sooooo do we need just one more person for this to go ahead?

Pretty sure we're good to go with 4 people. Jap rails are getting sent down in the next couple of days, and ccubed are organising individual invoices. Darrinspencer will have more details shortly... :P Hanging out to have a complete car again!

No stress mate, we are always too busy

Sorry to kill your possible sale

After waiting 13 months to get these made, the quality was shit.

They were suppose to take 6-8 weeks to get made!

Have a look when this thread originally started!!!

The guy was well capiable, recently making all the carbon work for Handbrake's mega R35 GTR build, but managed to totally give us a crap job and charge us for poor service.

I have had to fully bog the entire length to get them flat

Will be in primer either this weekend or next

They are not good enough to just paint and fit.

Any of you guys tried to use the existing plates with some fibreglass mods to bolt them down and clean them up in the sections where the racks went through them?

Ive got a spare pair of rails i'm thinking of trying this with. Should cost much (like $20 in fibreglass and resin). I'm just assuming there is a reason it hasn't been tried yet

I did have a original plan of fully covering the entire roof strip in 1 or 2 layers of fibreglass, then bog and sand and paint.

The problem with the roof strips they are covered in a rubber/plastic coat over s/steel metal.

Too hard to remove the coating, plus the front end is approx 4-5cm long of solid plastic, not metal.

Still worth a try.

Pics of the fibreglass ones we bought

This was last weekend. Now both sanded and getting undercoated this weekend

Does anyone have a picture of how the roof is bonded to the chassis?

I'm having my Stag re-sprayed in a few months time & the paint shop says it's dinted to hell & may be better to replace entire roof. I would love to find a dual sunroof car & convert mine.

3 quotes I've had so far range from $6600 to $9000 for full job including fitting this kit (supplied by me) http://www.freeway-dolphin.co.jp/aeroform/stagea/nissan_stagea_c34-wh.htm

Thanks.

    • 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).
