And you have Advan Tri-spokes and are always out at Griffith...

They picked me up 2 weeks ago for a fiberglass bonnet and unsecured airfilter, those things are fixed.

They went over it this morning and found:

1. Coil Overs.. Not ADR approved

2. Exhaust.. Not ADR Approved for Noise and Emissions

3. Front indicators(holden VY side repeaters).. Not ADR Approved

4. Parkers.. Blue tint?? WTF they are white, no sign of blue at all.

5. Headlights.. Dull and faded plastic.. along with every other 33 in the country

6. Rear Indicators and reverse lights tinted (i knew that one sort of just crossed my fingers and hoped they wouldnt care)

7. Steering Column rubs on headers (he was lucky to pick that up it only does it once in a blue moon) ah well...

Most of it is an easy fix, i still have the stock suspension and all the other bits ill pinch of the GTR for the inspection bar the exhaust thats gonna bbe tricky, though a good friend of mine is an approved exhaust fitter and testing dude.

Things they should have but didnt get me for, Large Holes cut in structural parts of the body, Wheels and Tyres scrub and are way to big, front tyres stick out past the guards, RSM and shiftlight on the dash no spare or jack, lots of Mod plate required suspension mods, but now its been inspected when i take it back they only check what they listed... oh well there bad.

Now that ive calmed down a bit its not a huge deal just a rather large expensive **** around, id rather be putting the money towards my non adr approved supercharger :D

spotted a tidy black 34 tailgating me on gympie road. Had personalised plates, silver lip and some kinda F&F kinda decals on the side....was trying to catch a good glimpse of it from rear view but had to concentrate on peak hour traffic as well...nice car if you're on here! :D

a good way t get that yellow fadedness of your headlights is to put brasso on them rub in, let start to dry then rub off well, brings them up bloody nice,

bad luck with the law man

tried to get me the other week, body kit not 100mm off the ground for one, while i was sitting in it, then when he got me out of the car and tried to show me but it wasnt under 100mm anymore hah

i rolled over like a timid dog and pis5ed on myself bein overly respectful and submissive body language (probationary point) and he didnt get me for anything, hah,

i thought he had me for speeding , and he did, but he let me off,,

roll over and pis5, but only as last resort on your probationary point

    • 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).
