I know this has been covered many times but i had to bring it up again, what is the deal with wannabe skyline owners thinking that we will

care if they sit next to us and rev their engines? On the way home this arvo i had 3 p platers in commos try to race me, a bloke in an xr6

go screaming past me and another guy in a new sr5 hilux hang out the window and say " wanna race " i mean god damn it's getting pretty

old, and that was within an hour.

On the plus side i did see green p plater in a nice silver stagea, got a wave as well, now that's respect LOL.

Bro.... I have to agree and also bear witness to such idiotic things...

I mean... to them, Skylines, Silvias, WRX's etc are "BEAST LIKE" sports cars... so once they line up next to ya... they're like... ok, here's the benchmark...let's race them... I have nothing to lose, but if I floke it and win... it would make the other bloke in their Riceboxes look bad...

For example, my car is pretty made-up and modded... stopped at the lights next to Holden VL or something... and they just went totally nuts!! LOL

SO yeah, sad but true.

shiny objects can fool em.

I used to get it a lot too, only it's usually from the commo crowd, so I couldn't give a crap. What is it with the commodore? As soon as the V8 races start, they're all revving to go! For this reason alone, I cannot buy a commodore ever.

^^^ lol its funny cos its true, they try so hard but dont make any distance.

i dont really get anyone doing that alot, only when its a merge in lane and the commodore just has to prove it can accelerate. Maybe its cos im a girl, cos when my bf drives my car it happens to him alot.

i don't get that because I put on my vin disel face masks on every time I drive and they all know how amazing vin disel is at drag racing so they don't even try. I own their asses before they even know it.

lol

All of the above i find amusing, but what annoys/amuses me, is when a commodore driver lines up next to u at the lights takes off slowly (because he knows if he canes it you will) then like a minute later comes flying past u at 180.. what are they trying to prove lol.. It's even funnier when you drop it back a gear and catch there speed by the time they're next to you.

lol yeh i had this happen to me was in the right lane and in the left lane there was a commo v8 vs (muzza) which needed to merge as lane stops...anyway i saw him and accelerated so he could not get past me on the asphalt, so what does he do? He just goes through the emergency lane which is gravel and overtakes me,there was dust and rocks everywhere and he nearly lost it! what a tool........

i am 1 of these people, except i would pull up next to a commodore in my skyline and do it. and i never had many takers.

i also like pulling up next to skylines with their big chrome wheels and big bodykits that are all show and stock go and then there's me that had stock wheels, with some more go, and then beating them.

now i do it in my current car. a 99 magna. i'm going to race my mate with his 33 at willowbank this weekend. i told him that if he beats me there is something wrong, but i am still hoping for a high 14 second pass, which is quicker than some skylines on here.

      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).
