Well I got on there & sorted 'em out. Of course, I am one of them as well, but I need a tow car & the carbon fibre diffuser under the R34 gets in the way of the towbar!!!

We will have to watch out when they all start throwing big turbos on them though - seems all the dyno comp guys are running turbo

injected V8s. At least when it gets twisty we'll be gone.

My post:

"What can I say. I recently sold my ClubSport to buy a Skyline! The performance is unbeatable. It was a week of driving before I could get out of the car without shaking from adrenaline. Its not just a straight-line machine either. The cornering performance just has to be experienced to be believed. The HICAS (electronic 4 wheel steer) will change your life. A '93 Skyline has more features than a '98 clubsport! (climate control, electronics, lock system, etc etc etc). I'm totally sold on the skylines. You look at these cars, read the specs and think 'wow', but honestly, that does them no justice. You just can't imagine what they are like. Do yourself a favour, find a good Skyline driver, and ask for a ride. They aren't called Godzilla for nothing..."

Hardly does it justice, but how do you describe to a Holden owner what a Skyline is like? Its like trying to describe sex to a virgin...

Guilt-Toy, I don't care that R33's are common either, but I do get annoyed to hear the "R33's are everywhere" thing, when they are still far far short of Commodores and Camries and Falcons etc. No one ever comments on that, not even me because I really don't give a toss :P

I thought they were very open in there comments and most of them did not cut imports down like they normally do. I loved my SS when I had it but my skylines is a much nicr and faster car to drive but I'm sorry, you just cant beat that V8 roar. (except a GTR with open external watergates)

Good on you guys.

they have been quite good on there actually. i'm keeping an eye on the post. they know they cant match a skyline for performance. they complain about 'riced' cars, with wings etc. mods to make a slow car look better, but what about all the dunny lids on commodore bonnets!?! and the stupid wings (like hrt bathurst size wings), and other half assed mods (under chassis lights, where only one side works). they are way worse than 'riced' jap cars. its just so common everyone's used to it

      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).
