Hey hope you get it sorted....if you contact fair trading they start with a phone call to the vendor pointing out their obligations to you...alot of times this is all that is needed...if that doesn't work you register with fair trading for a hearing. I think it costs $30 to register..I did this once and the vendor didn't turn up so I won by default...anyway good luck with it..

Btw can you PM the name please...

It's travelling ever so slowly at the moment. I went and saw the guy who has looked at the gearbox (keith from Greenacre automotive mechanics or something along those lines) who is an extremely nice guy and he basically said he would only consider putting a box like that in if the customer took full responsibility for the consequences! He pointed out that there was chips, scratches and grooves all over the input gear and would undoubtedly cause the gearbox to make constant noise when driving. I think that was his main angst but did point out some other minor things but the main point he did make was if he was to start replacing gears it would easily be more expensive than purchasing another second hand box.

He was also nice enough to offer to call the guys who supplied the box to point this out to them too. I'm doubtful they will listen to him as they are yet to listen to anyone haha but It's nice to see what people are willing to do to help a fellow car lover out. Least this time they cannot just simple ignore what this guy says as he is a gearbox specialist and knows his shit back to front. :)

Thought I'd keep you guys updated and I'll post again soon when I find out what they say to this guy and after I write my letter of demand!

    • 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
