Hope you guys like the nozzles and if you're happy with everything, don't be afraid to leave Trader Feedback. Once everyone has their goods I'll go through and do the same for you all ;)

Oh, and I finally fired em off this morning :D

It's like having mini sprinklers mounted on the bonnet :)

Because they flow more water and disperse the water into a fan shaped spray, it feels like the pressure has dropped a little but it's still good. Try it for youself and see.

If you want more pressure, you could do something like what I did to my mate's car when I fitted a set of these for him many years ago. Since he never used the rear window washer, what I did was bridged the front & rear washer motors which are in the same washer bottle ( electrically and water output wise ) and that made for ample pressure. :)

Anyway, see how you go and report back what you think.

Here mine guys.. woohoo..

I'll give it a try to change them by this wkend.. and if I have problems, can I head over to where you(fat34) live? cuz we're really close... you could have just ask me to pick them up.. would save you the postage =)

here are mine which I should have received last sat..but the post office was closed..

thanks again fat34.s.s "the water nozzle guy"

cheers

LOL ! Yeah mate, have a look and if you're unsure, send me a PM and I'll meet up with ya and install them for you :rant:

Hooked mine up as cooler sprayers today. They work really well! Just need to get that stupid valve so it doesn't keep leaking out though...

lol. Yeah they would work well as IC sprayers !

Shame I no longer have an IC to spray >_<

hey just got mine today... thanks

just a question... 1 of the squirt is abit loose.. any way of .. making it abit tighter?

Hi,

I don't think there's much you could do to tighten that 1 nozzle up but it shouldn't make any difference to the performance. Only thing I could suggest is to position it where you want it and then make sure it's dry and put a tiny bit of super glue where the ball / nozzle touches the socket ? Otherwise, just let it go and see what happens >_<

Ok fitted mine.

The left side is perfect, the right side doesnt seem to fan spray as much as the left, it doesnt have that nice flat spray that spreads out.

Is there anything that can be done? It is as if the spray nozzles need to be tightened (like a garden hose)

Also, after its finished spraying, there is a lot of water that is just left on the bonnet of the car, moreso than the stock ones, but at least the entire window is saturated.

Thanks

Sounds like your washer pump motor is not quite up to scratch. I suppose you could either replace the washer pump motor with a new one or combine the rear washer pump motor with the front one ( if you don't use the rear washer ) or even just check the hose from the bottle to the sprayers and see if it's kinked anywhere ?

Just a few thoughts......... Hope it helps :woot:

I've got mine. Thanks :)

The darn paint came off in my hands so I grabbed some 2000 wet/dry sanded them back and gave them a coat of black. Good as new. :)

Damn hard adjusting those nozles, will have another go tomorrow. :S

:woot: The paint came off ?? That's a new one. Sorry for about that :)

Yeah, the first time I fitted them ( to my 32 ) it took me ages to get them adjusted the way I wanted but this time I knew exactly how they needed to be so it took about 2 mins.

Thanks Scott

Problem is it was working fine with the old nozzles, eeven the new mtec ones on the left are okay, it must just be that right side perhaps.

And it is just one of the jets on the right side =P, I was thinking that maybe these things operated like a garden hose in which tightening would make the spray pattern wider. Ah well, $20, cant expect too much =)))

    • 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).
