Hey WilliamSmith.......once you get the new valve bodies, who will fit? I need to get my auto serviced, looking for a decent shop on the coast?

Hey blinkstar is that your R33 that is always parked on sugar rd of a day time? or am i thinking of another one?

yeah i thought the same thing, i wondered if it was yours lol there is a guy in my street with the same car as yours aswell. but his is turbo i think. looks the exact same.

ron hill automatics has been on the coast for years, they are in kayleigh drive maroochydore. near my work.

Silly, Silly, Silly.....Marty will send you to Ron Hill anyway...

Why would he even bother wasting his time doing a valve body??? - He wouldnt....thus sending you to Ron Hill.

And FYI---- Ron hill are rated within the top 10 automatic shops in Australia. Thats straight from Mr. Hill himself!

Had a few skylines there before, worked on them well.... I mean, before i realised manual was more enjoyable...

But yeah, fixed my brothers transmission a few months back.....only took a few days...

Moneys on Ron Hill! :)

well The ron hill doesnt own the business anymore, he sold it to one of his employee's but he's been there for years and knows his shit still. ron hill is now a car salesmen for garry crick auto.

The have done lots of skylines, see them there all the time from V35's to R31.

i saw a R33 gtr with NSW plates "GROWLS" in there getting new gearbox one day 5K later. Ouch! but yeah they are the best on the coast for auto transmissions.

went into noosa to pickup ANOTHER engine block.

WHAT A f**kING DUMP!!!!!

if u guys havent been there for a while, u shud go and check it out for the LOLZ.

construction everywhere, old bumkins everywhere, no maintenance...

dont know why ppl aspire to move there? i was glad to leave :P

oh and mitch.. MW started up Joe's gtr. that thing will be KING.

he has an insane fuel setup in the boot, and farking lumpy cams.

also jays gtr was there. the tool stuck on a couple of vta bov's, and its wreaking havoc. at 6psi, they hardly open XD... p platers :thumbsup:

Joe's GTR - is that the yellow R33 GT-R thats been sitting there for months after he went from third gear into second at full rev's and blew the shit outa the motor?

Was at MW's picking up my 34, after I snaped a brake line :P (but now i got braided lines ;), when he was putting the sump back on it, looks real nice, too bad he didnt have the dosh to upgrade to a couple of larger turbo's with all that internal work that was done.

wtf? joe's my best mate, and i know thats not the story. where'd u hear that from :S

And yeah brad will be a beast!

should be good to go this chrissy! lots of cruising to do over these holidays wooooop

    • 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).
