so who built the car... how did you buy it?

looks nice...

I baught the car painted the orange colour but stock as a rock mechanically.

So ive done everything to it except the paint...

I didnt take many build up pic's.

here's some, the car as i baught it, then when we first put the SR in, gutting the dash, and then making the dash cluster.

its taken me about 8 months to build it, mainly due to running on such a tight budget, while building the car, i have had to pay for my wedding and weve started builidng... so the car was way back on the priority list (well, her list).

I wanted to have the car finished the first time if you know what i mean, i didnt want to get it on the road and it still need some work etc. So i did everything straight away. I could have had it going quicker but i wouldnt of been happy with it. The only things i want to do know are just the alloy radiator and cage, these can wait till the funds arive.

thanks for the positive comments guys.

I did put some thaught into the car as i wanted to roll it out done, not with little bits that still needed completing. The only thing the cars needs is a 2way and a cage and then i would be 100% happy with it.

Im just waiting to use the bloody thing!! there's no track days in sight atm its driving me mad...

Dont ya just love bad news

i may have to sell the f*%king thing now to clear some bills before we move into our house...

As the car cant be used as an asset its worth nothing to the banks...

I havnt even used it yet!! god damn it, if i have to i wont be happy.

Ah crap dude :nyaanyaa: That's unfortunate to hear.

yeah, im a bit depressed atm. I had a few people that where all keen to help me with the car and now there no where to be seen. So i cant get it anywhere etc. I dont have a trailer or a tow car.

its just money sitting there i need atm, and unfortunatley it may need to go.

if someone was to offer me enuf now i may sell it, if not there i will keep it and find another way to get some money together.

she doesnt run?

yeah it runs but its race rally only rego...

dealer plates would be handy.

it is a lot of work gone to waste if i have to sell, but with the real estate market the way it is atm i mite not have any choice.

if i could bring my self to sell my road car i may be able to afford to by a tow car and a trailer. But then i have nothing nice to drive on the street.

I have to sell one of my car's with in the next 6 months.

im buying lotto tickets atm!!

factory nismo option ones i think?

autoworx here in perth sell copy one's from memory.

You can also get em from carmate.com but some others have had issues with product quality but mine are from there and no problems.

Well i finally got to use the car, there was a local club day near me at the collie motorplex (3 hours south of perth). Its only a small track but is well suited to drifting as there is plenty of run off, a mixture of fast and slow corners and a great team of people running the track.

The car was awesome, sat really flat. Was so smooth stepping out and in transition. Just a real pleasure to drift. The only problems i had was an ECU problem which was causing the engine to cut out at 6800rpm, the diff opening up a bit (havnt shimmed it yet) and the hydraulic handbrake not working that well yet (need beter pads). Apart from that i had an absolute ball.

Hear are some pic's...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
