hey all, im also in mackay, have a r33 s1 gtst black , currently in the processing of respraying, just sanding it back atm

callan, seen your skyline driving around, must say nice skyline bud

Hi There

I have been in mackay for friggin ages, have owned a few skylines in my time. Currently own a R33 GTR and My lil brother Matt owns a R32 GTR N1, you will see us at the strip quite a bit this year as we will be trying to get as much seat time as possible for the Jamboree in August. Aiming for a 8sec pass on Street Radials, but should do a low 9sec quite comfortably. Both Cars should be on the road in a couple of months, looking forward to doing some cruises with you guys through out the year.

Hells yeah, that would be awesome. I've seen you car around a few times... It's visual Porn. You've got a great car, lad. When Palmyra is dried up (In the next few weeks? Haha) give us a yell on here if you're going to the TnT and I'll make sure I'll be down to watch you.

Thanks mate yeah wont be dragging the r33 anytime soon lol let me rephrase that my lil bro wont be dragging it as he broke my gearbox. Its still pulled apart and gotta take it to brissy for a tune 400-450rwkw hopefully. R32 will be getting dragged religously but.

It'll never dry out lol

No way, I'm not wasting my last day of holidays doing that lol.... Did you end up getting your power window module fix? Mines playing up so might pull it apart and re-solder if it looks dodgy. Id say thats all thats wrong with yours as well

Hey my power window on the drivers side is playing up aswell i think its just the contacts in it, does anyone know if we are gonna organise some imports vs V8 nights at the drags this year would like to try tee something up it would be kickass!!!!

I'm keen for a drag when my new wheels get here, but I'll race anything, I just want to see what time I can get.

As for the drivers side window thing, theres a thread in the DIY section I'm pretty sure on how to fix it, Im gonna give it a go soon, was gonna do it a while ago but opened the box for my power window up and everything looked good. Supposedly only takes about 5 mins and a bit of new solder

Took some photos of my engine bay today..... a good camera and some lighting really shows up how dirty it is :( lol

Give me a call when you do yours, Cal and I'll head over to your place with mine and see if that works... Slack to fork out $250 if it just needs new solder. :)

I demand a rematch on GT5... I regeared the shit out of my R33 GTR. I want my redemption!

Airlie sounds good (and is better then halfway) lol

Rob: you were useless :P I'll get my carbon R out for a rematch lol. Yeah I might get keen to play with electrics this weekend. Bring your black box and I'll see if there's any noticable dry solder.

    • 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).
