PWR twin pass radiator, PWR transmission cooler and Blitz return flow intercooler all being ordered. Big thanks to Dan. Won't have my baby back for a few weeks however, but such is life.

Mangs. Mondays are ghey.

Start to the week didn't help. About two hours of sleep, plus I got projectile shat on at around 2am.

Now just grinding the day out till 4pm so I can fark off home and die

For those of you registered on the other site, heres another journey in to insanity.

so i take it the plan is not to sell it now?

Full ninja stealth? I must fail at detecting sarcasm today...

That may be so, but you certainly don't fail in the 'one of a kind radiator' department. 1 x custom built twin pass vertical row unit coming up!

Btw, I talked them down on price on the rad and optioned up a larger size on the cooler so same price but sick as cooling.

You also don't fail in the 'unique destruction of factory parts' department but that's a story for another bed time

Mmmmm.... Frosty cold components! Nicely done mate :) Once it's all back together and working I'll have to give the engine bay a good clean, get all that coolant off.

Here's hoping it takes them a little less time to build, but knowing my luck it will take them extra long because I'm a right special bastard!

Got your email regarding gauges as well, time for me to go hunting to see what I want there and figure out where/how they can be mounted.

I discovered something full of win today: the place I contract through offer free training and certification! I'm getting my Microsoft Certification, CEH, CCNA/P and a bunch of others including LIPC-1 figure it might come in handy one day.

    • 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
