^ Totally agree with the above.. Illegal unless registered as 2 seater..

Prevents fully sick drifters driving around with stripped out cars.

Huh? Fully sick drifters... isnt that an oxy-moron? :thumbsup:

removing rear seats gives me alot more room for tyres its not just about making it lighter :D

You're better off eating a lighter breakfast than removing the seat.. It only weighs a kilo or two anyway. Only way to fit a set of semi's or drift tyres is to remove it though :)

interesting read, but if u did register it as a 2 seater how much would it cost, or is it more cost effective to do it around rego time? whats the exact process and prices involved? if someone can list this it would be awesome

Basically all you need to do is remove the rear seats and the rear seat belts. Then go to a mechanic and get a blue slip to change from 4/5 seater to 2 seater (around $90) from memory. Then off to the rta to lodge it with them and thats it.

I dont think its that simple, im pretty sure you need to either weld up the holes from the seat belts or put bolts in them and then take it to an engineer, blue slip guys cant engineer things, they read what the car has been engineered for and then say yes the car is like that, so you'd need to carry out the work on the car, get an engineers cert for it, then take it with the engineers cert to get a blue slip place then that place would pass you on the inspection as a two seater car then you take it to the rta and re register it as a two seater

      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).
