attn Miso: Are you replacing all your brakes mang or just the fronts? What are you doing with the old ones?

Just the fronts at the moment. Don't have any bigger calipers/rotors for the back yet.

Was thinking of selling the old set. You looking for some brakes for project alfa?

I am sure we can work something out in exchange for your assistance to fit the upgraded brakes, and maybe a upper thigh deep tissue massage

Yeah I'm thinking I might try and fit some 32 brakes to the alfa. Should stop it on a dime.

Sounds like fun :D

Just let me know when you got time.

When we get them off, you can just keep them.

You sir, are an extremely generous bosni-serbo-croat!

I shall have to at least buy you a carton of *insert preferred beverage here*

On a similar awesome note, I just found the old rears off my car, so that will make a nice semi-matching set, assuming I can find suitable rotors for the rear....

As to time, yeah well that's the issue...

Sat morning I think I'm out, Saturday arvo is a possibility, pending what everyone else is doing.

Sunday I'm probably out - although if that's the time that suits everyone I think I can make it work.

Next weekend is good, but Dan will be away, and his expertise will be useful when doing brakes. We could try to tackle them without him but? Le mans 24 hour is on too, always fun to have something to watch while mechanicalising

Thoughts?

Jason, what still needs doing on your car? You got those boost fittings sorted yet?

No probs, next sat arvo is free. Probably suits me best, as there is no footy in Bris for me to go and watch, and have no games on.

The weekend after is ok, but I am on call for work, so might have to spend a bit of time on the phone.

We can work out a carton of something, and you can assist me in drinking it.

That's excellent news, especially since the latest bp oil leak in the gulf of mexico. little baby seals are thanking you now for ridding them of excess oil.

One of the many services myself and my car provide.

I should get a medal for it

That sucks dude... any idea why?

Also does anyone have a rear set of shocks for a 32 GTS-T? Stock or aftermarket...

I may be able to get my hands on some stocker 33 ones. Would that help?

Mechanical issues fall outside my area of expertise.

I was just after the technical terms sheesh

Jason's blown a turbo seal from his mega super infinity boosto!

Is that technical ? :happy:

That would be my guess also, but its just a guess.

I was just after the technical terms sheesh

The flux capacitor has deteriorated causing a feedback interference loop with the syncromesh gear ionisation device, resulting in dilution of the mechanical lubrication fluid, causing it to evaporate in the combustion chamber and/or bypass the piston sealing devices.

Is that technical ? :happy:

Define technical :thumbsup:

dont fit.

That's what she said

The flux capacitor has deteriorated causing a feedback interference loop with the syncromesh gear ionisation device, resulting in dilution of the mechanical lubrication fluid, causing it to evaporate in the combustion chamber and/or bypass the piston sealing devices.

Now THAT is technical

It's like... putting too much air in a balloon... and... something bad happens!

    • 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).
