Thanks all....

Yeah, dezz i havent driven the Monaro since Heathcote hahahahaha its just not me and now that the GTO is haning around the monaro isnt looking so tasty anymore!

The rims are Lenso Muse in a 19... 18's just didnt fill the guards enough.. the photos dont do the car justice, in the flesh it looks mint..

No track work for me!!! I learnt my lesson once so if i do get track fever again ill be on the look out for a cheap fun track car...

Its a shame you had the drama you did. Its always a risk. What year model is it? Does it have the 5spd or 6spd, i seem to remember the late model ones havign 6 spds?

I drove this car :(, and it is trully awesome.

I would even say that off the line this may have have beaten Shivam's 32GTR, b4 his mechanic troubles, for the first 100m. As Dave stated the RB26 has more up top.

This car really surprised me and Dave made the right choice, the amount of low end torque is incredable, especially for a modified twin turbo car.

i learnt to drive in a GTO when i was 16... my dad had a 91 model with a lot of porsche running gear in it...

awesome cars... so cheap in NZ too which is good :( until u go to resell it.

oh and does it have the leather interior with all the gadgets?? ie adjustable mufflers and all the other gizmos

No leather but has all the gadgets, like adjustable mufflers, cruise control, Active Aero which is fun (at 80kph the front spoiler drops as u can see in the photos and therear spoiler moves)

Ill be with you all at the next drag day to see how she goes!

Launching from a standstill is just rediculous witin it, fantastic traction, even in the wet.. im keen to see my 60 foot times.

The rims are Lenso Muse in a 19... 18's just didnt fill the guards enough.. the photos dont do the car justice, in the flesh it looks mint..

Have to agree ... after seeing this car in person, the car is mint!!! Very sleek looking car in person thats for sure.

and DAMN those wheels look good in those pics!! :)

    • 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).
