Not sure what I'm allowed to say. But I cant tell you its cost more than 200k for one Hummer at where I work. This is a brand new one.

Hummerman what exactly are you trying to do? Just wondering. Are you planning to start your own hummer company in Sydney?

All the best with your intentions if you do, as we'll probably meet sometime in the future :D

Here are 2 Australian companies that stretch Hummers.

I will most likely be accused of something for doing this, but let me make this statement first:

I have NOT worked for these firms, I do NOT work for them. I have nothing to do with them what-so-ever. I'm just trying to help a fellow member. So ease up on the negative comments. Even though i am new to SAU i have been in the automotive industry for decades repairing, purchasing and selling. I have many contacts both here and overseas so obtaining this info was easy.

Hope this helps. Hope it's allowed.

This company is in WA. They have a website you can go to, but I'm not putting it here it's not worth the trouble. They build a very unique stretch. High quality.

come to think of it i think in the last few years they let classic cars (think over 30 years old) stay as left hand drive (eg 60's caddilacs and stuff)

I don't think we are talking about 30 year old hummers here.... so it has no relevance. it's like saying they let you keep factory seatbelts on EP3 civic imports, that doesn't mean you can for a nissan atlas does it?

yes older cars can be kept LHD and the rules on this vary from state to state. but that has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about here.

Am looking at HOPEFULLY starting my own limo company..... a long way off for now, just doing the research before i committ.... it isnt a small sum of money to part with.

    • 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).
