DMD The Image has what you want.

http://www.ebridge.com.au/dmdtheimage/

Anyone know how well the DMD front bars fit? Any mods required? Im interested in the Do-Luck lookalike. Also afta a rough idea of cost for painting a whole kit if anyone can help.

Cheers.

DMD are the eqivilent to Body form in sydney .. I.E the best if not close to the top fitters

Ok. So has anyone actually had a DMD Do Luck front bar fitted to their 34? I'd like to kno if u can use the factory bonnet with it or would the longer GTR bonnet be required. Also would u need a huge FMIC to fill that big hole in the centre or would any FMIC do the job? Im running a Hybrid GT kit. It also looks like the FMIC pipes goes thru the front bar meaning a hole would have to be cut to fit so would this be a mod thats to be taken into cosideration.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Most aspects of the bar are nice except the grill area.. :P

cheers -

if i din't go a do-luck myself my other thoughts would be to customise a little in that area

(read: chop out the fugly bits)

bar was already on the car when i bought it.

:(

Firstly The Do luck kit is wicked ill be running it soon.

Secondly answering your questions The hybrid is too small to fit that huge hole.. Yes mods need to be done to fit a massive cooler.

The kit is redesigned by DMD to fit the GTT and they also have the GTR kit .. They dont have the side skirts from last time I asked which is a pitty because the side skirts make it .. the lines for the do luck kit are perfect and you cant really match it with any other kit .. I dont like the rear bar that much espeically not the UK version its more like a Bomex rear :) :)

    • 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).
