shhhh, just PM him quietly. I think the GTR is already on the road whistling.gif

Come on guys, I've been waiting 6months, anyone got a car I can borrow yet? lol

I had trouble getting it through but I worked something out with the compliance workshop and the importer in the end, it did take nearly 9months all up and there was over a month in compliance mostly over this issue.

The car has been registered since roughly October last year :(

Guys, I'm happy to see constructive discussion etc but if you would like to know more information regarding the business name etc please do this via PM to keep things clean. Cheers guy :)

Sure, I've clearly kept the business name(s) out of this but feel free to PM me if your interested, and R31Nismoid already warned us back in October :)

But thanks anyway.

Regards,

Gareth

What have you been told is causing issues with compliancing?

Performance mods?

If you make a list, and maybe even offer tem fo sale/swap with standard parts? that way everyone wins - you get to have your car complianced etc, and we end up with performance gear we're chasing. Beats buying parts to get your car complianced.

Just a thought!

On another note - i dont like the fact that we are able to give public praise to companys who do good work - but arent allowed to publicly warn others about dodgy workshops or bad experiences. Bit one-sided. A few workshops could do with having the threat of their dodgy mistakes and cheap tricks and shortcuts being broadcsted.

Just a long list of mods that they said were difficult to remove, mainly suspension related, very few performance mods themselves.

Eg. aftermarket front rotors, upper/lower control arms, suspension, braided brake lines, little things that add up time-wise.

Anyway, this thread is really old, this is all from last year.

Oh, me and the importer made a deal at the end so it did work out (sorta).

    • 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).
