Hehe .. I thought this is funny! I was having a late lunch at Northbridge yesterday, when I walked past this beautiful brand new dark blue 350Z with a riced-up GT wing parking outside Gelare !! I thought to myself, this is blasphemy :whatsthat How can someone stick a really high GT wing on this car .. On closer inspection I noticed that the GT wing is the same as the one on my Supra (Top Secret GT2 carbon fibre) . Anyway, as I walked past the front of the car I noticed it had a P-PLATE AND A YELLOW STICKER. Poor kid must have had the “defect sticker” due to the GT wing. :Paranoid:

Conclusion : Black GT wing on a blue 350Z doesn't look right :)

haha yeah Paul and I saw the same 350Z pulled over outside of Bunbury - he was travelling with a white R33 also with a GT wing and they also pulled paul over for his GT wing - so there was 3 of us all in a row pulled over for the wings. But i assumed because of Pauls explanation of the fact they are legal that they let him go - so they mustve yellow stickered him somewhere else.

Im sorry i have to disagree with u - on the 350Z the GT wing looks horny as!! but i cant say i like them on the R33's!

Niz, don't get me wrong. I actually like the GT2 wing.. Heck, I like it A LOT. But for some reason, because of the curve nature of the 350Z, sticking a GT wing on a curved surface doesn't look right. I suppose this is why he attracted the attention from the police.

This is on my Supra, but I think the one I saw yesterday was about 50% higher than mine :) .. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder :)

i saw it in the city friday arvo

metallic blue with plates '--999999' somethin like that

that gt wing looks alright suprisingly, much better than they do on r33s etc

had similar look as the top secret 350z in hpi mag...

    • 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).
