hey guys,

some tool parked me in on the weekend which meant i had to reverse of a gutter and i broke the right hand side of my front bar. (where it bolts on just infront of the right wheel)

Want it fixed nicely while still paying a fair price...... how mcuh would one expect?? crack is 2 or 3 inches long and would need respray i assume.. (or maybe i should get touch up paint... )

any suggestions where to get it fixed? i live in the redlands (cleveland) so south east bris would be closer..

i know i could fix it myself but since it has to be painted etc and ive never done it before i think id rather pay someone to do it for me.

been told DMD the image at coopers plains are "fooli sik body kit specialists" lol

cheers,

Zennon

Yeah DMD you cant go wrong mate...not to hard to do yourself if you got a bit of spare time however!

yeah im thinking about it... I've never worked with fiber glass before... (saw a D.I.Y. thread somewhere...)

not sure how i would paint it though... could buy some touch up paint but dont have any spray guns or anything.. might look a little dodgy... although the bar isn't like in the best condition anyway so maybe i should lol

Gun metal grey isnt to hard find a find with a gun or if your ultra budget get a can of primer a can of the grey and a can of clear and bobs yours uncle you could probably have it all done for around 50 looking alrightish or 250-300 depending on damage for dmd to do it!

kustom fx in underwood (3208 0832) they just fixed up my bodykit and did a great job

yeah DMD cant do it this week and I want it done before sunday's cruise so Ill try Kustom Fx...

how much work did they do to yours Konrad (wasn't just the front was it?) and how much did they charge you? you've got a 33 i assume?

hey nice car :) how come i havnt seen it around yet?,, does it come out often?

do u live near like defiance or deviance? .. no one coudl forget that name how come i can? lol..

its out practically every day, but i'm often out of town so it can be seen cruising exotic places like toowoomba, emerald and bundaberg :ninja:

no idea what you're getting at with the defiance thing, doesn't sound like anything near where i live (logan)

DMD originally did my Monkey Warehouse front bar (supply and fit. Was very displeased, especially for the price. For $500 more than what they charged just to suplly and fit my front bar, i bought side skirts, a rear bar, and GTR air vents, and had them all painted and fitted (re-did shit front bar), at Morayfield Smash Repairs. Not known for imports really, but do a lot of things like porches and older cars, reconditioning etc, they are fantastic with bothe steel and fibreglass.

I will second Morayfield smash, as they do good paint work and and body work and have qualified tradepeople...unlike some "specialist" body kit places....

There is also Caboolture Crash...geez all the names sound the same...but anyway they also do a good job

Thanks guys but Morayfield and Caboolture are a little far away Im afraid... Think I might see how I go with the local shops...

    • 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).
