting bracket snapped at a trackday and the dudes caliper fell off

mmm quality, compared to stock I would consider the D2s to be a downgrade

Gittouttatown Goofrey, Everyone knows its far more important how it looks as to how it performs. :/

Which is exactly why I drive a Midnight Purple GTR33 with Bronze TE37s :)

Except when I'm whoring in a Lambo/Porka/Fezza CS.

Food, fashion, entertainment, lifestyle. That is all

u forgot the bitches mang, its all about the bitches!

but then there are others like duncan (i think, or is it beer baron?) that run them on their race cars, and the bloke overseas thats done the massive write up, and have said they are awesome

Ooh, someone, somewhere did a write up!

Sounds like proof to me.

Yeah I think Tacker gave them a shot.

BTW on a side note, if you do make a mod to brakes like a setup change, FFS get them engineered or you could void all insurance. CTP, comprehensive, the lot. It would be considered a major change and would need some calcs to be done and a braking test.

Hey Josh

You have not heard the ad on the radio at the moment

"Just left school and you holding the keys to a brand new red ferrari, you smell the leather blah blah blah,

then you drive it and brake something parking it...

There is no future in being a parking attendant, enrol now into blah blah blah"

See there is a way you can drive hot cars all day, Ferris Bueller stylez :D

HAHAHAHA! I haven’t heard that one yet, must be a Brisbane station. I hate parking attendants, the f**kers always want the 911 keys “in case they need to move cars around” when I park in the CBD.

Im like that’s a load of shit, just give me a park where you won’t need to move it

yes, thats right, you are a dickhead

Some of the reviews HERE and HERE. Tacker hardly goes easy on them too, running full slicks in 40+ degree heat. The v8 supertaxis even have to change their brake setup when they run there due to the heat. For the price they look like a decent kit.

    • 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).
