Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

R31 tie rod ends into S13 spindles looks spectacularly dodgy. You either have a castle nut with no split pin in it, or an upside down caslte nut, either way you don't get many threads on it. Thats the sort of thing I would expect to fail a RWC, but hey, I may be wrong :banana:

be careful where you say that... that's enough to be stripped of your 31 club membership :P

Not if he re-uses oil and a filter from his GTR or something

Anyone who's not working/busy on Thursday and wants to come on this drive:

let me or Jason know. We'll be leaving from the BP at Aspley at 9am.

hmmm... might take a 'strayen day...

GTR filter didnt fit :P Had to use an old one of dads...

Yeah tie rods will look dodge. I'll see if I can find a rubber cover for the castle nut lol

looks like a decent drive, but I will have to sort out my camber a bit before i do any fun runs, as the tyres scrub lightly on hard corners.

Man up. My tires scrub heavily on light corners, doesn't stop me :P

so do mine. I usually just steer with the back end instead.

The noise drives me nuts though.

And having 225's on 10 inch rims, I really don't have much confidence in the tyres staying on the rim if I corner particularily hard

I might get some gtr guards though, so will be able to put decent sized rubber on the fronts

ps. still got the flu, so another day of ps3. got god of war last night, so will give that a workout. just gotta summon up the energy to go for a bourbon run...

skip the boring highway bit...

Go from Aspley up through Petrie, head to Dayboro and then over Mt Mee...

This will bring you out at Woodford...

This way you skip all the boring highway bits and Mt Mee is an awesome ride/drive...

As from Woodforf the rest is good stuff, out to Kilcoy down the back of sommerset and over Mt Glo & Nebo and home...

Looks like my average northside Sunday ride...

    • 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).
