DAMN FORD!!! they ruined my dreams!!!


Recommended Posts

:P

no i didnt get owned by a ford.

about 2 weeks ago (before i found out i was gonna get a free respray) i had a dream... in this dream i was me and and the grass was green.

in this dream i had a car... symbolically the car looked nothing like a skyline but it "was" :D

in this dream i decided my car needed a respray and as such dipped into my pot of dream gold and and got my car resprayed...

in this dream i had a dream about the colour i wanted... this colour was like non i had seen before and very different... an orange colour... very bright... fluro even... not like ur everyday orange... almost like agent orange but not... not really metalic... and what looked like a white pearl through it... i had never seen this colour before on a car....

UNTIL I SEEN THESE!!!!!!

lol chinny

yeah im going to do my bro in laws bosses website and geta respray out of it... i want this colour but i dont know if i will be able to get a respray in this colour... i might leave the engine bay black and have a few bits on the kit black too... make it look like its meant to be like that hahaha

you know what the biggest bitch about buying a car that you dont know the paint code of. The fact that when you wanna change the front bar, put some skirts on, or if just have an accident, the paint always comes out a shade different.

i bought my car (see avatar), and the colour matching for the spoiler when i had to get a new one cause it broke, was not spot on. the mixture the guy made up for the paint is unknown. It sometimes looks a bit yellowy/greeny when the sun is setting.

yeah but thats cause he doesnt have a paint code... i have a paintcode ;) and yellow is a C$%^ of a colour anyway... we always had trouble mixing yellows to be the same even with a paintcode (i used to be a panelbeater/paint prep)

website for a respray..... SCORE!!!!!!!! shit, wanna pass on any other websites?? i could do with some extra money for the Skyline Saver (yes that's the name i called my IGN account, got a problem! ;):)) - or if ya need any design help ni, i'd be happy to lend a hand. Not very good at the coding/behind the scenes stuff.

ah dude... SCORE!!!

    • 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).
