Hey guys,

I was at the meet on Thursday, the one with the 32 4 door.

Just to note, it was Destro the white R32 GTR that kept stalling... not me =)

Have to come again sometime and try get to know who is who properly.

Cheers,

Ben

Yet another day in paradise.

Handing in my resignation tomorrow. Gonna go look for some mining work either up north or out west.

+1 Let me know what you find, want to start after xmas

+1 Let me know what you find, want to start after xmas

I have already done some mining end of 90's start of 00, so just seeing if there is anybody left at mt isa that I know that can swing me a job

otherwise having a look around rocky etc, or worst case scenario, there is a fair bit of work over in WA. Just trying to avoid going back there.

I might go back to sleep :)

No Thursday nights free for a while however :( got one off in three weeks however, and made sure I have the day off for the SCC.

And so it begins. Another week of shit. At uni yesterday and I had 18 missed calls :domokun:

Same here... BN renewal, domain+hosting, car rego, car insurance - it's depressing seeing mail from these all on the same day :(

Cameron's body shop did a buff on my front bonnet about a month ago... yesterday I found out all they did was polish it to hide the swirls after I gave the car a wax/polish strip wash :(

Shit loads of their buffer swirls have shown up lightly in the sun. Only on the bonnet luckily where they buffed.

Any recommendations on swirl removal products (Not hiding them)?

It's just my bonnet. I have an orbital buffer but would much prefer a hand job...

smity42 - thats what she said

Cheers for any advice guys. me = :(

    • 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).
