Ok, here's the problem. The metal and plastic panels on my car seem to be magnetic. Other cars seem to be attracted to them, leaving nasty ass paint swaps and scoring. Over the past 2 months I have had 3 of 4 corners done no matter where/how I park. This has led me to believe that my hairy crotch has generated static electricity on the drivers seat which has in turn created a magnetic field around the car. Was thinking that maybe if I slide out of the passenger seat then maybe it will reverse the polarity of the field.

Any suggestions?

I guess another way would be to move out of this crappy town (coffs harbour) to somewhere that people have respect for other cars. :D

You mentioned Coffs Harbour, if you do your research you will find that coffs is exactly opposite the burmuda triangle but instead of airplanes and such, it is intelligence that disappears plus the fact that is in NSW means theres not much of that stuff around anyway.

Try installing a flux capacitor and the dole office, they dont shit where they eat!

Hahaha roflmao. Where the hell am I going to get plutonium from? Is there any way to generate 121 gigawatts to run the flux capacitor? Maybe I can create something to convert distilled Coffs wanker juice into electricity. Hmmmm... something to ponder. Or I could even put a sign on the car advertising a job. That should repel those bastards!!

I have a spare lightning rod if you need to make 121 gigawats..

or you could rice it up with spinners and big stupid stickers so people will always be pointing and laughing at it bringing its presence to the attention of all those without brains that were previously attracted to it

BRAINWAVE!!! I can just wrap the car in foam! Why didn't I think of that earlier?? Keep an eye out for a burgundy skyline with mums old sofa cushions strapped to it. Now thats a DIY job! Might spraypaint some skull and crossbones and maybe some fully sick flames in fully bright red on it.

    • 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).
