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

    • 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
