Morning everyone. I'm a cranky farker today (lack of sleep) and been thinking about this whole car situation......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Angry Ants. Lol! calling up the workshop today?

Oh my,

Those plates are magnificent,

Now i just need $3300 as they are available.

You can lay-buy plates with a $100 deposit. Might be advisable so that you don't have to worry about someone taking them.

Morning!

Car towed to the workshop this morning. Gearbox getting replaced. Hell yes, can't wait !!!

Smashed box? Which shop and what happened?

Tired and cranky. Had to wash a hire car at 2am because a truck hit a roo which splashed blood everywhere and the stupid dismembered thibg cracked the windscreen!

What's the insurance like with that?

#@RusH_ please make me one of these in metallic white :yes:

Looks like the Nissan font, which i have.

Metallic white i don't have, can do normal or reflective white.

Yer u may be getting pulled over for more than just defects lol.

Also while I have you here what's ur opinion on plastidip/spray vinyl?

If i hear you refer to it as a 'spray vinyl' again i may have to dismember you, wrap you in real vinyl and drop you in a lake...

Answer your question?

lol, Plasti dip and the likes are good for not much, for badges and other small things you can't really wrap.

It isn't really even comparable to a wrap as the finish is no where near that of a wrap and it's colour range is rubbish.

Add to that i've heard that over about a year or so it starts to destroy clear coat (apparently this has occured in the US in the hotter states) :blink:

What i've come to find is that those people who compare the price of a wrap to the price of a plasti dip are the ones who aren't willing to fork out for a quality wrap and may as well stick with the dipping.

Don't get me wrong, i'd probably use it for a few badges or the likes if i actually had any...but other than that, not intersted in the stuff. I think it's more of a phase type thing that will be something of a cheap option and may hang around in the background of the car modification scene.

1. Reflective white could be cool, any examples of this?

2. Ok plasti dip gives Steve man rags lol. But yer fair enough I imagined that would be close to what your opinion would be of it. I haven't seen it in person so I can't comment.

I'm drafting a bulldog of an email first, because if I call him right now I think I may say something I will regret.

I will call him when I calm dafaq DOWN!

Plus I'm currently doing an objection letter on behalf of a client so don't have much time.

Hey Antz,

Just read your build thread, I think you really need to consider going to a crank trigger set up too. Thats a lot of engine to entrust to potentially dodgy CAS signals! So maybe the delay is good, because it will give you a chance to sort it out before it all goes back together!

quickly give me the low down on this crank trigger setup mate - as I'm no expert.

Rather not say the shop security reasons pm me if you wanted to know.

As for what happened.. long story short... Reverse clutch packs gone due to driveway far to steep.... so now have to keep the car elsewhere which is a bit of a pain :(

    • 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).
