if youre happy with that ride then youre right, there is no reason for adjustable.

Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

also check the bushes for the rear spring cradle as well. mine were wobbly as f**k when we took it out. dont know if thats just the way of the ARX though.

im pretty sure it did due to the larger diameter bar.

you can get whiteline or superpro swaybar bushes for almost any car. if yours are stuffed, just get some new nolathane ones it will make it ride nicely

I shouldve gotten onto that GB do you know if it came with Sway bar links as well??

I don't think it cam with a new Link arm (the Link arm is the same as off a 350z) as there is no real need but I would think there are new bushes as the diameter of the sway bar is increased.

GB comes with new "D" bushes, to accommodate the different dia. The link rods are re-used, as the bars are a direct replacement. You can buy "heavy duty" links though whiteline, but I believe you're better using the std ones. They're the "fusible link" in the system, for want of a better word.

yeh even a couple of jap nuts say the Std nissan ones are better.

$30 so just gonna pick one up tonight on the way home.

$30 isn't bad, I had to replace the fronts on my old Delica years ago, Misu wanted $220 each. I ended up making a set out of 4 stainless rose joints but it still cost a fortune.

just ask for 2003 350z rear sway bar links! same part number, which means you dont have to go out of your way to the import nissans

So are the shocks/springs in our M35's interchangable with Z33/V35's?

Ours are taller and the rear is a higher spring rate, that and I think the rear shock fork is wider and would need a spacer.

They look very similar though.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
