was a good day :-D very slippery first laps out and that wonderful comp lock up into T1 haha.

was good giving you a chase, would of chased a bit more but my car started playing up, think the diffs giving up on me lol.

yeah, next time. I was silly to go back out, brakes were not exsistant on the ride back! bloody hell those QFM pads are good tho, worked awesome down to the indicator! just orderd a new set + spare set.

yeah, my brake pedal is feeling a bit spongy now haha was good though, these simple EBC green pads have done 3 track days and 2 hillclimbs now, holding up well :-)

im quite surprised how well the R888's went!

spotted my 33 not ideling & seeming to fuel up at around 4500 5000 rpm doesn't do it all the time tho im thinking afm? maybe igniter? as it has almost new spitfire coils any ideas? running around 13psi

edit if i unplug afm idles fine as soon as i plug it in wont idle

Check the AFM insidey bits where the bits actually solder onto the board, I've read it's a common problem for them to corrode and crack, the just need to be resoldered.

If you'd like a spare one to test I think I've got a spare one lying around because my R33 doesn't need one anymore.

Also my house mate is pretty handy with a soldering iron if does turn out your afm is broken.

How'd you go with your brake master cylinder problem?

brough a new working one fitted it but the pedal is still soft theres no air in the lines or anything the fronts work fine but its like theres no pressure getting to the rear brakes

That would be good i can grab the space saver on friday so if its ok we can test that at the same time?

yeah sure, send me a PM and tell me what time you want to come round.

Woah, I sold the space saver to an Autumn_180, not you Autumn33, imposter!

lol

just a heads up. if you unplug the AFM the ECU will run in limp mode so it will idle and do everything normally. ive seen similar issues before but it doesnt nessasarly mean its AFM.

ill swap your 33 for my 4 door now if you want to. ;)

i found it will idle fine, but you try rev it and it will hunt and carry on like a spastic :)

    • 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).
