right...these are being finalised today...a couple of pricing options too. Will post up all the info soon.

Any chance I can just purchase the Air-Con Replacement Pump Mount bracket ? (since I am in Canada and it will be a waste to ship everything over here).... ?

Let me know and thanks.

Add me to the list, price pending...I will likely be going through with this modification with or without the help of this kit...f**k all that WAY overpriced japanese shit.

I would like to see the price and what the options are for a RB25, but i would be interested in buying a kit just for the peace of mind in knowing that its not an internal one and it is servicable without an engine out experience.

brackets are being anodised this week...they are engineered and CNC'd by the guys who make the oil and water pumps for the Triple 8 V8 Supercar team...suffice to say they are world class in both design and finish.

As soon as JWAuto send me a pic of the finished brackets ill post it up.

Yes its been a long time coming but a change in supplier and engineering shop fabricating the brackets will have been worth it in the end.

Hey Dirt, with shipping and other charges to worry about for us International people, would WE be able to simply purchase the Brackets Only ? or maybe pump/bracket ? then worry about the rest ourselves ?

I already have an ATI balancer that I am purchasing a mandrel for, that I want to use (rather than the Ross) and the lines etc would be esy to do up here, with nothing but a small package coming overseas then to save $$.

What do you think ?

Yes...pump and bracket will be available through JWAuto...They are very busy preparing for Bathurst 1000 this week but should have some brackets ready.

    • 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).
