Anyone booked a room so i can crash on the floor? I can bring my own small matress and sleeping bag lol
yeah Luke you are welcome to camp on the floor of Sled and my room

LOL Luke, what's worse than sharing a prison cell with Bubba.........a motel room with Bubba and his twin!! :blink:

EDIT: ....and on that note....

dude, dont forget mitch hasnt had his car on the road for awhile...........so this weekend might mean something to him.

and steve, personally i would think if you have that attitude, then you shouldnt enter car shows. cause its just a show remember.

well doesnt look like im coming to kadina now

engine is missing a idler pulley and a tensioner pulley which i didnt get with the engine and the car is ment to be at Turbo Tune at 8am tomorrow

and the place everyone is staying at is booked out

one massive alotment of fail in my favour

Mitch, didn't you get the engine from Turbo Tune? If so, isn't it acceptable that they provide the pulleys and all to get the job done?

There will be more car shows anyway mate. Get the car done, don't rush, and set your sights on the next show.

:laugh:

Nah ruby ,i bought the engine off here (click) and the guy i got it off hasnt found any of the missing parts resulting in me having to go chase them down at wreckers and buy them.

ive already spent $1k on this engine without including the price i bought the motor its self for...

its been off the road for 5 months as of this Friday and i was planing it to be ready by then and in time for Kadina but that doesn't look like its going to happen at this stage ;)

mitch prob better anyway not to use kadina as a shake down run with your car, it would suck to break down out of town. are you still coming for a look see anyway?

highly doubt it right now , only have access to one car right now , which is why i need this back on the road

and steve, personally i would think if you have that attitude, then you shouldnt enter car shows. cause its just a show remember.

lol sorry im not 'the fast and the furious' enough. its just a show, if u make it, great, if not, so what. theres plenty of shows all year. but i guess if u get emo over something so insignificant..

and mitch, even if u did get ur car running, i wouldnt risk taking it all the way to kadina to run the engine in. there still may be a few bugs to iron out. and a tow back to adelaide would be an expensive experience.

woot woot cannot wait now.....time for the party to begin.....sucks to hear that off your ride Mitch....was really looking forward to seeing it in the show mate...but what can you do....just dont rush things thats the best to go forward mate....goodluck

    • 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).
