g'day all,

i just took the door trim off my 1994 r32 GTR to fit some sound deadening, and i can't see any side intrusion bars in there.

i know it was complied in nsw, but how should i find out who did it?

hmmm...i wonder what legs i have to stand on...what should i do?

Cheers,

M..

well....the company that complied it is named on the compliance plate under the bonnet.

So if you do want to do something about it contact them and see what they say. And if you still want to do more and they won't co-operate take it up with DOTARS.

Are you realy shure that theres nothing in there? Because the late 32GTR's came factory fited with side intrusion bars. It looks like a fairly puny little thing that runs along the inside of the doors. Ive got one in my passenger door in my 32 GTR

get pics up and make sure that you definately dont have them, after that, dont bother with the workshop, go straight to dotars and get em shut the f*ck down. if they are taking shortcuts when it comes to your safety, f*ck em!

hi all,

thanks for all the good replies, i really appreciate it.

a) i can't be absolutely sure that there is no bar in the door - if they're small i may have missed it

b) i haven't checked the driver's side, this will help me compare them

c) i've contacted DOTARS by email, no reply as yet

d) obviously if the door has no bar fitted, i'll get them put in.

it's an interesting problem - there's a moral hazard to not telling dotars, and a moral hazard to telling them...hmmm....

u can no longer put aftermark intrusion bars in for RAWS vehicles they must be OEM fitted trusion bars and doors. as for trying to contact DOTARS its kinda pointless the workshop will just say they were there wen we complied it..

Who told you this? This is the opposite of what I've heard and seen recently.

This is the same as what happened to my car, as they weren't allowed to just add intrusion bars so i had to get some white doors with OEM bars fitted and paint them black

hi guys,

ok, here's a photo looking up towards the top of the door, on the inside:

should there be anything there? i don't know if there's something behind that bulging but of metal in the middle of the picture.

btw i thought the same thing as razor - that you can use oem parts for these units?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
