this thread is turning into a spot the undercover cop thread.

maybe we could give them their own "Spotted Thread" lol :D

Fantasic idea AFTAMATH,

I'm all for that, it would be more useful than the current vanilla spotted thread.

Hows about it Administrators... Dan?

A bit off topic - but a cop is always a cop... as in they can still deal with you when they are off duty. They just get your details and send you a summons later.

Absolutely, They have a duty of care that requires their action off duty. What they cant do is make an accurate determination regarding the absolute speed of a vehicle. An officer can say that you were driving recklesly but not that you were doing 101 in an 80. Well i mean an officer could say it but any competent representation would make short work of that in a court room

".... I look up out the window and there is an orange bus FULL of police in uniform, it was like "ummm.. Richard" Then later we had a laugh how funny it would look if he were pulled over by a bus!
:D "Special Bus"

I wont attempt to speak for the Adminsitrators but personaly shouldnt we be trying to put a law abiding face to our scene. Surely the better the PR between import owners and the Plods the less harrasment there will be and therefore the Police can spend more of their time chasing junkie thieves and kiddie fiddlers...were's the love Diamondjo???weres the love?

Its a contentious issue I agree, however I think there is something inherantly wrong with undercover cars. Using marked cars creates a presence, using unmarked cars has an element of sneakiness about it.

Mr Keets, your soccer-momish "Oh won't somebody please think of the children" will get you nowhere with me :)

I agree that unmarked cars creates an air of deceit in regards to the police, the same as hiding multinovas. Having all the cars marked and all cameras CLEARLY signed would be more of a deterrent than hiding them. Now there is talk of FAKE cameras as a deterrent.. if it was that important to them to use the cameras as a deterrent instead of a revenue raising tool, then they should make the REAL cameras BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
