hehe i wouldnt be racing lancers haha.

In all seriousness, taxis shouldnt be allowed on the road, simple reason because they think they own it and when i plow one over with my landcruiser jacked up with a bullbar the media will b like "18 year old p plater hunting down taxis" when really he got in my way.

mmm... ** scratches head in annoyance** taxiz are another pet hate of mine on the road. I always point and laugh :mellow: , when a shitty stock lancer try’s to have a go, and get them to lip read " you got to be Farkn kiddin". Then they power off [ use the term loosely] in a hugh. lol

as u c with the fotos the taxi would have come out without looking and the lancer had no choice but to slam into its left hand front quarter destroying most of the car.

for sure the taxi would have just come out.. its not rare

of course it's the taxi's fault.

He should not have assumed the lancer was going at the speed limit, and therefore he would have enough time to pull out safely... it's his fault the lancer was allegedly doing 110km/h.

I don't think taxi drivers have the best driving craft, but as if the lancer was not contributory. The fact that you so ferverently argue that it's all the taxi's fault shows an immaturity to driving behaviour. Do you condone that it is OK to speed if the driver is 'talented'? Let me guess - It's OK for me to speed because I have excellent driving skills - you have to look out for the real idiots out there - they're the one who pull out and crash into you.

I'd like for once to see high performance owners taking responsibility for actions.

exactly this person has killed a 15 year old passenger in his car (lancer) and an innocent taxi passenger and critically injured others..... taxi fault my ass.

My message to the driver:

Take responsibility for your lack of skill and judgement, you messed up, you killed innocent people sad i know but is no-ones fault but yours.... if you were doing the limit and the taxi pulled out no doubt it would have had another outcome...most likely non fatal.

i pass on all my condolences to the family of all involved including the driver, truly a sad and preventable waste of life.

well said ronin and trent...

Both are at fault yes. But how many taxi's these days do you see just pull out and could easily get t boned... Its one too many

Alot of people i know of who are excellent drivers get in prangs. Either someone tbones them or they tbone someone else.

Condolences to all involved.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
