$300 - $400 for callipers and rotors off the top of my head. they are roughly the same size as r33 gtst brakes.

Yeah thats about what i thought! The rotors are the same size as the R33 they just have allot calipers that are lighter and stiffer apparently.

$475 for DBA rotors.

Have a set of them on the coon and they go alright for pulling up a barge. Better than factory anyway; bit more reassurance when heavily braking down a hill.

Yeah not looking to replace my rotors, looking to sell mine as i have better calipers and rotors to go on!

FFS forgot to sign Anna out

HI BROOO!!

Sarp Mangs!

BDO was awesome. Although we spent all our money and couldn't afford the bus/cab back to Surfers so we ended up walking from Parklands to Surfers. Took us like an hour n 45 mins to get back. Got to bed around 2am and then up at 5 to come in to work >_< Running on Mother and coffee :worship:

duuuuude! epic effort was epic

In other news... today I found a camping chair in the boot of my car... wtf?

Could be keen for laser force.

Make me feel like I am back in the motherland, but in the not so distant future, when SAU becomes self aware

It is indeed. I don't even remember you putting anything in the boot :huh:

Might have snuck it in when you were playing with spark plugs. Or you were just overwhelmed by NERF gun awesomeness :P.

Now that is strayen!

I have the same type of rotor but they're designed for coons, you can get the Ba/Bf ones for around 370 from Hiro. They would probably fit back to an AU since the use roughly the same hub assembly.

I'm sure with a couple of taps of reassurance you could Nissan ones on there though!

First day at new job today. What did I do? Nothing. Oh wait, I added someones user account to the Administrators group and that's about it. Shit story about being a contractor is they pay you in arrears, so I have to wait another 3 weeks until I see some dollar dollar bills yo.

Yeah being paid monthly sucks arse. I hated it.

That doesn't sound like lvl 3 support bro... :P

You watching Conception tonight?

7pm-ish?

I assume thats directed at me?

I have cricket tonight, but I also have no desire to watch inception, so feel free to start that without me.

If anything cool is going down after that I'll come round.

I have heard of people going to engineering companys like fitters and turners or something and getting them to slot or drill the rotors.

If it was an EL or something it would probably fit. You never know though.

Get paid weekly, but it's backed up 2 weeks or something. So at the end if your contract ends and it isn't renewed then you get paid for 2 weeks afterwards if that makes sense, because there's no holiday sick or public holiday pay. Somehow it works out. I don't know.

I don't really have an exact idea of what I'm doing but from what I gather it's less work than the computer store, but generally the same type of stuff just handling some giant companies and support to 2000+ people in total.

Are you in IT yourself?

Yeah, CBF with any of that, the car is worth like 5 bux (being generous).

If Nissan sh*t bolted on easy though (worth a shot, stud pattern is the same) I'd give that a crack. I'm sure I have nissan brakes lying around somewhere.

Ahh, that's odd. Oh well it will suck for the first few weeks but won't be too bad after that.

At one stage when I was working casual (full time but as a casual employee) I was getting paid monthly, but also with a delay of about a month from the end of the month till when I got paid. That sucked massively. I'm now full time and paid fortnightly, it's way better.

Are you in IT yourself?

Indeed.

    • 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).
