As the title says.

I got some from GCG, but they are speedflow/alloy. I'd prefer steel, zinc plated is OK, but stainless would be better.

Nothing wrong with speedflow, just like the durability and hardness of steel.

Before I run up a million dollar bill on std calls, thought I'd ask here first.

PS the oil banjo and banjo bolt from GCG is stainless, so I'm Ok for it.

No you wont. Though it will be tight and you may need to angle the cart slightly to give yourself space to get the fitting on. Mine is angled about 5 degrees anti clockwise looking from the front so the oil fitting clears the number 1 runner on the hks manifold.

But mine has a bolt on adapter to suit the old t3 2 bolt inlet with a 90 degree bend attached to that, and then a male male adapter and then a flexible line so it takes a bit of room :thumbsup:

I don't have water lines so cant help you there, though i figured if i went a water cooled turbo i would just get some earls lines with a 90 on the turbo end and a male male adapter (compression fitting, same as my oil line) screwed into the turbo.

I didn't get the GCG hose kit!!

All I got was the fittings. The oil feed fitting is a banjo and bolt. There is no 90 degree bend, I won't have any problem that I can see. I'll get s/s hose swaged onto the end of the banjo by pirtek/enzed and I'm pretty sure it will fit fine.

The only place I have 90 degree bends is thwe speedflow water line units which I don't want to use, I'd much rather have normal steel banjo and bolt units similar to std fittings.

If your still certain I'll have problems, a pic would be good.

So the water is a 14mm Banjo with a M14 x 1.5 banjo bolt and the oil feed a 7/16 Banjo with a Inverted Flare 7/16-24 Banjo Bolt.

I checked out motorsport connections but they only have the m14x1.5 banjo bolt listed, not the banjo w/hose end its self. Might drop them a line to see if they are available. :S

Im 99% sure ive got one off them before

hey mate iv got some im not using from my HKS 3037 (same turbo your using if i remember properly), cant remember what their made of but i can check out when i get home from work tonight if your still interested

thanks, I'll give them a try. So far, plenty of alloy sfa steel, no s/s.

I can get the bolts in zinc plated [standard] steel, but no web site has what I want. And no banjo's. Pirtek, Enzed, Goodridge, ATP, HPF, and others as well. But you'd have to lay money on someone having exactly what I'm after, I'm just not looking in the right places.

    • 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).
