Looks like the blue commodore was gunning down the street, suspicions were he was drunk (not comfirmed) he veered left into the parked cars, hitting the ute which hit the suby, the commodore somehow snapped into reverse, with his foot still flat to the floor, started spinning the wheels (heard this from a st away) it went back up the road and hit a tree, cracking the tree in half.....

Its lucky there werent small kids out the front as there is always kids in that street. The suby owner is pissed, 2 months old and limited edition... and the ute is pretty much written off......

If it turns out the driver was drunk the shit will hit the fan

im suprised the airbags didnt go off.......

THats my interesting afternoon

bet there wont be a news article about it :(

No P's. Not a grey import. Not a chance.

If it does make the news it'll be an "unspecified sedan that got involved in an accident with a high power limited edition WRX, a car favoured by ram raiders and hoons".

Awesome.. Cheers for the photos.. yeah WRP 10.. unlucky.. i'd be pissed as well consider he would have had no idea what was going on..

Hmm snapped into reverse.. maybe it was an auto.. you can see the tire marks where it reversed...

just to confirm, it was an auto, no way the driver did it, suspicions is that on impact as such the tranny has moved back forcing the selector forward hence into reverse.... the wheels were still spinning full speed whilst the commy was on the tree, bystanders had to turn the car off, the driver was out, went to hosp in ambo, not a pretty sight, didnt know wat the fark was going on, didnt even realise he was in a acco..... the ute was parked before the telegraph pole before impact.......

ouch!

if it were a merc or something would you lot still go "bloody merc drivers!" ??

regardless of the car.....if the driver was drunk - hope he gets what he deserves - 10 years with bubba

    • 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).
