Spotted Madaz saving my life this arvo by picking up and delivering to me up a vital brake line component that I snapped, rendering my car undrivable.

Thanks a million mate!!!!!!

Luke - no need to be sorry bud - it's all good!

Good to see Steve pulled through! If you had called me 30 mins prior I would have been able to help out. Thought you were gonna have a "boys day" for the brakes anyways?

Spotted a nice silver 33 GTS-t near my place on Grenfel Rd this arvo, BB plates from memory

That was me, spotted your car a mile away. I was just leaving motor reg with my new plates :)

thought it might have been you,,, i get to visit rego in the am... joy... more money out to my fav's

That could be me but i drive the actual car as i live south and drive the 32 :)

might have been you,, i drive in a daze/haze sometimes... lol

I work with a chick who drives a yellow fully kitted fluro coloured 33. Might of been her.

its a full on yellow car, think it has the inside done up too? someone should ask her to join in SAU, good car for shows. more girls in the club etc

Yeah mate I was, but the pads were down to metal n metal when I braked hard on the front passenger side, so since I had a bit of free time today thought I'd put in the QFM HPX front pads I had sitting around. Then I thought - well if I am going to have the calipers off, then I might as well chuck on the rotors. Then I busted the hard barke line between the rotor and the brake line, so I thought I might as well put the set of braided lines on I had sitting around. Then I thought I might as well do the rears as well.

So 9.5 hours and many grazed knuckes later, here I am.

So, today I did:

- Fitted front RDA slotted/passivated rotors (couldn't get rear rotors off - was 11pm by the time I got to them and didn't want to make the noise)

- Fitted front QFM HPX pads

- Fitted front and rear ADR compliant braided brake lines

- Flushed entire brake system with Motul Dot5 and refilled/bled

- Painted all calipers gold

Result is below

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
