wouldnt be that bad having em. i have heard of the 1s that can open upwards and traditional with thet same setup but i cant remember where i heard about em. ive always felt it looks better on cars that have the metal bracket for the window thingy if you know what im talking about cause it looks like transformers if you have your window down and door up in a skyline with the low slung doors i think there called.

just some food for thought someone i knew had em and was saying he felt they were a pain in the arse when he just wants to get going theres a bit of a limbo act involved as well & he gets soaked if its raining due to the fact you gota mess around lifting your door up while its raining to get in the car all the while its all getting in your car aswell. but if your like me your car dosnt know what rain is :)

yeah thats the problem.....they might look cool and all but eventually the novelty will wear off and you'll be stuck with something thats a hassle to use, that draws to much police attention and that cost a packet.

?? how would that work kisin??

im confuzed

i think he means actual normal doors..... maybe.....

Nah not normal doors. i dont know what type they are, but i clearly saw the guy (a number of times) open the same door on his car, few times vertically, few times normally (tight squeeze).

i went to autostyling (speed dreamz) JUST to check out how their doors are like... and as much as i hate to say this but they are quiet smooth to lift up and you can also open them normally (not to the full extent but close enough.. .. 1800 fitted.. but i dont really trust them with my car so.. >.<

:laughing-smiley-014: - this comming from someone selling overpriced shoes that are "immense and definately an eye pleaser!" :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Whats wrong with it coming from me - I'm selling them not wearing them. Who is it overpriced to? You or a tiesto fan looking to buy them but cant find them locally? I will sell them at any price I see fit :D

200 for a pair of shoe is normal.. and back to the doors.. i dont see why its riced when you can open them normal or upwards, and mayb youve upgrade your car to the standards YOU want it to be so whats wrong with scissor doors might aswel if your willing to spend the cash. =D thats what i think anyway.

Imagine having scissors and pulling into a maccas or pub carpark where there are about 20 blokes squashed in 3 falcodores or a bunch of hairy chrome domes on harleys. What sort of reception ya reckon you'll get when you open the doors.......lil bit embarassing me thinks :laugh:

I personally dont have an issue with them though, but I would never have them.

If i had a mental car, i would chuck the vertical doors on. If i encounter falcodores full of guys... dont care :) They can say what they like, and if they start to get physical, then i can protect myself by all means necessary :)

PS: most of them are sissies as soon as they see u stand up 4 ur self.

i maybe a little under the influense at the moment, but when i see them its like the car is waving and sayng 'look at me im a fag'

i apologise in advance when i read this 2moz :D

spend the coin on something else like a stereo at least you can enjoy that for nearlty 100% of the time while driving... compared to the 5% posing in a carpark, seriously how often would u sit somewhere with your doors open?

      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).
