jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

:rofl: Too funny. Unfortunately all of our M35's are auto, so we cant have such fun :( I think my missus would love the challenge I was able to do something similar though.

just got my new clutch installed and gave the missus a try at driving it, she bunny hopped first, stalled on the change to second, restarted, stalled first. put the hazards and handbrake on (leaving the car in the lane) jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

haahah i can see that happening in my head.. just needs the classis "stop yelling at me, its tooo hard to concentrate with you yelling in my ear"

LOL, you should have said "not with that negative attitude, you're not" then laughed. Shame on her lack of commitment! :D

Hahaha. It sounds like your partners are opposite to my misses. She likes to give the 260RS a bit of a flogging and stir up the odd bogan. I bought her a Mini Cooper S with JCW kit and she complains it's too slow. Hits her favourite corner on the way home and has the traction control light flashing :)

Now we just bought an old Ford GT40 replica as a project car. That should be fun :)

So good when I was borrowing my housemates stag the other day, he told me to park it in the multi-story behind his work and there just happened to be a spare spot with a volvo v70 next to it in the same colour as his stag! Epic trolls, he was sad.

hehehehe, bloody nice car though :D

OK, as requested. It's not in great shape, but it's gonna be an awesome project.

It actually has a 350 Chev. Some people would say this is sacrilege, but who cares.

Needs moar 427c.i :thumbsup:

= awesome project!

just got my stagea last weekend and in the space of less than a week, i saw at least 1 volvo v-series wagon everyday...thought wtf is going on here?

then today went to one of my usual workshop to machine the rear rotors, the guy said to me that he thought it was a volvo...i just grinned and remembered how every other m35 owner has their first 'i thought it's a volvo' moment :D

  • 3 weeks later...

I just bought my Stagea in Melbourne on Friday. Went out to tea that evening and came back to the room to find a letter under the door:

"Mr Marshall,

We believe you are the owner of a White Volvo Registration ***-***.

Please note your headlights have been left on.

Kind Regards,

Reception"

That has to be some sort of record in Stagea-Volvo confusion! In my defence, it was only the inside light, not the headlights :P

had a few moments in the last week...

Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo...

Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

some seedy dude in dandenong told me he wanted to rear end my volvo. i drove off as quickly as i could.

:rofl2::whistling:

Classic.

Yep. I the short time I've had my car not one person has guessed its a Nissan. Pretty much all of them thought it was a Volvo. Its actually starting to shit me off a bit!

For some reason my mates missus thought my stag was a kia!!?? WTF?

Did ask him if he was going to slap her or if i should..

LOL, that's almost a justifiable reason to hit a woman! 'Sif Kia... :(

    • 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).
