Yea thats just part of owning an import. At least you're on the right track of fixing shit up first. But after everything's fixed, all your coin's gonna go into mods.

Not really having the same conversation as us are you? :D

Umm... no it won't. This car isn't a modifier. Apart from cosmetic modification it's not getting squat until I replace it as my daily. Then it can get modded and thrashed on the track.

That's it I don't crack the shits with it (even more so) and sell it.

thanks man, none of it is really anything I feel like attacking myself. I think I just need to save up some coin and get it a top to toe engine/electrical service

Yeah thats prob the best option . . . I tried to do a few things to mine when I first got it, I found myself cutting corners and dodging it up jus to get it back on the road . . . Getting someone else (EFI) to do it meant it was all done properly and professionally and I didnt have to worry about it.

buckshot + bonnet = speed holes FTW! :D

the FPV ones? Yeah, why?

my old rims ( the ninja photo ) i might be able to get them back from a mate. if so you can borrow my FPV ones if you like

Yeah after I get my cooler on in Feb, Im not doing any more mod's till it comes of the road in Sep and I replace it as my daily.

I still don't believe that photo exists :D

But I'd never knock back use of rims/tyres that won't get me killed!

Martin - Is it faily easy to install a switch for my reverse light so I can turn it on and off and not worry about getting booked?

I had to wait 5 mins yesterday for a cop to leave the car park before me... so of course I looked suss as buggery watching him, waiting.

true, at least it gets me from here to there for the moment.

However a $1500 datsun would have too... :D

Don't knock the datsuns!

Like a manual switch? Yeah that would be pretty easy.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
