Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Gtr has one turbo back on. Spent yesterday chasing parts an fixing the motorbike. Should have it back together Saturday i reckon maybe. Apart from one O2 sensor.

Spent a few hours pulling all of the interior out of a s3 ti today to put into the wagon. Only problem I can see is that the won't work with a ca20 and that the rear and front light plugs etc won't work on the pintara. Conections for the lights are east to change.. I think. And for the other problem I'm pretty sure I need to invest in a 30 for it.

Week has been super unproductive.

Kids been sleeping crap so motivation is at an all time low.

car has been sitting in the driveway for the last four weeks undriven, as it doesn't have a bonnet.

On the upside, my black ops kill to death ratio has been steadily improving over the past four weeks

anybody know of a r32 gtr front reo for sale. struggling to find one locally

may have to get one from adelaide.

option one had one there on a HCR32 nose chop. may pay to ask.

In a great end to the year my gearbox may be going the way of the dodo :(

After a little spirited driving this arfternoon it suddenly decided to put its self into "safe mode" or whatever it's called. 3rd gear only and the A/T light was up on the dash. Pulled over quickly, turned her off and let her sit for a little while. Struggled slightly when starting her back up, bit of a lurch and was back idleing like normal. Was a bit cautious on the way home.

Major sadface, can't afford an expensive mechanical issue, I wanted to buy an S13 in a couple of months.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Time to get our Go Kart date sorted. I can do after 1030am every Saturday and after 1130 on Sunday. If those time are fine, I'll call and secure a slot for us this coming week.

just watched Martins wrap up video, I really need to get my richness issue sorted out! At least I can accelerate under the cover of my smoke screen though, stealthy.

yep you have a bit of a smoke screen happening there :)

bunnings = win. looks like they have started selling pallet racking. bought two big racks and a lot of shelves. now my messy garage is now tidy :)

    • 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).
