spotted a couple of SAU members a couple of weekends ago heading south from the sunshine coast ( 1 R34 4 Door & 1 R33 GTR) gave a toot as i drove by much to be bewilderment of my mrs... i said it's a skyline thing.. hahaha

also spotted a R33 or R32 in mary st sporting a panda look, black body white roof (not sure if thats just a paint job issue or if you're actually trying to achieve the panda look)

Love a hater! Buy a "real skyline".. just cause its not an R series doesn't mean it aint a Skyline!

True being r doesnt matter. Doesn't make me a hater either. I'm actually a big fan of both the stagea/r conversion. Sorry if having a little joke isn't allowed... !

Spotted a pearl stag, a pearl V35 skyline, and then a white R33 within 5 mins of driving along Redbank Plains road around half 11 this morning.

I'm thinking I'll only be satisfied with an Nissan import as a replacement car. The Stag and the V35 looked like sweet rides.

I'm thinking I'll only be satisfied with an Nissan import as a replacement car.

I'm thinking the same.

Even if it's a beat up old 32 I won't mind....

I'm just missing my 34 soo much!!!

I use to enjoy looking in here to see if someone had spotted me.... but now I'm driving round the mrs' Honda Jazz......

Although it does have 7 speed mode.... But the paddle shifters are dodgy pieces of plastic and the shift time is ridiculously long. Haha.

the mrs has one for her work car, slowest piece of shit on the road but it's amazing what you can fit in it :O

lol man don't get me started with this. my biggest "wow" was when we bought our TV a couple years back, a 50"... could fit in the car standing up

everyone laughs at me when I reverse the jazz in when we buy something new... 'it wont fit in that car'... they are always proven wrong -.-... stand up car for fuel and moving houses with haha

slowest car? I never would of thought the way my misses drives

on a side note, black 33 at forest lake round-about where brodies is

    • 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).
