Ahh, one of them big magic fuses that actually supplies 12V hey?

yep.

been working on/off it for the last two weeks whilst doing other work. I now have 3 full days on it to get the battery moved properly. toss two battery disconnects in place (one drops the alternator inside the car.) take out the AC wiring, rewire the heater,rear demister and fix a lot of electrical niggles in it. right now I'm doing 0 AWG body earths on it using double jacketed flame proof wiring on the lot.

its a fairly full on job and I'm documenting a lot of it o camera.

And here I was all along thinking it was a battery that did that.

Where can I get one of these fuses Chris?

Sounds like fun. Keen for photos.

ppfffttt... batteries are so 20th century. Magic fuses are where it's at :thumbsup:

He's ok. Sore neck and collar bone but no visible injuries.

He's in a neck brace and on the magic puffer.

Car is most likely a write off. If Jeremy allows it can post some pics later.

Bags went off.

He was going straight, little old lady was coming the other way. Somehow failed to see him and attempted to turn right, right in front of him.

Don't think he even got a chance to brake.

Forgot to say, little old lady is fine as well.

Didnt see her before she was taken to hospital, but the paramedic said she was fine.

I have Jeremy's blessing, so will post some pics when I get home, 4ish

if he gets it back that will allow him to fix the cefiro :)

but yes that is definitely a write off.

Would be a pretty big job. n/a ceffy would have 4 stud hubs so would probably need to swap all the brakes and hubs out as well.

In the second shot you can see the ass end of the corolla wagon that the old lady was driving

forgot to take any photos of that, but it was worse off, with the whole front end completely crumpled in, with the windscreen broken, and the pillars creased.

Not sure,

I was taking photos of the car when Jeremy was talking to the cops

I could be putting words in his mouth, but I think he didn't even have time to brake, so 60ish, and probably 20 odd k's that she was doing.

    • 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).
