time to quit work, set up a shed and go full time...

this shits real...

what tidying things up and reselling them?

what tidying things up and reselling them?

yeah sort of, more of a restoration project.

started with 2 bikes the same with the ambition of having one good one and the other as a parts/scrap bike.

but ended up finding enough bits via ebay & other online sales in Europe to make both return to former glory.

sold them both for double what they cost me, so it was pretty profitable.

but money made is better discussed over coffee between gentlemen & not online ;)

im only dreaming about doing it full time, i think 4-5 hours a week is considered a hobby.

I think if I did more than that it would be less about the fun i have doing it and more about paying bills.

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

Happy Laps yesterday was a great success. Much more fun weaving through traffic than being in open air, or in an XF, which was my last two happy laps sessions.

It was fun. i wasnt doing the weaving tho as i was being weaved past on numerous occasions! But that didnt bother me as it was awesome. Was fun going down the front straight with the sun blearing in your eyes at 180kph and not seeing anything in front.

I agree. Its good practice for future reference eh Smitz. :thumbsup:

Car is having weired electrical problems today...

In other news, seeing as how I don't have anything better to do this week, who wants to go whale watching at some point in time?

I'd be keen, any day.

I'll swing by around 3pm. Is that fine? Later/earlier isn't an issue either so let me know what's best for you.

done and noted.

Did some investigating today, looks like the loom under my drivers side front guard is 100% cactus, even after the repairs to it that Dan did for me. Looks like I found the cause of my electrical issues :(

What does the loom do? I though most of the time the ones in the guards were to do with headlights and indicators.

    • 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).
