yeah i will give it some WD love tomorrow, then finish bleeding the brakes and i can drive it again :happy:

booked in for an epic expensive wheel alignment on thursday (getting the rear control arms bent to adjust camber)

Who is doing it? I'm happy with my alignment.. But not. Would like to get it checked by a 2nd party.

Lets share a fetus.

i thought tristan and you were sharing a fetus already? or did you not plant your seed deep down enough?

lol so was I. but I was too busy postwhoring on misfits to register an on SAU lol.

You know your old school when you know what misfits was,

lerl @ all the newbie plebs in here

Well 3 corners are down, one to do in the morning and then just got to replace my rear cross member bushes and its ready to get an alignment :happy:

All went relatively smoothly apart from getting the front upper link arms to line up with the holes properly lol. Rear shock was a prick to get off but got there in the end.

Looks much better now although I think the rear could still come down 10mm. We'll see how it looks once the other side has been done and its had time to settle :mad:

Pics are coming tomorrow :D

Did you put a coke can at the bottom?

y u want to sell it josh?

I'll do you a straight swap for the XF :happy:

I only bought it for the wheels, then had a soft spot for it as it went pretty well with the turbo, but alas like all my cars I grew tired of it. TBH, I find slow (In comparison to my 490rwhp R32) and I want something else that’s more track ready, or something that could be far more easier

    • 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).
