Hey Mate,

I've send your updated details, but no reply as of yet.

i did send this direct to acpt tho.

i also asked moar questions and shall report as soon as i know!

Did not get a reply yet from Acpt,

so i sent details thru to Aussie distributor, which have now been updated with him

as for time frame, still unsure, still in queue as we got in just after big promotions for Acpt.. which has caused a delay.

I have the news everyone has been waiting to hear :D

I have an email at home but have not been able to post it as the forums have been moving..

the 18th i will most probably be making the final deposit and they will be getting sent out.

we are on the production line at the moment i think. so not long now :woot:

will post email when i get home

thanks for the patience

Andrew

Nice one mate. My R is is getting the gearbox and rear diff done at the same time. Then it's on the dyno for a pass or two. I have'nt made any changes since the last dyno run so it should hopefully show any gains from the CF shaft

great to see they have started. Do they have an ETA on delivery as you have stated final deposit on the 18th...

Hope they got the shaft length correct on mine

Edited by Dr R

yerp the 18th and onwards they are expecting the shafts to be ready

and i figure something like fedex for delivery dew to their size,

so thats usually under 3 days..

i will confirm all this with him

niiicee this will be interesting :laugh:

Hey Andrew..

I got one small drama in that I`m heading to Korea 26/8 then onto Oz and wont be back to Jappa until Sept 18th..I dont mind paying extra coin for fast Fedex or UPS from the states if it can be delivered before 26/8.

Whats the chance they`ll be ready by 18th this month??

Hey Mark,

I'll check with him to see what he thinks the date will be, he thinks they will be ready by the 18th but i will check again.

i'm sure dew to their length they will be fedex 2-3 day delivery anyway. its the only way to ship out of the us i know this from snowboard purchaces

Cheers bloke....

UPS do it as well..2-5 days..the more you pay the faster it gets here..

Andrew if you want snowboard gear, buy out of Japan as its cheap as chips...Boots are a hassle cause not many big feet but but last seasons boards,bindings,snow wear goggles etc are usually half price or less. The Japanese always buy the latest and greatest and hardly buy last seasons gear, plus everything goes on sale here in Oct and by Dec its heavily discounted..

More than happy to help out if your after anything...I live in the powder capital of Japan and am regularly digging me GTR out of 60~100cm plus snow dumps..sorry bit off topic

Edited by elrodeo666

Ok they should be out before then, checking up on this.. but if not is there another address we can use?

i buy my gear from america with similar situation, got a whole 3500 retail here setup for 1500 mmmm powder, i might have to visit sometime!

    • 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).
