cant nick, im taking tomorrow off work to do the radiator as i need a wagon to move some stuff for family on saturday :P

which means going to the office tonight to get it.

sorry guys but ill be there next week for sure!!

Hey sorry for disappearing. Got caught at lights then stopped by the boys in blue. And didn't know where you were going.

Was wondering where you got to...

What happened with the boys in blue, and where was this?

Coming down the hill into gosford I slowed down as a fpv latched onto me. Was undercover and stopped for " erratic driving". Let me off wiu warning after much bs. Then further down the road ( erina maccers) got rbt. Last but not least got stopped by defect station when I left. No fines luckily.

Well they ran it like defect station. They did rbt then got me to open bonnet and Let me go. Others were getting same treatment. Worried I was goin to be booked for pod but got warning.

OK, notes for next time - we NEVER go to Erina McDonalds because that's where all the d!ckhead trouble-makers hang out. We meet in the carpark at Fountain Plaza in Erina, then at about 10pm we head to West Gosford McDonalds to grab a quick feed and/or drink before heading home around 11pm (or earlier, depending on what time you want to get home).

We've got permission from the owner(s) of the Plaza to hang out there, and the local cops leave us alone because they know we're not there being idiots like some of the crowd in the area...

rbt AND defect station in one?

can they even do that? i thought it was one or the other

Yeah they can do it, I have gone past a few like that before, remember seeing a huge one near Mascot airport once that was RBT, blood testing and defect station all in one. They had closed 2 lanes of traffic near peak hour for it :thumbsup:

  • 1 month later...

Ok, its Thursday tomorrow. Which means this- whos in for the ride?

I think Iain should be putting those new shocks and brakes into action, see how they go? Who else is free?

(Jetwreck prob deserves a early night after being shoved under a car by Iain...)

    • 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).
