Congrats everyone on their new rides, seem we have a few more people to take the p!ss out of now... but we'll wait a bit longer so we don't scare you away.

Which reminds me, best not to let Mick near you yet, cos we'd like you to hang around a bit longer LOL

If any of you are out with your new cars (and even if you're not driving your new car yet) swing by the hillclimb on Sutton Rd and say hi, there should be a few of us there.

not too sure what plugs are in it, thats just what i got as a summery.

in regards to boost - i thought 7 was the stock boost, so ive either got 155 on 7 or 10 pound. yay if it is 7psi. anyway of checking it?????

also anyone no the cost of installing a boost contoller off the top of there heads? looking to get 2 stage i think and the flip switch in the cabin hidden somewhere...... wouldnt mind winding it up a little, if its is at 7 then maybe 10, no higher than 12.

Also whats the 33 turbo rated too?????

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
