Sorry People's But..................


Recommended Posts

Picked this up from the toll depot today.

The missus has been in need of a car for quite a while now but for many reasons we haven't been able to afford what we wanted. We'd finally paid off what we needed to and agreed on the car you see, this in itself took quite a while as we all know what women are like.

Its a 2001 Mitsubishi Evo VII

Its stock as a rock and goes like a cut snake, for a stock car it handles and goes so well.

I only have pics at the moment from when it was in Japan but i'll add some fresh ones this weekend.

I'm going to trial fit the rims from the skyline and see how they look tomorrow.

The skyline is still for sale too if anyone is interested!

i guess i'd better add some pics from the weekend!

used a tank of fuel (only has a 40/45L tank) did 10L/100kms and half that driving was certainly spirited.

I'm a Nissan boy at heart and think i always will be but this car is amazing.

Its stock as a rock and would beat my 250+rwkw skyline with lots of suspension mods through the hills!

Sorry about the quality of pics, they were taken on just a 2mp camera phone.

...oh and change your username immediately, traitor!

i still have an rb though chef, haha!

my nik on evo oz isn't mr_rbman though!

very nice mate, how long will it stay stock for? :)

and dont worry i wont think bad of you for owning a mitsy at least its not a magna :D

the missus will be driving it everyday for work so it wont get too heavily modded, probably just and exhaust and rims and maybe a remap down the track!

    • 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).
