Once again, the guys at Midland pits have done the righty by me. Got the sticker off this morning and the inspector was very nice.. he even joked about seeing me next week because the cops like to pick on cars like mine, he on the other hand, said he quite enjoyed them and that they are nice cars. Top bloke :(

Already had permits for fmic, pod, full exhaust, adjustable suspension (coilovers, swaybars, camber/castor bushes) and bov. Also have an RB30DET in there.. so I would say far from stock :w00t:

Yeah, or if your chasing permits you can wait a month to hear back if your application is accepted or not, then talk to an engineer who will tell you he is doing about 5-10 cars right now & won't be able to get to yours for a while. Then he can tell you once he's run the tests etc and that paperwork gets handed back to the DPI, it's another month or whatever to find out if that's accepted for final approval. /no lube

Anyone got a gun? Will pay for death.

easy tiger everything takes time yeah its slow at times but thats just the way it goes after all there is alot of people applying for permits, engineers going through 5-10 cars daily etc thats just the price you pay i guess for owning an import(modified vehicle) you need to be prepared to have these hiccups.It sucks thats for sure but at the end of the day its your car and you choose what you drive :P

Sounds like i should of taken the VL down to midland instead. I went to East Perth and i only passed it on the 4th time because they kept "finding" new shit wrong at each inspection.

There is this guy their ( i call him Himal) because he is an inspection Nazi ) and he wont pass anything. I saw him fail a few brand new cars ffs.

they aren't supposed to find new things wrong!

their job is for INSPECTION

to get EVERYTHING diagnosed, then RE-INSPECTED to check the work order

golly, they need to find these things in the first place unless it's major enviro / road safety issue ie oil leaks / broken steering boots / failing brakes etc

GOLLY GOSH

wuick thing about those mod permits, they take a long time, and as previously stated, the police and the DPI have NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER

so you can have all these stupid permits but if i police officer wants to defect your car he will permits or not

and if you have mods then you can get them over the pits regardless of mods or not

i don't even know why they have them i guess it's to keep some jobs in DPI but still the DPI don't care about them n neither do the police?

      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).
