they're no different here in the switch to anywhere else mate.

I drove around for 12 months with a cf bonnet and never had an issue.

I did not hang out in the usual boy racer haunts tho. lappin the switch is a guaranteed way to get your arse caned on a regular basis.

You fita cf bonnet and ya takes ya chances. My mate from logan just got done and had to have it cleared but as he said, its no biggie.

Hook up with us some time and we'll show you the ropes in the switch.

What was the fine for beeping? My brother got booked for that (and a plethora of other things, lol) many moons ago and it was something like "inappropriate use of an emergency device" if I recall? That was also in Ipswich incidentally.

Yeh drive around with the Carbon hood but I would be packing some lube. Its like swimming in a tank of sharks and thinking.....could I get bitten.......It might not happen overnight but it will happen.

The only bonnets they are letting go is the BLITS fibreglass bonnets as they are ADR approved.

Goodluck.....especially in Ippy

Cheers

It was really funny because it was a $60 fine and for the description on the fine he wrote "Toot toot toot toot, telling her friends she was here"

The lady at the Dept Trans when I paid for it lol'd.

    • 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).
