I'm a bit wary of SK as there have been problems with him providing the goods after ppl have paid for them. I dont know if all this has been rectified yet.

I can not speak highly enough of him. He has been very generous with his time and knowledge in every dealing I have had with him. Much of what he did for me was not financial gain buy for knowledge of a new model.

i'm keen to get this up and going :) lets start it soon!

Xanadu grill & kit.

Very similar to the Balsinari or Kenstyle grills that is available (but without the Kenstyle insignia on the right side)

M35 Nismo S-Tunes, fairly cheap, buy it now. Says 2WD, but i think these may fit the AWD models from the look of them

Rears, yes, fronts, no. Front shock on AWD doesn't have forked lower mount, it is flat on the end with a groove machined around. Bolts into the curved, forged link bolted to lower control arm. This is because of the front driveshaft.

From what I have read, they are getting pretty good reviews in Japan.

I don't know how that equates to our shitty roads, but from all accounts, quite a nice set of shocks - especially for the price!

Soooo.... are you going to post all the bits that you think are a good buy?

I don't get this thread. I know that the premise was good, but how many times has someone had their eye on something, posted it here and called dibs?

...And if someone did call dibs and another poster really, really desperately wanted the same item, would they really not bid?

I don't want to get in a bidding war as much as the next guy, nor do I have the money to.

I guess I just like the surprise when someone announces a mod they bought/installed and of what benefit it is, especially if I was curious about it.

yeah as i come across some good stuff i post it. if both people wanted it anyway, then they would have a bidding war on anyway even if it wasnt posted on here.

plus, some people dont have the time to trawl through 98 pages of 'M35' like we do, so i feel like im giving them a hand :)

but if someone calls dibs on something, i wont bid on it. thats me tho......

and also if i find something that i REALLY want, i wont be posting it here anyway :)

    • 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).
