If you guys can get a few cruises and what not happening, I'll look into get CAMS public liability insurance to cover you in case anything goes wrong. :)

At this stage, cover only applies to members. At least, that's my understanding of it.

Anyone want do do the following install on my 32 GTR for free?<br /><br />HKS GTSS Turbos<br />Tomei Poncams<br />Tomei exhaust manifold<br />HKS Dumps, front pipe, Hi Power Silent exhaust<br />HKS Fuel pump, 700cc Sard injectors<br />Z32 AFMs<br />PowerFC<br /><br />I really don't want to pay 5K(quoted) to get it done professionally.<br />Ok. I'll give you twenty bucks and a high five...

Who quoted you 5k for that?

I figured it would be a day to do the turbo's and exhaust and mafs. A day to do the cams, fuel system and computers and to get a base map in it. And then about 2-3 hours tune time. I'd figure $2500-3K.

If 1/2 your parts are second hand though, there is a lot of stuffing around with fiddly extra's. Cleaning everything, sourcing exhaust studs and gaskets etc. Old R32's tend to often have broken exhaust studs that need extraction. The coolant pipes can sometimes need replacing too as they tend to corrode in and can snap off wen being unbolted. If they do come apart intact, all the pipe work should be zinc plated again to provide some corrosion protection. BCR can do this in Cairns.

Spotted a clean midnight purple R32 GTS-T tonight on Mulgrave road in front of Mcdonalds. Black rims. It was on Gumtree but has recently been taken down. Anyone know the owner? I'd like to tee up a meet in a couple of weeks here in Cairns (When my car gets out of the shop). Interested?

    • 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).
