shes pretty much done on the visuals.. just some ganador mirrors and some tidying up to go, maybe a gtr bonnet and grille. i was going for a plain and simple old school drift look.. i think ive achieved that.

so if y'all see me round newy, shoot me a wave, i dont bite

cheers

Looks friggin tuff as!

Raised bonnet FTW! Hows the temps in the engine bay? The oil temps should be slightly lower too...

See if you can get some rear pods for the rear bar too.

engine temps arent a drama anymore.. dont have oil temp gauge so dont know. just did it as a precaution.. its using a 76* thermostat, new radiator, new hoses, and redline water wetter.. just using a/c thermofan as the engine one shat itself, had some falcon thermos but were too heavy on the battery and didnt really change the temps. so they went. will probs just get a 17" thermo as engine fans are expensive as.

cheers for the comments. id like more low... but the exhaust is 60mm off the ground as is.. im gonna see if i can get it lifted up, but doubt it.. it just scrubs over big bumps, but no dramas otherwise. tyres are 215/30 and 235/35.

i dunno about the rear pods... i like it how it is.. you can see the muffler from the side.

will take some "proper" photos when this friggin rain clears.

cheers

no oil temp... shes just a lowly gtst.. got oil pressure.. which is lower everyday because she needs a rebuild.. haha, but no temp.

the rims are 17" Panasport G7's, fronts are 8.5" or 9" and rears are 9.5" or 10" offset is somewhere in the +20's i think.. they didnt have any stickers or marks on them and the rear was a rough measurement with the old 255 tyre on.. they came nowhere near fitting with 255s so dropped back to 235s and it just squeezes under the rear, ill flare them anyway though, its more of an estimation then a measurement.. either way, they sit exactly how i wanted them to and im stoked about it..

the fronts scrub the inner guards when turning left, so ill have to check that out.. bash something with a hammer. has stock suspension arms so no dialling of camber etc yet.

cheers

    • 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).
