I've been working in the metro area for the last couple of months and i've noticed that commodore drivers while tailgating me and baiting me as usual are'nt as numerous as they once were. The main offenders now seems to be tossers in XR6 Turbos, utes and 4 doors...am I alone here or are you guys and gals getting the same grief?

Had a guy in an xr6 on a test drive try to get me going, he's unlucky my engine & oil temps were still low otherwise I could have probably saved him the trouble of buying a HMAS Ford. I've found it to be SS Utes myself.

ppl that drive riced up lancers always peeved me off for some reason...

and the new Hyundai Sonatas. Biggest Honda Accord lookalikes ever.

And P-plated drivers in Mercs, Audis and the like dressed up with stuffed toys in the back window restricting their vision, let alone their already dodgy driving.

... this should be in the gear grinder thread shouldnt it :D

I Was going along Warton Road and a guy in a red/grey HSV tried to get me to drag him, you know how they come up along side you and rev their car.. I just :( at them... not worth it lol

I have noticed alot more XR6's on the road, but none that want to drag, they like to fly past in an attempt to show me what they can do though :(

Last sunday I was talking my 78 yr old Dad to see some friends and we pulled up next to an SS ute. My 3inch exhaust must have triggered some kind of penis envy so he gave it a rev to 3 or 4K. So my Dad looks around at him then at me so i give 6K sustained rev for 4 or 5 seconds and me and my Dad had a good laugh as the SS dude limped away owned.....ahhh another father son bonding moment at the expesne of a plonker :/

I never get any attension :D

3 inch turbo back into a cannon its definately loud enough... it just doesn't look riced enough to attract the attension of lancers and excels.

I havn't even been pulled over since I bought the car, I'm jealous

hahaha i got dragged by a XR6 baby blue ute couple days ago.. wasnt really expecting it but he took off so dropped my gear and left him behind..didnt really know my N/A was that fast eh..but yerh tought him a lesson.. its lik 3rd time i got dragged by a XR6.. alot of them asking for it these days..hahaha

:yes:

I guess the worst ones I've seen are the VY/VZ Commodores and BA/BF Falcons, they feature blue and white decals and have blue and red lights.

Always tempt me and they always want to have a "chat" when they catch up.

    • 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).
