Ok guys,

Just an updated thread, because the other one was what, 11 pages?? And if someone is going to want to come on my cruise they aren't going to want to sort through 11 pages of crap :D haha.

So.

Cruise this Sunday, August 17th.

Meeting at 1pm, at Tennyson.

Heading South along the coast, making a few stops in between where I'll be taking photos of the beasts lol.

And finishing up at Maslins Beach (no getting nakie :P)

If you haven't already received the route details from me, send a PM my way with your email, and i can email the route details to you, as they are in a word document :D

Also, if you ARE coming, could you please just write a short post on here to let me know, so then i know what sort of numbers to expect.

Cheers for that guys!! Can't wait :D

-Charmaine

I'm going to have to bail!

Last night, I noticed a drop in oil pressure, so I pulled over, checked my oil and found I had lost 50% of oil in only a week. Drove around the block, had white smoke pissing out the exhaust. Stopped, checked oil again and had lost even more oil!

There's no knocking or strange sounds, still revs smoothly right up to 8k and it still pulls hard.

Thinking it's the rings or turbo oil seals - more likely the oil seals, as at high boost ever since I had the car I've had a small amount of white smoke coming out, but only at high boost. It's been doing that for a good few months, so now I think it's finally given way! Car will be off the road until mid-October now due to lack of funds! I'm not happy at all.

I've booked it in @ Boostworx so I can get a compression test to make sure it isn't the rings. It doesn't sound like a rex, so I haven't dropped a piston either!

    • 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).
