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 =)))

Keep in mind that with the OEM washer nozzles, there's less water flowing out of them and therefore more pressure so the balance between the nozzles would be fine.

The MTEC ones flow more water and therefore cause a slight drop in pressure, so if your washer pump motor is not up to the task, you won't get the results ( balance & coverage ) you're supposed to get. With enough pressure & flow, the mtec ones work really well ( in most cases ). With them fitted on my car I get a great spray pattern & flow. I'll try to get a pic this weekend to show how they should look.

I don't think you can tighten anything like a garden hose but let me know if you do try anything that works :)

As for the $20.... Keep in mind that included registered postage and packaging so the actual price you paid for the nozzles was $12.20 and the cost to me was $12.00 per pair so my profit per pair was 20 cents which went towards my time / fuel. Not saying anything special here. Just breaking it down so you know :)

Again, if you're like me and never use your rear washers, there's always the option of bridging front and back electrically and out wise to give you a huge output :woot:

Fair enough. I may be interested in a black set then.

So it's $20 delivered, no mods needed to fit them to a R33 GTST? Please send me a PM with payment details.

Cheers!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
