So I took my car to 3 different exhaust places today to try to sort out an 80-82mm dump...

Exhaust Place #1 - What the f**k is that? Where it the turbo? A Nissan what? (outcome for anyone concerned - $600est for mild steel)

Exhaust Place #2 - Is it for that? What is it?? "Looks nice. Yep, quite nice" (outcome - couldn't see how the dump could come off. Bolt is longer than the space available)

Exhaust Place #3 - What the hell is that?!? "Looks nice. Sorta like a Volvo.. Audi.. something. Um, Volve rear, Audi front and something middle" (outcome - it is illegal to remove a part of the pipe if it has the cat installed in it... Sorry mate). As an aside, I was concerned when I said I wanted an 80mm dump pipe and his response was to show me an 80mm muffler tip... experts, eh?

So after wasting an hour today, a nice looking, VolvoAudiNissan "What" is what my car was described as today... take from that what you will

So you car is a VAN (VolvoAudiNissan)...lol

I had a guy come up and asked me why would I put a unicorn on my car (he throught it was a custom badge or something)...I told him what it was and still wouldn't beleive me, he seriously thought it was a volvo and I was just being rice and putting unicorns and nissan badges on it. I just kept laughing

Now I get the same 'looks like a VOLVO' crap in NZ and the more I look at the car the LESS it looks like a VOLVO!

I mean, show me an OVLOV that has a teardrop roof line and a volumptuous body line with smooth bulging arches, not to mention the smoth yet masculine front end.

The only thing that makes it remotely similar to the rounded off brick that is a VOLVO wagon is the tall tail lights.

People must be either blind or completely unable to recognise geometric shapes. I parked next to a V70 the other day and the shape was completely different. :P

Everytime i pull up to my friends nov they call my stag "volvo" or "740". =/ And it's only because i'm the worst volvohater you can find in sweden, and we got those things everywhere. Can't remember a day that i parked that i hadn't got a volvo beside me. =/

:O ... but I still don't see how anyone can confuse a C34 with any model Volvo :)

Maybe the rear end is similar to the late 90's Toyota Camry in Australia, but not a Volvo.... my M35 on the other hand :P

Dropped my stag off for nistune chip and Dyno tune last week. Unfortunately the manager wasn't there so I had to drop it off with the apprentice. Later when I came to pick the car up the guys said the apprentice had called them and said "some bloke has just dropped his volvo off to get tuned or somethin". :D

He'd never seen a stag before. Funny, it's the first time anyone has thought my stag was a vovlo. As iamhe77 said, I don't reckon the c34's look much like a vovlo. Unless they have an r34 front end conversion :)

    • 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).
