sucks coming from a country that's not known for anything other than tea and cricket hey? ;) Altho of late when talking to some of the yanks who work with our partner companies that they recognise Sri Lanka fromt he Tsunami thing.

one of my mates who grew up in the US commented that 95% of geography and history taught to kids in american schools is only to do with america.

Whereas we got taught all sorts of cool shit like medieval history, the roman empire, rise n fall of general mao, about all the countries, their features, and all the cool shit from there etc.

I'm blaming it on their education system...

i agree

2 become a citizen in the u.s u need to know all about american history.. i guess thats fair enough tho

LOLLL you remeber that!? funny, we would have learned all the same material... B-Corridor ftw

... but yes, never met an American who knew anything about the world... cant blame them, all thier news ever does is report about their own country. Watch 'The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer' on SBS and you'll see why they have no clue

ahahaha its funny cause its true...

we had an american kid at our school in NZ... he got left behind in History and Geography cause he knew NOTHING about non American history.

I hope that Tony Blair is an unlockable skater in the next Tony Hawk game! :P

Loved the map! :O

However, as stupid as americans are, I'm pretty sure if you put together a bunch of similar questions, and went to the streets and surveyed the australian public, the responses would be pretty much the same.

...the only difference is, that the americans are too stupid to know that they're stupid, but with aussies there's always someone willing to speak up and tell you if you're stupid :(

My family used to travel to the US a couple of times a year for Dad's work, and we would go to a lot of dinners and the like relating to Dad's computer company. My sister an I used to challenge the Americans that where on the same table as us to name all of the states and territories of Australia, whilst we'd name the states of the US. we did this about 30 times, and not once did one of the people we challenged (senior management of fortune 500 style companies) succeed in naming all of the states/territories. :laugh::laugh:

    • 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).
