OK! lets think theoretically here.

Lets say that all us SAU members were doctors, lawyers or even poloce officers and were instead driving beamers, mercs, porsches or whatever and were being stollen at the rate our skylines are. Id guarantee SA police would be busting their a$$es trying to find these worthless f*cken car thieves! I mean i havnt even seen anything about the high number of nissan thefts mentioned much on the news!!

Am seriously gettin sick of this crap. To make matters worse summer is on its way meaning that even more cars are gonne be driving around, giving these pricks a buffet of cars to choose from. something must be done!

3 words guys: clublock, immobiliser, alarm. if you dont have at least 2 of these you deserve to have your car stollen.

rant complete!

do clublocks really work? i know they would be a goob visual deterrent but i had one and it seemed weak as sh!t, i assumed you could just bend it off

also why is it do you think there is so many cars that are getting stolen? is it just not that hard to steal a car or something? do u just shove a flat head screwdriver in the ignition then ur off??? or does everyone from the dareo suburbs get taught to steal cars when their young or something

From what im aware of, as long as you buy a decent clubby (minimum $50), they are a biatch to remove. once had a mate with a commonwhore and they actually resulted to removing the entire wheel with clublock attached, replacing the wheel with one without a clublock attached (der!) and driving away......

not to mention, replacing your flashing led with a super bright one will help as a deterrant also!

Clublocks don't work if you can saw through your steering wheel... some are metal inside so that's basically out of the question. I believe stock 32/33/34 wheels you could saw through them though. Also older clublocks can be defeated with a can of butane gas and a hammer.

But it's better than nothing, and works better in combination with a kill switch if you can't afford an alarm.

club lock = something else to slow them down

the more time they have to take = more time to get caught

I wouldn't mind the detachable steering wheel setup

Dunno that it would achive much more than a club lock. All they would have to do then is get a wheel with the same attachement & fit it. Sure it would stop the dumber theives (as per club lock), but not the smarter ones.

      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.

      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).
