It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Hey guys I have a problem. Replaced a blown rb20det with another. The new motor arrived with the timing out by 4 teeth. We re did the timing and got it running. But it is idleling rough as guts and the motor will die without throttle. If I give the throttle a tap it jumps up but then will go out of control. Up to 3 Grand then slowly comes back down. I have checked afm iac and cold start valve by unplugging them to see if I get a response. Which I do. I have power and signal going to all injectors and coil packs. All cylinders fire. The ecu has a ewad out of 55 which is no faults. Im out of ideas. Will do a boost leak test tomorrow with soapy water. SO CHEAP! Thanks in advance guys

Hey mate, seems like you have most of the bases covered. Usually the best way to test for leaks is to pressurise the intake.

If you are handy with a welder, weld a compressor fitting onto a piece of pipe with a tap, and weld the end shut. Them simply remove your AFM and clamp it there and slowly crank the pressure up to 30psi.

It is by far the only accurate way to find leaks.

Hey guys did a pressure test on the intake and I have a blown plenum gasket  the supplier I bought it off has a start up warranty on the motor the fact that this was already present has asked for a quote to fix and get the motor running. Lesson: warranty is awesome

After a new clutch cylinder for my car. (P/N: 30620-21U23)

Going to try Brakemart, Repco and Bursons, but just putting this up in case these fail and anyone has one lying around

Its a 3/4 Nabco slave, believe they might be the same as R32 ones, but not 100% sure

Hopefully should be able to source a new one anyway

Really? I dont go there that often. And I always forget to use my racq card anyway lol.

Ended up getting my slave honed and re-sealed by Better Brakes. They had it done in about an hour as well. Looks all shiny and new now :)

Works as well which is a plus

They were originally going to re-sleeve as well but said the bore didnt end up being that bad.

was just shy of $50, noone seemed to stock a new one. Was about to try nissan but dare say it would have been $100 plus

I don't think a re-sleeve would have cost much more, said it was going to be stainless re-sleeve so should last longer, but I'm happy as with the result. Like I said, looks like a brand new one after they sand blasted and re-kitted it

Have a funny feeling it might drive again tomorrow :)

I quite like 34's in yellow

get the wallet out Sean and just do it :P

Get the impression that this is really well looked after as well, has only been lightly modded. Would be a good one

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
