I am sort of new to the skyline scene

2 years owner and 6 months or so on SAU forum

I would love nothing more than to go for a cruise with

a whole bunch of other skylines/imports...except maybe

sex with a whole bunch of Brazilian dancers.

But all I picture in my head is Sergeant Wanker

rubbing his hands together as he sees/hears a dozen BOVs

scream by.

As I have never been hassled b4 I don't want a defect

just to get my rocks off on a cruise

You know just because youre paranoid

doesn't mean theyre not after you!!!!

Well thats the risk you take if your gonna do something stupid.

On the few cruises i've been on, I've never been pulled over.

Even if I was theres nothing actually illegal with my car.

you must be in the minority

I reckon 90% imports would/could be defected

I don't mean driving silly either

just the fact theres numbers

Cruises are fun

Chances there is a more of a bunky silvia ( like mine ) they would like to pull over more than your car

Dont stress!!!

Its so much fun, and all the people are really awsome! Ive met some of the most nicest people on cruises!

Oh and dont drive like a spoon and your safe ( thumbs up )

i think you've been watching to much ignition dvd or some shit

most of the time they wont come out and say HEY IM GONNA DEFECT EVERYONE HERE

only when there abused

bulk fun to be had and plenty of nice people!

Public cruises can be an issue due to a minority of hero's showing how cool they are by spinning the wheels at every take off etc....or prooving how tough they are by mouthing off at the police who attend to see whats going on.

We do SAUWA members only cruises....good bunch of guys all driving Skylines (with the odd Stagea, silvia and 350z), no hero's and no problems from the boys in blue.

In fact on a members cruise if that was to happen, the person involved would be told to leave immediately!

This sounds like the option I should take

Maybe I'll have to join

cruises are dead to me. I'd estimate 10k to clear a defect.

The last cruise i went on was the ignition DVD Hillary's cruise and we all know how that turned out. Was lucky not to be defected for my 19's.

Now my GTR has a stroker motor, T04Z, 550hp, full cage, etc etc etc I'd have no hope.

Hopefully this whole hoon bullshit will blow over and i'll be able to drive my car again without having to pull into a shopping centre and hide every time i see a cop car behind me.

we ll as everyone knows a full cage is not street legal so your car shouldn't even be on the road so if you get picked up it's your own fault

and as for 19's i don't think so

law been in for 3 years 1.5 RULE R32 GTR CAN GO TO 20X10 LEGAL SIZE RIMS

Edited by gazza750

Gazza im 99% sure thats incorrect.

You cant increase front/rear track by a certain amount and generally cant increase the width past the widest available on the highest model of the car.

i.e. 8 inch wide on the GT-R

Rolling Diameter cant by increased by more than 2 inches.

Its something like this.

You cant increase the track at all on a FWD car.

I'll look into it.

if you dont act like a dick you will have no hassle and if you want to do skids etc there is a time and a place yeah there is the ocaasional police car rolling up but if you are doing nothing wrong thety either just leave or tell you to move on dont run dont be a dick and all is good see you out there

well there's the thing, you need roll cage for drags if you want to run 10's (not that i've done this yet) but it's illegal for the road. Tell me how that helps to keep drag racing at the strip?

Anyway i know it's illegal and if i get busted will cop it on the chin, i just won't be pushing my luck by going on big cruises.

As for the wheels they are 19 x 10.5. But i do have 3 sets of wheels for it anyway. :)

There's a few other defects that are just as obvious. If only the R32 GTR was made pre 1986. It's a little absurd that 3 years can make so much difference to the mods your are allowed to have. :)

    • 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).
