John Q4 Brera aren't too bad, heavy and slow i think though other people have different thoughts, pretty much the engine in it is what you guys call the SIDI i think. It uses the GM global V6 bottom end with alfa's own design direct injection twin cam variator head, which holden then used.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Was thinking of maybe looking at one, but maybe not now. SIDI engines are a terrible design from a working on it/modifying it perspective. Not much of an improvement on the Alloytech really.

Where at!...Your place ?

The late late show with Craig Ferguson, he has a robot skeleton as a side kick...

Its on the new "hello" channel at 10:30pm week night, very funny...

He says random stuff like "sex party" and "in your pants"...

There's a gremlin living in the front drivers side of my car I think. Wheel bearing needed to be replaced there, the window actuator doesnt work there and doing a simple job like replacing my brake pads turned into an overnight stay due to losing a copper washer off the brake line causing fluid to go everywhere.

nice work. I say fix it enough to sell and buy a 31! haha.

Today while at indro, andy spotted me, and then i spotted twocents, he didn't see me, but i saw him coming out of the cinemas

Had a chick in tonight who was wearing a little black vest as a top. Only thing was that she didn't have it done up and had these little butterfly stickers over her nipples. So much win, especially when she was dancing at the bar ;)

Morning Mangs,

I like boobs.

Drove the 31 to work today. Much win and awesome. Must try to find time to call EFI today...

Successful day !

I paid my monies but haven't heard back yet :(. Andy must be slacking...

Lowball club cruise = great success :thumbsup:

@Colin: Won't actually see you Thursday, will be in Melbourne town :D

Lowball cruise was great. Ah true mang. Definitely need to hit up the F1 next year.

Wash your colon, GTR

Yeah it's pretty filthy. Got this weekend off though so I'll wash it then.

Oh and Morning Mangs

Yeah it's pretty filthy. Got this weekend off though so I'll wash it then.

I can ask John to put his pink bikini on and wash your car for you?

Where is young John these days? Doesn't post much anymore.

    • 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).
