I live in gladstone and i havent seen many good cars round here there is a really nice one with a nismo body kit but most things round here are stock but my mates bro has one of the fastest he hasnt been beaten on the street yet not sure what model skyline it is i think its a R32 possibly GTR

hey i resent that. Nah not really apparently they aren't all they are cracked up to be. Either way i'm not going to be able to drivethe car for like 5 more months so me wrecking the clutch again isn't gonna happen.

BUt yeah if your gonna get a twin plate your better off getting something like an osgiken or agura twin plate setup.

Just don'tr ask Richo's for an opinion becuase they will swear bloody murder that there is no such thing as a triple plate clutch......

Hey Willo don't pass the Australian product off too quickly... there are some really good companies producing really good products without the ridiculous OSGiken Pricetag... if you are chasing brands go for it... but just remember some of our local product outways the competition in more ways than one... including price and customer service...

would shaun have gotten a replacement clutch from OS... maybe but the Aussie guys are battling for product placement... and my Clutch has been perfect from day one... one fault doesn't mean that your supplier should get shot down in flames... he did replace it for free??

What about going for a well known performance twin plate brand like Centerforce... or something like that... probably cheaper prices... and better service... And many many many BIG horsepower manuals have been running Centerforce Clutchs for years... they most be doing something right!!

Hey it was heavy last night on the Lap scene... far out there were some cops around... and I won't ever joke about FRO getting pulled up again... Two GTR's, a 33 GTS-T, a A31 Cefiro, Silvia... and Fro got pulled up... granted his is puffing smoke like a chimny... but I was just joking when he said he'd take the fall not us.... seriously... I didn't know!!...

Anyways... it was still a pretty good night... we had a cruise up Mount Archer... Actually... and you can repeat this if you all want... for being such a wild driver... pete is a GIRL in the passengers seat... he doesn't like it much... just ask Jay...

Actually do you know that there is a Mob down in Brissy... can't remember who but I saw it on the Net... and they are doing an Upgrade kit for the Turbo Falcon... it is a new Intercooler and piping and tweaked computer and a boost up... read and weap... 397 RWHP.... now that is neat out of a almost stock car... mind you I bet the GT40 Turbo helps it along.... when is someone going to be rich enough to buy one of them... it won't be long until Ford is destroying Holden on the streets.... and 397 at the wheels... doesn't matter that the Falcon weighs 1600 Kg... it'll still be super quick on the street... One to watch out for...

Hey Jay I was just searching through my User Cp and found PM's... it's interesting stuff that comes through there... I never new that voicing ones opinion was such a crime... and I can't believe that "other people" haven't worked out that there hasn't been one "fight" in the Spank camp since... anyway... If you need me to explain I'll chat to you later... don't want to get anymore angry PM's...

Alright Willo I will try to get onto it... I know the Jap product is quality... I am not arguing that fact (just covering my tail so no one thinks I am riding my high horse :rofl: ) anyway I will see what I can do for you... you definatly want a twin plate and something resonably bity but still livable??

    • 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).
