Grrrrrrr can't get damn cat out..... it's held in well with studs + bolts. Got the bolts off but the studs it seems are welded to / are a part of the cat.

Any tips?

Do I have to remove the whole back section of the exhaust to get the cat out? I think I just realised this to be true :P

just work with the wiggle room

exhaust is on hangers, should be able to move it back a bit to get the cat out

its a c*nt of a job on my car, thats why i decided i wasnt going to swap the decat pipe in every track day after doing it once

LOL, found dad's old paperwork for the ride on:

He bought it second hand in 1994, and it was old then:

'twas an 8HP apparently (I thought it was less) but that engine blew up.

He bought the new 10.5HP engine in 1998, at the time it was the biggest one we could get that fit:

I'm not sure how old the mower itself is exactly but I did find the instruction book:

If you look down the bottom, you can note the SIX DIGIT phone number.

Now I remember going from 7 to 8 digits some time in primary school, but 6?

Some quick research, and this very informative page tells me that "Brisbane went to 7 digits in 1975". Therefore, we can conclude that the beast is older than 1975. Thats 35+ years!

And note: it is a mini tractor, not a ride on :P. EEESSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, you can (could) even get tractor attachments for it:

Definitely needs turbo love

Don't talk to me about ride on trailers, made that mistake once, hung over after new years, we decided to ride in the trailer to clean up the mess we made couldn't find the holding pin to keep it on, going down the hill very fast and the trailer popped off, catapult anyone?

bugger

we could MAKE a trailer for it

matter of fact, there is a small box trailer in the back yard I doubt has any chance of ever getting road registered. Could convert it to a tractor trailer

    • 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
