which reminds me lukey.....my turbo needs to go on soon as well....so let me know of the costs involved :)

lol, dude, diy. only reason mine took so long is im f**king lazy.
Yep, easy on a single turbo car, GTR on the other hand = PITA!

If you want Krishy, I can lend a hand

Does it need to be on a hoist??? if so then i can organise a time to borrow luke's hoist and that way there will be 3 or 4 or 5 of us trying to get it done lol.....i am very mechy challenged when it comes to things like this....will let you know when the pipes are all made luke

That should be fine if u guys wanna do that. Best if it's a Saturday arvo through to a sunday if u like.

Just let me know when.

once the pipes get made then we can sort something out

lol dude. mine was done on the floor of my garage with a 50 buck jack, and 40 bucks worth of stands.

hoist would make it marginally easier, but its not necessary.

yeah that plus i got no tools.....so makes life a whole lot easier

youd be about the only skyline owner i know without a took kit. :banana:

just need a simple socket set, couple spanners, and maybe a breaker bar.

speaking of hoists though, might make my engine mount replacement a whole lot easier...

yeah I did my turbo changeover on jack stands .... actually can make it a bit easier to get those damn fiddly banjo bolts lined up when you sit under the car and jam yourself whilst contorted into the position you need to be. But yes, I still think overall a hoist would be much easier.

Yeah and +1 to wtf on no tools .... how can you own one of these forever being modded and breaking down pos's without a huge box of tools? :banana:

    • 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).
