Thanks Pauly. Rumours get around in this scene faster than if my missus was telling her girlfriends!!

It's true that I am leaving Extreme Magazine to take up a new position and even though it's only a little while away, I just can't wait to get stuck in.

I've been reading this mag forever and I'm wrapped to be a part of it. Tough, turbocharged cars that go hard. Right up my alley!

To think I only just stopped buying it because I got sick of wall to wall rotary powered drag cars.

Maybe it can return to its old eclectic self with the technical content reinstated...........

been reading this magazine for forever. congrats man

i remember the boost controller they made with a knob off an old stereo, air hose from a fish tank and some no.8 fencing wire. It was put together using a ball pein hammer, an allen key from a flat pack kitchen and a tube of silastic.

ahh those were the days.

yeah there was some good shit floatin around. do you reember an article on the blue stanza that was converted to methanol? man that thing was dodge as f*ck, but it ran low 11's from memory, fuel pump was a mechanical item off an ice cream truck with random holden water pump parts crammed in to make it work lol

Awesome news ;) I might start reading Zoom again....What will the new name be?

"Backyard Bob's Best Boosted Bits" i think.

What about the mad electric Supercharger made from the impeller off an old Simpson washing machine hooked up to a Valiant wiper motor fed by 2 dolphin torch batteries with corrugated pool hose piping...those guy's were nuts!

    • 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).
