Hi i have a annoying air leak on my R33 found it was were the revision mirror sits on the seal, if i push the seal from the inside hard against the door it stops so i have put it down too the seal it has no cracks but feels really weak and soft compared to the rest of the door seal so i have been looking for another if i have any luck i will let you guys know.

Thanks

John

uhhhh some bad news..... turns out the guy i was speaking to last time just told me that he could get the seals without checking. i went down today and after 15 mins of searching on the computer, another guy said he wasnt able to get them

Out of interest did they try and match the seals to another car? I would be surprised if the seals themselves are skyline specific - might just need the correct length of other standard seals

Ok guys I'm keen on this subject and I reckon a lot of other people will be wanting these seals at a good price.

If anyone can suggest some good places to start I'll do the ringing around and see what I can come up with.

try Spectrum Rubber, located in NSW

http://www.spectrumrubber.com.au/contactus.htm

i think they may still be settin up there website because i cant access there product catalogue but like i said, they did supply my rx7 door seals and had the option for a number of other old skool rotors so one can only try given that our skylines are now a fairly, dare i say, common variety of vehicle.

keep everyone posted ppl

Well Spectrum's prices aren't any better than Nissan Australia. Bummer.

In fact they get some of their seals from Japan anyway so they'd be Nissan ones anyway.

Spectrum did say they could do a better price depending on numbers but their standard price is about $325 per seal for R32 coupe. This is for the seal that runs up the A pillar, along the roof and down the B pillar.

For some reason the left and right side seals are a few bucks different in price.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
