^ updates is I'm slowly killing it. It's gonna be on stockys for a while and will probably lose the screamer soon. I have plans though, it should be repping a bit of retro coolness when they are put into motion (money permitting).

I should be out at lala again for the next prac though. I'd like to have my seat in by then and some solid mounting of the cradle would be nice but I doubt I'll get around to that.

Seat is in and I grabbed a 30mm bosskit spacer as well. Bloody hell it feels good to drive now. Locked in place with the Bride and being able to get a near perfect driving position with the steering wheel nice and close makes it a joy to throw around. Even though no mechanical mods were done, I reckon it's easier to catch slides and feel what the car is doing.

Bring on July 6th :)

The other bloke from Jack Baker has a 4door very similar to this one, it was probably him.

The screamer is a novelty at times, but I don't like announcing to the world that I'm giving my car shit every time it hits full boost :lol: and I also don't want it to be heard 5km away if I'm giving it curry through the hills.

Slight update

Car is getting quietened up next week, getting the screamer replaced with a 3in bellmouthed dump/front, and getting an extra muffler put into the exhaust.

I also should have aero sorted for it by next week, and hopefully next weekend it should be ready for fitment, although I'm still deciding whether or not to wait until my rims arrive.

On the topics of rims, Yahoo auctions eats my money :P I have a pair of 16 x 8 +20 SSRs on the water, and have just bid on a set of 16 x 8/8.5 Weds meshies :)

I've seen a few nice 16 x 9s but haven't had the coin thus far, and it looks like the 16 x 10 -1 SP1s were a freak discovery, as I haven't seen anything in 10j since ;)

Missed out on the Weds, but theres a very tasty pair of SSR formula meshies in 9J +12 I shall be having a crack at :D

I also niggarigged the front lip up for a laugh, and f**k me it looks ghetto fabulous. I'm tossing up whether to paint it up or not, as it looks quite cool in black. I'll get some pics in a minute or 20.

Wing is sitting in a coat of clear so I could probably fit it all up as is, but the original plan was to paint the lip.

    • 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).
