Don't get verdes.

Why?

I wanna be ballllllllerrrrr

Just got a glowing performance review despite the fact i have done very little for the last 6 months! Win!

Sounds like my job hahahaha

Yeah brakes are next on my list. And the cat + front pipes fitted. Will have to wait for a bit though since I'm all out of money again after buying 4 new tyres and rego + insurance on the GTR.

yes that would add up!

I cant decide what to do brakes wise, the Ksports look pretty good....but all my other stuff is brandwhore...but brakes inparticular seem to carry a massive brand tax. though with the Aus dollar so good willwood and stoptech become pretty good options

Have you had a look at the porche brembos? Another one that would be worthwhile looking at while the dollar is up there. Have a look on ebay the only thing is getting the adapters made up etc. The stoptech brakes look like a good package aswell though and less f**king around.

Im all for no f**king around!

I think Ksport has the inside running at the moment, I saw so many cars using them to great effect down at superlap and everything i need gets delivered to my door, If i could find a decent set of r33 GTR brembos I would use them but every one wants too much, Its really making me regret that i didnt hold on to the set i had on the old R32 for longer. I had them in my garage for ages but them swapped them for the engine in Annas car.

Rotas are reasonably cheep. Could try them? Atleast they copy some nice looking wheels. Or have a look at the advanti rims that option 1 sell.

Yeah ideally I want some white thin 5 spoke ones... or some chrome/shadow chrome like my old ones.

But lately I've liked the idea of filling the entire space with some massive chrome bling dinner plate style thing....... so ridiculous....... so beautiful......... *sheds a tear*

you could sell the ones you have though right? Change over wouldnt be so bad

The ones in my pic were sold a few months ago...... I'm running 16" wheels that are similar to stockos at the moment

    • 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).
