Morning Mangs,

+1

Been here since 7, for that entire time managers have been sitting here with their morning chit-chat routine, preventing me from wasting time on SAU etc :D

How was the weekend?

Good. Won the WDC in a williams, and got a drive in a red bull alongside hitler's youth for next season. G27 is kick arse.

Also regreased all my bushes (that's what she said), car is considerably less squeaky now. Brakes still a bit squeaky and so are the front swaybar links. The swaybar links are pillowball with no grease nipple - I'm not sure how to lube them up. Ideas?

MTB is at the shop to day to get the gears adjusted and brakes fixed up. He didn't seem too optimistic about the brakes though :down:

Sounds like a successful weekend. It was raining all weekend on the coast so I did some assignmenting at uni on Saturday arvo then went home had kfc watched movies and played poker. Sunday I did all my shopping and cleaned the unit then played more poker lol. Played 6k hands and broke even. So lame.

Good moaning.

Morning Mangs,

It was ok. Got stuck inside on Saturday due to the rain and had to watch the AFL GF. It wasn't so bad as I had beers, chips and other assorted artery hardening food stuffs.

Moar grease on teh brakes?? :D

The only way Ican think to lube up the swaybar endlinks is the remove them.

So glad I didn't have to watch either of those GFs... GayFL FTL.

Yeah need to borrow Dan's copper grease again so I can lube them up.

I can remove them, but how to i get grease into the pillowbally bit without a grease nipple?

Nice fail recipe

Mangs,

Weekend was decent. Went to Movie World on Saturday and got some cool t-shirts. Watched some LOST and ate KFC on Sunday.

TAFE is boring today. All repeat info on OH&S. Might pass the time with some Stephen King.

how so?

Probably f**ked calipers. Bleed them up but can't get any feel to them.

f**kin win. The 31 is going to be in a movie :(

WinRar

Do it, you skirt

Got outbid on the head because I'm too much of a lowballer for the buy it now price. Auction didnt meet the reserve anyway but ahwell.

    • 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).
