4 months of skyline ownership and yet to get any attention from the boys in blue. I feel unloved. Maybe this is a sign i need to take my exhaust off or something to attract some attention.

edit: to be fair though, i don't daily drive it.

edit edit: and of course i didn't realise there was another page of stuff here

I dunno about that, still never been pulled over other than at RBT.

I generally only get pulled over when I deserve it.

Except for that one time, when they pulled me over because I honked the horn at someone who didn't give way to me at a roundabout...

Eggggggzackery, Where you drive, when you drive and How you drive are the difference between getting pulled over non stop and barely getting a glance

PRO TIP: Dont drive down blunder road on a weekday during business hours

I never get pulled over.

You just get tonnes of free photos in the mail

Hello ya bunch of skirts.

After some opinions on highflows. I have the oportunity to buy a secondhand GCG highflow with apparently only 5000km's for $1200 delivered. This could be a winner, but the thought over getting a Hypergear jobby for less and is 'new' is appealing.

The only 'benifit' the GCG unit has is that it used a BB CHRA unlike the Hypergear and that you can use the standard oil feed line. The downside of the GCG is that it is a R33 item (Stagea uses R34 turbro) and I have seen a few of them requiring a rebuild after 20thousand kms.

I think I'm leaning towards the Hypergear as it also comes with a 60k warranty if installed correctly....

Thoughts? discuss.

    • 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).
