Jus thought I'd let anyone know that the Motokhana in the K-Mart car park in Gladstone is on this Sunday starting from about 9 or 10 am. If anyone wants to come down, let me know. Otherwise enjoy your cruise dudes. It's sounds like it's going to be really good.

It would be awsome to change the cruise from Yeppoon to Gladstone... would anyone be interested in going to Gladdy instead for this Motokhana... it would be interesting... although it is tuff finding enough fuel to get there and back...

tell me what you all think??

or does it stay as a beach run??

Rick do you reckon you could organise the beach boys for a cruise to Gladrock??

Hmm... I really have to do something about my info on www.garagespank.tk

it's just that the plans for it are nothing like what I was going to do to it a couple of months ago... Although atleast it does have a T28 on it... to bad it isn't a S15 turbo... but it still a big upgrade from the CA turbo that was on it...

Actually is anyone interested in rising rate fuel pressure regulators... I want to order in a batch of these AMOS ones... cheap... different... did I mention cheap...

It's just they come from America so if anyone is interested in this great product... pm me or something just cause I want to order in one for myself and one for Phill's GQ patrol... so while I'm at it... should order in bulk... I'll try to get a price put up on that spank website soon... just so if anyone wants one of these cheap regulators they can call me... either that or they can order them in themselves of course...

the trouble with silvias is their independent front end, they just dont have the articulation or cross up. dont get me wrong, there great on road, but its was the wombat holes in the latest "tuff import challenge" where they come unstuck. but i dont know maybe someone out there has bombed one up with a 24in lift and possibly 38in tyres(not rims). but like i said, i just dont know.

Yeah Brocky Cutter I have done extensive modifications to mine and I still lift a wheel going over a gutter... they just don't seem to have the flex of a full bombed "floating"front end skyline...

although silvias always beat them in the uphill climb... It's a tuff decision but air lockers fix the flex problem...

    • 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).
