Good luck! Did it snap? :(

I meant that I'm hoping that I'm not the one who causes the valves to get munched up after I've chnaged the bellt :P it hasn't snapped, but it's overdue and I won't be at all surprised if it's skipped a tooth or two. My car is running like absolute shite lately.

Speaking of which... anyone seen or know of any good deals for air/intake/engine hoses/lines? Some of mine really need replacing. Going to change my oil pump next service, and maybe my fuel pump.

If only our IT people felt the same way!

There's probably a reason they are stuck at 1st level support in a govt organisation :P.

I wouldn't cross fingers, it makes it hard to put bolts in

I normally just use my mouth...

Ahh good. You'll be right, it's not a particularly difficult job. There's marks on the cam gears and the plate behind em to help you get it all lined up right.

I bought like a 10m roll of fuel hose off ebay to redo all my fuel lines. It was good quality sh*t and way cheaper than buying it from a local rip off merchant.

All the specialised intake/engine type ones I got straight from nissan (it helps to have the part numbers). The majority of them are pretty reasonably priced, but it does add up if you do a lot of them. You could also look at the silicon kits off ebay, but I don't know if they do them for a 20. They didn't do em for a 25 when I looked.

Disappointing form tonight, two events in two nights too much for you?

Good news though, my phone has been shipped :)

drove past around 9pm, nobody to be seen

figured a decision was made the night before to give it a miss this week

    • 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).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
