they are designing them for the US market, so what they will do is tune them so that they run so rich that they will need a water pump as a fuel pump, since them yanks like big fuel drinking cars.

and notice how they are are only doing the SUVs. i think the yanks rate a car on the following things,

1. which uses the most fuel

2. which is the heaviest

3. which has the worst handling

4. how many lanes it can occupy at once

5. how stupid they look when pimped out.

Yep, I particularly hate the way they bailed out & turned around a company that was rapidly going broke. Personally, I will never forgive them for that.

On the perfromance front Id Rather them go broke than release ship loads of Tiidas into the world

Another remarkably eloquent display of xenophobia. Nice work.

Just because the Tiida is yet another third rate povvo pack small car, sold in this instance is by some third rate American slapper, does that make it any worse than the last generation of Pulsars?

The history of Nissan/Datsun is predominantly one of producing what, in all fairness have been remarkably crap cars. There have been some exceptions - the Z's, a few of the 180/200SX/Sylvia line and some Skylines. Most of what ws good was spawned from the 901 project/business plan/call it what you will. It created some brilliant cars, but left the company in an awful state.

Yeah alot of people hear just think about the turbo Skylines and Silvias when they think of Nissan.

They don't think about the CA18E powered 4 door GX Skylines etc that are crap cars too.

Geezuz would you listen to you people? I bet none of you even read the article...

"Nissan's North American division has announced a plan to co-develop a range of vehicles based on existing models with street-style clothing designer, Marc Ecko."

Who cares what they do in North American Nissan dealerships?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
