Andrew, car was at the workshop for other major mods, otherwise would have thrown it on myself. (and failed as it needed the new spacer machining up) lol.

so no good comparison will be made, I'm having a bigger laggier turbo.

yeah i recon Mark could probably dust off 2000lf/ft to the shaft in his car! ;)

Keith Cowie is selling some that take 4000lb/ft in the UK I think?

thanks willo,

hopefully you'll get a xmas pressie!!!

Hows it going along with this now? i've not had contact with him at all latley are the last two shafts on their way?

Mick - Sounds good! haha why you gone bigger again? i have a t88 at home i was considering throwing on.. haha but i think i might stick with the twins.

You're kidding right?

Department of Fair Trading sent a letter to Paul last Monday and either he hasn't received it, has ignored it or they have been slow to inform me of the outcome.

this is probably why i've not received anything..

ok thanks

thats exactly what Mark is doing for me, making up a new spacer. ;)

I wasnt sure If I was missing something out of my kit or if they ship them like this. You'd expect them to trial their product properly...

There is no way it should be designed to just shit on that lip and not go all the way home!

cheers

Michael

Wait........... You have an R32 with standard R32 gearbox, and you needed a custom spacer to be made?!?!?! :D :D :)

Hmmm....

With these guys producing shafts for a couple of Japanese tuning shops..e.g Trust etc you wonder how the heck they stay in business. The Japanese wouldnt accept late delivery, maybe once if it was a week or 2 max!! They just take their business elsewhere, regardless of the quality, plus I cant see them accepting a poor fit and spacer to be made. I'll have a suss over here about the fitting.

It just seems a piss poor effort from them that some of us got shafts delivered and some of us well..excuse the pun...Got shafted!

yep!

thats two of us now!

see what more of them are like when people get around to fitting...

hey just be thankful that the shafts are too short and not too long!! lol. then you'd really have a problem...

So there is still two waiting right??

i have like so many emails to read right now.

Hey Andrew, I'm still waiting and calling James is difficult from Africa but I'll keep trying

    • 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.  
    • 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
