Keep them in there I say.

Where did you get it from? Import it yourself or buy it locally? Or did it come on your car?

bought it second hand from someone on here that happened to have it lying around brand new unfitted in primer

they are N1 vents, i'm not a fan of them however, they look out of place. (my old GTR front bar had them too)

i am tending to go with mitchy they look kinda out of place on a wagon though it makes it look more agressive. i am tempted to flip a coin.

and everyone else seams to want to leave them for the simple fact of airflow

It's a family wagon not a race car? not to concerned a bout air flow as that huge air dam below kinda let more than ample in and the holes will be blocked by bar rio so cery limited air is going to pass through them.

so wich "LOOKS" better >_<

looks better without. ;)

and yeah, you'd have the cut the support bar (cut it MORE if you have a FMIC) for them to actually be useful.

that large opening in the front will give more than ample air flow, my 33 gts-t with a similar sized opening never got over 1/3 of the temp guage, regardless of how it was driven. :nyaanyaa:

I agree with Mitch too, I never really liked them on GT-Rs, so I wouldn't subject my Stagea to them if I had a 260RS front bar. I think they look like an afterthought.

But this is pretty much a matter of personal opinion and taste.

have a look at andy's old car, cause his car looked friggen porn and he had that front bar but i just cant remember whether he had them in or not.

yep had a look at andy's old car. Don't now about you, but i can't quite tell? :)

this will be the new front bar for my new EGA41T (andy's old one)

this is what it looked like before. this time around it will have a dolfin grille though.

will be happy when it's back on the road.

and before you all ask. cut a long story short. Don't get destacted by your girlfriend whilst driving in heavy traffic

Looks like it went to a good home hey Andy!

(sorry Matthew, no malice intended)

lol, what can you do. i just hope he gets it back to its former glory.

plus i want to know what time it does down the quarter, as i never had the chance to get it on the strip.

anyways, i have a new car now, its called a toyota hiace, roof racks, shelves and racking, 3 ladders, and a bazooka, and best of all free fuel, gotta love the work van, its sexy as :)

    • 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).
