Something that's interesting to know.

Useful thread.

What's so good about the Colon Offset? Sounds like something Julia Gillard reffers to whilst talking about the National health system.....

I'm already dead inside. + I'm not cool enough to rock 0/- fitment. < +20 offset is fine for me

I too am not cool, i had to run a +12 *cuts*

:P

Bringing it next week so we can all ogle it? :D

I will try, Dan is doing the first part of the run in so it is not actually in my possession yet. But im going to go down on saturday and monday and put some more ks on it so I guess its a chance. I forgot how f**king loud it is, should probably do something about that.........nah :D

Dan's got that dB meter. Maybe ask him to get a reading for ya. I think he only charge like 10 or 15 bucks to test it.

Just drove my car, the love is back

Awesome. :P

morning mangs

Morning,

Sooo bit of drama on the way home last night. Got to around Browns Plains with Tony following me and the car started to overheat. Pulled over into the Maccas at Browns Plains and there was steam pouring out the engine bay. Not cool. So after 30mins trying to get the bonnet to open with no luck we jacked the car up and I got underneath to have a look. Bottom radiator hose had been patched with a bike repair kit :D So time to dodgy some shit up. Selleys kwik grip and some duct tape to the bottom hose and we were on our way again.

Decided I would probably only to get to Mum n Dads place rather than back to the coast. About 10mins from home the car starts to overheat again. I soldiered on until the Shell outside Jimboomba when the car conked out. Let it cool down again and drove it home. By the time I got it into the drive at Mum n Dads it was knocking pretty badly so 31 is dead.

Anyone got a RB30e long motor they want to sell?

I can have a good guess as to what the result will be....large scale failure!

Awesome. :P

    • 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).
