Haha yeah, I read lots of stuff about the Greddy radiators not taking the stock shroud so I was happy when this one did. Everything fitted up perfect, was great.

Coolant temps stick around 83 degrees while I'm driving now, definently keeping the thing cool

Just need some foam for around the top and in a few spots to keep the airflow through the radiator, but its minor shit really

yeah ive never had a problem with shrouds refitting.. I just broke mine lol. but that's good it all fits sweet. its a pain when it doesn't.

get some n1 slots. although depends bow big intercooler is, that will give some extra air through it

If anyone is interested I have a few things for sale

RB25DET head, complete internally with rocker covers and CAS bracket. Think it has VCT solenoid, if not I have a spare. Has leaking valve stem seal or needs seats cut so would suit a rebuild. Other then that it's in good condition

2 silicon reducers - 3" - 4" and 3" - 2.5"

Stock RB25DET exhaust manifold with heat shield

Just down the road at Freshwater Pt near Armstrongs Beach, just inherited a 4 door from my mate who passed away. Joined this forum cos i know f all about skylines but after driving the thing home from Bowen i can understand why you all love em. Will be slowly restoring it to its former glory as time and funds permit

welcome alan, its always a slow process mate, haha. but you will get there. ive had my gtr near on ten years now, motor was first thing to be done, and just last year was all the cosmetics. slowly tickering with things. most people will be able to help on this forum if you have any questions.

Thanks Jordan, first thing im doing is the body and then brakes/suspension. The performance in standard form is good enough for now but i have a feeling that once the body work and suspension are sorted i'll want some more ponies. I do have a few questions; Is there anyone you can recommend to supply and fit a body kit (doesnt seem to be many options for 4 doors) here in Mackay?? Are there any workshops that specialise in Skylines in Mackay?? And where would i start looking for things like chrome door trims (got one missing) and new headlights, grill badge etc, are there any wreckers who specialise in nissans??

if your on Facebook (or there may even be a website), search for Proximity Motorsport. Leon has been messing around with Skylines etc for years now.

As for the parts for your car, if your chasing them new, I can get some part numbers and see how much for genuine new replacements. You won't have too much luck with wreckers in Mackay, so you'll either have to go through one in Brisbane or further, or buy new.

If you want me to have a look, I just need your VIN number (the 6U900 or whatever number it is isn't important) and a good description and I can search for you.

Thanks Cal, i have checked out proximity on face book, was hoping to hear some positive reports before i spend my hard earned so cheers for that, i'll tell him you sent me. I'll have a good think about the genuine parts i would like to get and let you know. Do you work at Nissan? Can't tell you how much i appreciate your offer to help, thanks again.

I don't work at Nissan, but have access to their parts program and know the best place to get stuff from. When you have ordered as many genuine parts as me you soon work out the best way to get it lol, and it sure as hell isn't through Nissan Mackay

I think Mackay not having much money is half of it. Tune the car, make them happy - then to find out they never had the money to pay in the first place "I'll pay you in a few weeks".

Plus, facebook is bringing the idiots out. Everyone is an expert, no one has a clue..

    • 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).
